What Smartcare Software does

Aaniie, Inc. (formerly Smartcare Software) is a U.S.-based private SaaS company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, with 11–50 employees. The company sells an all-in-one cloud platform targeting home care and childcare agencies, organized under two core product lines — Aaniie Care (EVV-compliant software for single-site and multi-location home care providers) and Aaniie Kids (a childcare provider management platform covering placements, corporate backup care, communication, applicant tracking, and mobile booking). Shared modules across both product lines include scheduling, CRM and marketing, billing and payments, payroll, mobile applications, client/family portals, and KPIs and business intelligence. The company also offers Aaniie Intelligence, an AI-powered assistant (Ally) with predictive analytics built specifically for home care and childcare workflows, and Aaniie Payments, an embedded ACH and credit card processing module.

Aaniie generates revenue through a quote-based monthly SaaS subscription model with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers; prospects are routed through a demo request flow supported by a U.S.-based inside sales team with a stated two-hour response SLA, alongside an enterprise field-sales motion for larger agencies. The platform holds SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA compliance certifications, supports Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) for Medicaid-regulated visits, and advertises 99.9% uptime maintained for nine years. The customer base skews toward SMB home care agencies (e.g., Ashford Home Care, Maymont Senior Care, QwestCare Home Health, Acti-Kare, Touching Hearts At Home) with a smaller enterprise footprint in senior living communities (Galloway Ridge, Longhorn Village). Integration partnerships include PCC (ProKids Corp) for childcare interoperability.

The company has raised approximately $5 million in disclosed funding, led by Ziegler Link-Age Funds in May 2022, with prior participation from IDEA Fund Partners, Pablo Capital, Rock River Capital, and Chippewa Valley Angel Investors Network. It was recognized on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies and holds multiple G2 badges in the home care software category, including Top 10% performer, Best Support, Best Estimated ROI, and Leader. The company rebranded from Smartcare Software to Aaniie and operates exclusively in the United States.
