“Not being able to link our finance information to the program so all data is then consolidated in one place.”

Angie S.

Human Resource

Cons

“Its early days so no great concerns, other than in terms of annual leave, the system does not allow to put in exact dates for employees on fixed term contracts.”

Julie M.

Executive Assistant

“There are some mandatory features and tasks that needs to be added to the Bright safe(health and safety component of the system ) like the CQC compliance updates, basic care plans and assessments templates for domiciliary care providers ,daily tasks & some other stuffs which makes it incomplete and the system can not be rated as ALL IN ONE.”

Evelyn I.

Registered Manager

“There were a couple of updates and processes that could have been communicated more clearly, and sometimes it took a little time to get information sorted.”

Sneha G.

Practice Manager

Cons

“The images are a bit naff - they could be a bit more sophisticated with the available graphics that is on the market.”

Lisa R.

Co-Founder

“The creation of reports in HR Partner for utilizing the data is somewhat confusing.”

April I.

Director of Finance and Administration

“The integration with xero isn't super smooth, but this is more because of xero.”
