Implementing a new system and changing the way we work seems daunting. How will you support us to roll out?
Aspirico have always adopted a partnership approach with our customers, whether they support 25 people or 2500. Our Client Management team consists of Social Care professionals with “real-world” experience of running care and support services, and all customers are assigned a dedicated Client Manager from our team to guide them through the implementation and training process.

What if my team are not computer experts?
iplanit has be designed in coproduction with social care providers for over a decade, and has been specifically developed to be an intuitive, self-service tool for the non-technical user. The user interface is clear, consistent and requires minimal navigation to reach the relevant functions for everyday use.

-
What devices do we need to run iplanit?
iplanit is a web-native cloud-based system, meaning that it is accessible from any internet enabled device via a browser – including desktops, laptops, tablets or smartphones.The in-built Responsive Web Layout means that iplanit “knows” what type of device you are using, and adjusts itself accordingly, giving it the “look and feel” of an app when accessed from a mobile device, without the loss of data or functionality associated with an App.
-
How do you charge for iplanit?
We believe in transparency in our costings, and therefore we separate implementation costs, as opposed to “bundling” them up into Annual Subscription Charges (licences) so that our customers do not continue to pay them on an ongoing basis.
One-off implementation costs are determined by the type of configuration and system-build (Standard or Custom Configuration) requested, and include, creation of their unique iplanit system, configuration, data upload (Service Users and staff), training materials, roll-out support and an assigned Client Manager.
Licenses are charged Per Service User, with no limit on the number of staff, management or Service User “invited guests” and reviewed annually (i.e. we don’t charge extra for the addition of a few licences here and there – the only exception being significant changes in volume – such as win or loss of a contract, acquisition of another service etc)
