Helping providers thrive in the digital era

Award-winning, cloud-based AP automation solution Lightyear is a proven “must-have” for aged care providers.

In the fast-paced world of the aged care sector, maintaining financial stability can be a challenging task. Government funding often falls short of covering administration and finance expenses, and traditional manual processes can lead to many problems – including time delays, human errors, and an overwhelming administrative burden.

In the competitive digital era, aged care providers must turn to innovative solutions to streamline their financial operations. Lightyear is at the forefront of this transformation.
