How BASScare Streamlined Aged Care Operations with Inerva ERP

A team analyzing customer feedback.

Background

BASScare, a leading aged care provider with a $70 million turnover, provides 266 beds across three residential aged care facilities and offers 165 independent living and assisted living units. Under CEO Craig Bardrick, BASScare experienced significant growth and operational complexity, necessitating robust technological solutions.

Inerva is a good product for the right-sized business. It offers significant advantages in integration and automation. The support team was excellent and I appreciate the system’s flexibility.

The Challenge

Before implementing Inerva, BASScare faced significant limitations with their legacy ERP system:

  • Manual Processes: Rostering and payroll required time-consuming manual entries, increasing administrative burden and risk of errors.  
  • Limited Integration: Interfacing with external systems was cumbersome, leading to inefficiencies and data silos.
  • Poor Reporting Capabilities: Reports were difficult to generate and interpret, lacking user-friendly formats and dashboards.
  • Support Constraints: Aging technology and limited technical support hindered responsiveness.

The Solution

Craig and his team chose Inerva for its modern technology, SQL database structure, and potential to streamline operations and improve data accessibility.

  • Improved Efficiency with Automation: Automating payroll and rostering processes reduced double entry and manual errors. Inerva demonstrated significant potential for efficiency gains.
  • Enhanced System Integration: Inerva’s ability to integrate with complementary systems streamlined accounts payable processes. Craig highlighted the automatic invoice approvals and scanning capabilities that saved substantial time.
  • Operational Scalability: Transitioning to a hosted model mitigated infrastructure limitations. Craig emphasised the value of centralised hosting for easier upgrades and maintenance, aligning with BASScare’s broader digital transformation.

The Results

Craig and his team had a positive user experience:

  • Responsive Support: Craig praised team members on the helpdesk for their proactive support and expertise.
  • Customisation and Flexibility: Inerva’s SQL-based reporting facilitated data extraction, aiding in occupancy and labor cost analysis—critical metrics for aged care management
