Made for the operators the big software forgets — the independent groups running one to fifteen homes on spreadsheets, WhatsApp and month-end panic. You know the business inside out. You just don’t have it all in one place.

The daily reality

You didn’t get into care to live in spreadsheets.

Yet somehow the week goes on chasing the things that quietly cost you money and sleep.

Agency creep

Spend climbs a shift at a time until it has eaten the month’s margin.

Inspection panic

Scrambling to pull evidence together the week CQC calls.

No group picture

Every home in a different spreadsheet, none of them current.

WhatsApp chaos

Rotas, sickness and swaps buried in group chats and texts.

CareOps IQ pulls it all into one calm, current view — so you spot problems early, not at month-end or on inspection day.

Agency cost control

Stop agency quietly eating your margin.

Agency is the biggest cost you can actually control. CareOps IQ shows spend against budget, your reliance trend, and exactly where bank or internal staff could save you — for every home and the group as a whole.

  • Live spend vs budget, per home and group-wide
  • Reliance trend so creep never surprises you
  • Savings you can act on before the next rota

Inspection readiness

Walk into inspections already ready.

CareOps IQ turns how your homes actually run — staffing, occupancy, agency, training, payroll — into Well-led and governance evidence, mapped to the 2026 CQC framework, and rolled up across every home. It is the proof a care-notes app simply cannot produce.

  • Governance evidence generated from your live data
  • Built on the 2026 KLOEs — not the retired scoring model
  • See gaps across every home, not just one

Staff app

Give your team their own app.

Staff get a private app — no login faff — to see their shifts, confirm hours, pick up open shifts, book leave and check their pay. Fewer WhatsApp messages, fewer payroll disputes, and a rota that fills itself.

  • Shifts, hours confirmation and payslip estimates on their phone
  • Open shifts staff can claim before you call an agency
  • Leave and availability that flow straight to the manager

One platform, the right view for everyone

Owners see the group. Managers see their home.

Owner

The whole group, and the numbers behind it.

  • Every home rolled up in one overview
  • Revenue, wage bill, agency spend and margin
  • Payroll exports and payment reconciliation
  • CQC readiness and risk across the group

Registered manager

Just their home, focused on the day-to-day.

  • Scoped to their assigned home only
  • Today’s priorities: shifts, actions, gaps
  • Rota building and hours confirmation
  • No group financials — the right level of access

CareOps IQ started as the tool we needed to run our own homes. Every feature earns its place because a real manager or owner asked for it — nothing built to look good in a demo.
