The product

  • check_circleCare providers record daily logs, visit reports, incidents, handovers and checks in one place.
  • check_circleRecords are organised for UK inspections, so evidence for inspectors is ready when it's needed.
  • check_circleMaker–checker approvals: one person records, another approves, with escalation when something waits too long.
  • check_circleBuilt for many providers, with each provider's data kept apart.
  • check_circleAI drafts summaries and reports, and personal details are replaced with placeholders before anything reaches the AI service.
  • check_circleScreens update live when a colleague records something, and access follows each person's role.

Making change safe

  • check_circleFor a platform holding children's information, a bad release isn't an option.
  • check_circleWe built a separate staging environment with its own domain, database and service, so every new version is tested before real users see it.
  • check_circleEvery deploy now backs up its settings automatically, so a release can be rolled back in minutes.
  • check_circleEvery server and step is written down, so releases never depend on one person.

What this means for you

If your software handles sensitive data, safety has to be built in from day one: data kept apart, two-person approval, and safe releases. We build it that way from the start.
