Client Overview
CareEase Solutions is a mid-sized aged care and disability service provider based in regional Australia. They provide in-home care, respite services, and community programs to over 2,000 clients annually. Despite their success, CareEase faced challenges in managing client relationships and operational workflows due to outdated systems and manual processes.

The Challenge
CareEase Solutions struggled with the following issues:

• A lack of integration between their Client Management System (CMS) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools, leading to data silos.
• Manual processes for client intake, scheduling, and care planning, which reduced operational efficiency.
• Limited visibility into client journey touchpoints, affecting personalised care.
• Difficulty in tracking and managing leads and converting them into long-term clients.

CareEase needed a comprehensive solution to streamline their operations, enhance client experiences, and improve staff efficiency.

The Solution
CareEase engaged THREEDIGITAL to lead the implementation of a unified CMS and CRM strategy. Leveraging THREEDIGITAL's expertise in aged care technology, the following approach was adopted:

1. Discovery and Requirements Gathering
   THREEDIGITAL facilitated workshops with CareEase’s management, care coordinators, and IT team to identify operational pain points and priorities. Requirements were mapped for both CMS and CRM systems to ensure alignment with business goals.

2. System Selection
   THREEDIGITAL conducted a comparative analysis of leading CMS and CRM solutions, focusing on features, costs, and integration capabilities. Zoho CRM was chosen as the CRM for its lead management and marketing automation tools, while Sandwai was selected as the CMS for its robust care planning and scheduling functionalities.

3. Customised Implementation

   • Integrated the CMS and CRM systems to enable seamless data flow, eliminating silos.
   • Configured workflows to automate client intake, scheduling, and billing processes.
   • Tailored CRM functionalities to track leads, manage client communications, and capture feedback.

4. Staff Training and Change Management
   A comprehensive training program was rolled out to ensure adoption across departments. THREEDIGITAL’s change management strategy addressed staff concerns and encouraged collaboration.

5. Post-Implementation Support
   THREEDIGITAL provided ongoing support, including system optimisation, monthly reports on usage and ROI, and periodic training sessions.

The Results
The CMS and CRM implementation transformed CareEase Solutions’ operations:

• Increased Efficiency: Automated workflows reduced client intake time by 50% and care planning by 30%.
• Enhanced Client Experience: Integrated systems provided a 360-degree view of clients, enabling more personalised care and improved satisfaction scores.
