Automated optimization replaces hours of manual planning. CAIRE instantly generates conflict-free schedules and reallocates visits in real time when changes occur — sick leave, new clients, or urgent additions. This frees up scheduling teams to focus on strategic staffing and quality improvements instead of administrative firefighting.

10% higher client satisfaction

Clients experience better continuity and more reliable visit times. CAIRE helps ensure the right caregiver arrives at the right time with the right competencies, while also supporting municipal requirements and environmental goals. Predictable, high-quality service leads to happier clients and fewer complaints.

Initiate Optimization

Simple click to start the AI engine. CAIRE gathers all relevant data – visits, staff, times, distances, rules, and preferences. No code commands or technical skills required.

2

AI-Driven Calculation

Advanced optimization engine analyzes millions of combinations. Considers hard constraints (must-haves) and soft constraints (preferences) to find the optimal solution.

3

Optimal Schedule Proposal

CAIRE presents an optimized schedule with clear markings of changes. Usually means shorter travel distances, fewer gaps, and more even distribution of visits.

4

Control & Fine-Tuning

Review in visual calendar view. Easily make manual adjustments if needed. System warns if any change creates conflicts with other constraints.

5

Approval

When satisfied, adopt as new work schedule. Use CAIRE as primary tool or export back to your original system. Nothing changes until you approve – the decision is yours.

Real-Time Optimization & Proactive Management

Dynamic assistance that handles changes continuously

⚡ Always Up-to-Date

CAIRE doesn't see schedules as 'finished' – they're living documents that can be continuously adjusted for best results. Regardless of what happens during the week, you always have an updated, optimized schedule to follow.

Adaptation to Changes

Employee calls in sick? New acute client? Initiate re-optimization in real-time. AI engine recalculates and suggests how to best cover absences or new visits. Avoid panic solutions with an optimized plan B.

Sick Leave & Vacancy Handling

CAIRE considers available substitutes, hourly employees, and other resources. Suggests redistributing shifts, utilizing underutilized staff, or moving less urgent visits based on your rules and competency requirements.

Proactive Notifications

Configure notifications for key events. If an optimized schedule risks breaking due to sudden changes, the platform flags it for responsible parties. Act proactively before problems grow.

Unutilized Hours Recovery

System identifies unutilized hours – staff with large gaps where they could take more visits. Proactively suggests how to increase coverage and maximize every working hour for better efficiency.
