Geras

What Geras does

Geras is a cloud-based SaaS platform developed and operated by New Zealand–registered Comfac Technology Options Limited for aged residential care facilities. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Auckland, the product is purpose-built for New Zealand rest homes and nursing homes, with feature sets shaped by compliance requirements issued by the Ministry of Health, including InterRAI assessments, medication management, and audit-ready reporting.

The platform is delivered as a centrally hosted web application with an Android mobile companion (Geras Mobile), organized into six core modules: Resident Care and Administration, Workload Management, Facility Management, Roster Management, Dashboard Management, and Facility and Compliance Reports. It covers the end-to-end operational scope of a facility — clinical and nursing records, staff scheduling, maintenance and hazard logs, real-time dashboards, and one-click data migration from legacy paper-based systems. The core differentiator is domain-specific depth for the NZ aged care regulatory regime rather than horizontal healthcare IT scale. Complementary services bundled around the platform include consultation, clinical governance and compliance advisory, website development, Google for Business setup, and digital marketing — extending the commercial relationship beyond pure SaaS.

Geras monetizes on a subscription basis with no publicly disclosed pricing, sells via direct sales with consultation, on-site setup, and free training, and operates exclusively in New Zealand. The customer base is concentrated in a narrow vertical with limited publicly named references (most notably Shelly Beach Lodge, fully implemented in June 2016). The business is privately held, bootstrapped with no disclosed venture funding, and led by a small team including Team Lead Ryan Canja.

Direct peers

• Eldermark: Software platform for senior living and long-term care operators covering clinical, operational, and financial workflows. Closely comparable to Geras in serving residential aged care facilities with integrated care, staffing, and compliance modules.
• AlayaCare: Cloud-based home and community care platform with clinical documentation, scheduling, and mobile workforce functionality. Comparable in that it offers a similar SaaS architecture and mobile-first care worker tooling, though it targets home care rather than residential facilities.
• Caremerge: Care coordination and engagement platform for senior living communities, including resident/family communication and clinical workflows. Comparable to Geras in targeting residential aged care operators and bundling resident records with communication tools.
• MatrixCare: EHR and care management SaaS purpose-built for senior living, skilled nursing, and home care. Highly comparable to Geras in product scope (resident records, medication charts, compliance reporting) and target buyer (operators of residential care facilities).
• Person Centred Software (PCS): Mobile care planning and evidence-recording platform widely adopted across UK and Australian residential aged care. Comparable to Geras in combining clinical/care documentation with mobile point-of-care and compliance reporting.

Broad incumbents

• PointClickCare: Large North American cloud platform serving the senior care continuum (skilled nursing, assisted living, home health). Comparable because it sells a SaaS suite covering resident care, clinical documentation, and operations — the same functional footprint as Geras, though at vastly greater scale and breadth.
• WellSky (ClearCare/WellSky Personal Care): Large health and community care software suite including personal care and home health modules. Comparable to Geras as an end-to-end SaaS stack for care delivery organisations, though much broader in scope and geography.

Emerging players

• OnShift: Workforce management software focused on senior care staffing, scheduling, and employee engagement. Comparable to Geras's Roster Management and workload scheduling modules, though OnShift does not provide the broader clinical/resident care module set.
• CareVention HealthCare: Specialist EHR and care management software for the PACE/long-term care market. Comparable to Geras in delivering clinical, medication, and compliance modules for a regulated care population, though serving a different (US) funding model.

Regional players

• iCareManager: Australian-built aged care management software for residential aged care facilities. Closest geographic comparable to Geras given shared regulatory and cultural context; competes for the same trans-Tasman customer base.
