Background
Indigo North Health offers aged care, home care, and social support and is expanding with a new 50-bed facility. Director of Finance and Corporate Services, Sam Ridley, who has extensive experience in aged care, leveraged her prior Inerva implementation to improve efficiency and service delivery at Indigo North Health."
The automation of manual processes has allowed us to reallocate 1.5 full-time staff members to more strategic roles.

The Challenge
- Prior to Inerva, Indigo North Health used manual spreadsheets and outdated systems.
- Inefficiencies in Medicare reconciliations, calculating refundable accommodation deposits, and managing supply chains.
- Processes were time-consuming, error-prone, and put a heavy administrative burden on staff.
- Old systems were fragmented, requiring separate programs for payroll, rostering, and other functions.
- Duplication of effort made it difficult to maintain accurate records and hindered operational efficiency.
The Solution
Sam chose Inerva cloud ERP for the following benefits:
- Automated Processes: Streamlined Medicare reconciliations, refundable accommodation deposits, and supply chain management, reducing staff workload and errors.
- Integrated System: Combined payroll, rostering, general ledger, and fixed assets into one platform, eliminating the need for multiple systems.
- User-Friendly Interface: Improved staff adaptability, boosting productivity and efficiency.
The benefits we've experienced have been transformative, and I would definitely recommend Inerva to other aged care facilities.
