CAIRE combines the best of both worlds: human expertise in building stable care patterns that maintain continuity, and AI optimization for handling changes and disruptions. The result is a scheduling system that respects relationships while maximizing efficiency.
CAIRE's scheduling system is built on a simple but powerful principle: humans and AI excel at different things. By combining their strengths, we create schedules that are both stable and efficient.
100% Optimized. Dynamic solving for sick leave & urgent needs.
Mixed Mode. New clients fit into existing gaps.
90% Pinned. High Stability. Recurring Patterns.
Planners excel at building stable recurring patterns that maintain continuity and respect client relationships. They understand the nuances of care delivery.
AI excels at finding optimal placement for new visits, handling disruptions, and optimizing routes to minimize travel time.
Stable days with established recurring patterns
Import 30+ days of schedules from external systems. The importer identifies weekly patterns (slingor) and pins those visits.
Planners use the Slinga Editor to adjust weekly patterns without altering current published schedules.
Daily schedules are generated. Planners can manually override or run optimization for larger changes.

Adding new recurring visits without disrupting established patterns
Define frequency, time bands, and required skills for new clients.
Run "pre-plan" optimization. AI inserts movable visits around fixed slingor, balancing travel and workload.
Review suggestions. Accepted visits become fixed according to frequency.

Handling sick leave, cancellations, and urgent needs during the day
Algorithm freezes started/imminent visits. Future visits become flexible.
Solver fills gaps and reassigns visits, minimizing disruption to the rest of the day.
Planner reviews "ghost tracks" (previous positions) and metrics, then publishes to mobile apps.

CAIRE goes beyond simple route optimization to deliver Constraint-Based Care. Rules can be adjusted at the Organization, Service Area, Employee, Client, or Visit level.
Define continuity priority per client. High priority for dementia clients, medium for cleaning.
Guarantees tasks requiring specific skills are only assigned to qualified staff.
Proactively finds flexible visits to fill gaps from cancellations, maximizing revenue.
Advanced architecture, data flows, and lifecycle management.
Track visit timing accuracy and employee adherence over time.
Analyze disruption patterns: which days, employees, or clients cause most updates.
Import 30+ days history from Carefox/Ecare to establish baseline slingor. Two-way sync handles daily operations.
Import PDFs/CSV. Run initial full optimization to generate slingor. Manually export results if needed.
Keep Human Strengths: Planners define rules, continuity, and "slingor". CAIRE codifies this knowledge.
Use Solver Strengths: Global optimization, pre-planning with new clients, and real-time re-optimization.
