Across Minnesota, many IDD providers have felt frustrated with software systems that promise to handle their unique operational and billing needs, but don’t deliver.

Support coordinators in the IDD and rehabilitative services sector are the backbone of effective care. They juggle complex client needs, intricate documentation, service time tracking, and strict compliance standards.  This constant balancing act often means that valuable time is spent on administrative tasks rather than on the human services that truly matter, leading to burnout
