The whole picture

It reads what your systems already produce, and comes to you with what matters.

The whole of it, in order: how it starts, what makes it feel like a hire, where it talks to you, what a fortnight with it looks like, which systems it reads, and what it’s allowed to do on its own.

How it works

Hired by Friday.

Half an hour to set up. Then it works every fortnight, and comes to you when something matters.

30 minutes

Give it access.

Point AreaManager at the reports your systems already produce — Xplor, OWNA, payroll, Xero. Nothing to install, nothing to migrate.

Every fortnight

It gets to work.

It reads, reconciles and watches every room, roster, fee and claim — and comes to you only when something matters.

Morning Sarah. I went through this fortnight’s numbers. Three things need your attention.
The biggest is Tuesdays in Toddlers — roughly $18,600 a year of unused capacity. I’ve worked out three options. Want to see them?
Three options for the Tuesday places. I’d start with the waitlist — the message is drafted.
Waitlist. Send it.
Sent to nine families. I’ll tell you as they reply.

A few words

You say the word.

It brings you the options, priced. You answer in a word. It does the work, and tells you when it’s done.

Why it feels like a hire

Four things that make AreaManager a hire.

AreaManagerWhatsApp
Tuesdays in Toddlers are running under the week. Four places are ready to offer to the waitlist — say the word.
Waitlist
Toddlers · Tuesdays
4 places → waitlist · message drafted

It fills the room.

Every room, every day, against capacity and the waitlist. It finds the gap, prices it, and has the message to families ready before you’ve seen the number.

AreaManagerMicrosoft Teams
Cross-checked Xero, MYOB and the supplier invoices. Food is $5.10 a child-day against $3.90 before March — here’s where.
Xero
MYOB
Invoices

One question, every system.

Food, cleaning, rent, agency — line by line across the books, the payroll and the invoices, against last month, last year and the other centres. Drift gets caught the fortnight it starts.

AreaManagerWhatsApp
Two First Aid certificates expire this month. I’ve messaged both educators — I’ll chase until the new ones are on file.
Deputy
First Aid · renewedon file
First Aid · bookedchasing

It chases, so you don’t have to.

Certificates, quals, ratios and the rules under all of it. It knows the dates before they matter, does the chasing itself, and only comes to you when someone doesn’t respond.

AreaManagerEmail
The regulator’s July update has three changes that touch our centres. I’ve summarised what to action.

3 changes
2 to action

It reads the news for you.

Regulator updates, award changes, CCS rules, new services approved nearby. It reads them all, works out which ones affect us, and turns them into a short list of what to do.

No new system to live in

It works where you work.

You shouldn’t have to log into another platform every morning to find out whether something needs attention. AreaManager comes to you.

Talk to it through

It alerts you, answers questions, asks for decisions, sends briefings and follows up actions through the channels your team already uses. Pick one to see the same answer arrive there.

No dashboard required.

AreaManager is the product. The interface is simply how you communicate with it. There’s a web app when you want to go deeper — but the work comes to you.

How are wages looking this fortnight?
10:12
You’re at 61.8% of revenue — 1.4 points better than last fortnight. Fridays are still carrying about 17 unnecessary educator hours across the month. Fixing those saves about $9,400 a year without touching ratios. I’ve drafted the roster change.

Your systems are its tools.

AreaManager doesn’t ask you to replace the software already running your centres. It reads what they produce, joins it together, and comes to you with what matters.

Findings, questions, decisions and follow-ups arrive in the channels your team already uses. No dashboard required.

Your software runs the centre. AreaManager helps run the business.

You set the authority

Nothing happens without your yes.

Every action that needs you arrives like this: what it wants to do, why, what it checked, and three buttons. A fee change, a roster change, a hire, a message to families — you decide which get a card and which it just handles.

It checks the rules before it asks, and says which ones.
You can edit what it drafted before it goes.
“Not yet” is an answer. It parks it and brings it back.
