Care system integrations

One visit, one payroll line, one invoice line.

Every pay period someone copies visit hours into payroll and invoices by hand. A hub between scheduling, check-ins, payroll, billing and accounting turns each confirmed visit into the right lines once, and tells you when something fails.

// what matters here

What is different in this industry.

01

From visit to payroll

Confirmed visits become payroll hours without retyping.

02

From visit to invoice

The same visits become invoice lines for families and funders.

03

You see every message

Each exchange is logged, and a failure raises an alert at once.

04

Easy to extend

The hub is documented, so the next system is a small job.

// example projects

Priced examples for this service.

Each one is hypothetical, labelled as such, and priced live from our rate card. Open any of them in the estimator and make it yours.

Scheduling, payroll and billing hub

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

A care agency's office copies visit hours from the scheduler into payroll and into invoices for families and funders, by hand, every pay period.

// What we would build

An integration hub between scheduling, visit check-ins, payroll, billing and accounting, so a confirmed visit becomes payroll hours and an invoice line once, with every message logged.

// What is in it

  • Confirmed visits sent to payroll as hours
  • Invoice lines for families and funders from the same visits
  • Invoices and payments posted to accounting
  • A log of every message, with alerts
  • Documented, so the next system is easy to add

// Stack

  • Node.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • OpenAPI
  • Scheduling, payroll and accounting interfaces
  • AWS

Operations dashboard

Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.

// The problem

The owner of a home care agency sees visits in the scheduler, hours in payroll and invoices in accounting, and finds missed visits and unbilled hours weeks later.

// What we would build

A dashboard that reads scheduling, visit check-ins, payroll and billing into one model, so the owner sees visits completed and missed, hours worked against hours billed, and open shifts by region, every day.

// What is in it

  • Visits scheduled, completed and missed, by region
  • Hours worked against hours billed
  • Open shifts and how fast they are filled
  • Caregiver hours against limits you set
  • Exports for the accountant and funders

// Stack

  • Next.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • dbt
  • Scheduling and payroll interfaces

// questions

Questions we get about this.

Which payroll systems can the care hub connect to?

Most current payroll systems with an interface or import. We confirm yours before we quote.

Can the care hub bill different funders differently?

Yes. Rates and invoice formats are set per funder and per family.

What happens when a care integration message fails?

It is kept, retried and flagged to your office, so nothing is lost silently.
