Only used for your Area Manager updates.
No marketing spam. Ever.
“Every centre deserves the support of a great Area Manager. Most owners struggle to justify the cost of a full-time hire. So we built one. It’s available instantly and always on.”
One occupancy point is worth
$15–20k a year.
Recurring agency cover costs
$4,860 a month.
One fee review is worth
$34,200 a year.
Overdue gap fees are sitting at
$18,240.
The kind of number that quietly slips. A Tuesday here, a room there, because nobody’s job is to watch it every day.
Quick answers
before you start.
Still wondering something? Ask AreaManager itself on the demo, or our team is a message away.
Is this another dashboard I have to log into?
No. AreaManager comes to you.
When something needs your attention it messages you where you already are: SMS, WhatsApp or email. You can ask it things and it answers, but the conversation is the smallest part of it. Most of the work happens while you’re in the rooms, and nothing is sent or changed until you have approved it.
Where does what you know about my area come from?
Public sources, and a good many of them. Between them they tell us who operates around you, what they charge, how they are rated, who is advertising, and what has changed this week.
Every figure comes with the day it was read, and AreaManager shows you where it came from when it uses it. Where we haven’t got something, it says so rather than estimating.
How often do you actually look?
Weekly for most of it, fortnightly for advertising, and more often than that where it matters.
You don’t have to go looking. When something moves, AreaManager tells you the day it sees it, with what changed and what it would do about it.
Is my centre in there?
Almost certainly. Every approved service in the country is on the public register, and we read it weekly.
A centre that has only just opened can take a little while to appear. If you can’t find yours, try your suburb instead of your name, or get in touch.
Do I have to hand over my centre’s data?
Not to see your area. That works from your address alone.
Your own numbers open up the rest, because occupancy, staffing cost, arrears and your real fee position can’t be read from outside. AreaManager works with the reports your systems already produce, whether that is Xplor, OWNA, Kidsoft or something else, so you don’t replace anything and you don’t move to a new platform.
What does it do without asking me?
It watches, works things out, and drafts. It will tell you a competitor moved, price what that is worth, find who can cover a shift inside ratio, and have the letter or the message written and waiting.
It does not send any of it until you say so. Nothing reaches a family, a staff member or your systems on its own, and once you have said yes it tells you what it did.
Do you access children’s records?
No. Never.
AreaManager works on the business: occupancy, fees, rosters, families and your market. It is not built to look at children’s learning, development or personal records, and it does not ask for them.
Where does our information live?
Stored and hosted in Australia.
Access is controlled and every client’s data is kept separate. Some processing is done by Anthropic’s AI models, which is set out on our privacy page. We can go through our security and data handling in more detail if your organisation needs it.
What does it cost?
Start free. Pick your centre at the top of this page and AreaManager will go and look at the market around you, then message you what it found. No card, nothing to cancel.
The rest of it reads your own numbers, and that is where occupancy, rosters, fees and overdue accounts come in. Setup is free either way.
Pricing from there is built around your service: how many centres you run, how big they are, and which parts of the work you want AreaManager on. Contact us and we will put a price together for your business, and we will tell you well before anything changes.
