Nourish provides dedicated onboarding for larger organisations. If you have 100+ carers and need a supported migration, an enterprise platform with implementation services may suit better than self-service.
If you're already connected to payroll or finance systems through Nourish's integration ecosystem, the switching cost needs to be weighed carefully.
If you're an existing CarePlanner customer being transitioned to Nourish, it may be simpler to continue that migration than to switch to a new platform mid-process.
