Home Care Agencies Use “Companion On the Road” As New Mobile Feature

Home care agencies can take their scheduling software on the road with the new HomeTrak Companion iPad application, dubbed “Companion on the Road.”  Announced by HomeTrak, the leader in home care management and scheduling software, the application is available for download now through iTunes and is free to all users.

Created for non-medical home care agencies, HomeTrak Companion is designed to meet the needs of those operating a home care business. It tracks detailed and ever-changing information on clients and caregivers while keeping the agency informed of who is referring those clients and caregivers. The iPad application integrates with DropBox to allow users to take information on the road with them without relying on access to Wi-Fi.  Features accessible through the iPad application includes caregiver/client schedules, contacts and maps.

“Many of our Companion users are on the road, going from site to site and needed a way to easily tap into information quickly and easily.  Working with some of our power users, we decided creating an iPad application was the way to go,” commented Rick Morey, CEO of HomeTrak.

The addition of “Companion on the Road” is another step in providing users with access to information anytime, from anywhere. Using the Export to DropBox feature in Companion, contact and schedule information can be exported and downloaded onto the mobile device by syncing using a DropBox account. The app is designed to manually download exported information in DropBox so that it is available when there is no access to a computer running Companion or a wireless network connection. All information downloaded to the mobile device is read-only.

Morey continued, “Our ‘Companion on the Road’ app is great for afterhours access or when travelling to client sites.  All users have to do is set up what information they would like access to on their iPads and then sync with DropBox.  All of this information is then available at their fingertips wherever they go with their iPad.  We predict a lot more flexibility and remote access to information with our new app being available to users.”

The application is available for download from iTunes by searching for “hometrak”.  Click on “Companion for the Road” and download for free. For a free demo or to view screenshots of “Companion on the Road”, please visit http://www.hometrak.com/key-information/ipad-app or call 1-866-740-6011.
