Senior living CRM

The most technologically advanced CRM ever built for senior living.

Every other CRM in this industry waits for your team to act, then writes down what happened. ThrivoIQ moves first. It answers a family before she has set her phone down, hands your sales director a morning already ranked by what each family is worth, and holds twelve rules across every thread so nothing goes quiet without somebody knowing.

The family is an example. The timings are what arrival dispatch does in production.

What this category settled for

Most senior living CRMs are a filing cabinet with a pipeline drawn on the lid.

They record the call your director already made. They hold the note she already wrote. They show her a board she has to drag cards across and a report she has to build herself. Every one of them waits for a person to move first, which is exactly backwards in a business where the community that answers first wins the tour.

Your CRM today

ThrivoIQ

A new inquiry sits in a queue until the next sweep runs, somewhere between four and fifteen minutes.
First contact goes out on arrival. Email and text are in her hand inside ten seconds.
A lead score appears with no explanation, so your director learns to ignore it.
Every score stores its own arithmetic. Open it, read the four components, disagree out loud.
She decides what to do today by scrolling a board and trusting her memory.
The morning arrives ranked by expected value, with the reason attached to every line.
A tour nobody rescheduled quietly becomes a lost family three weeks later.
The no-show fires its own follow-up two hours later, from the number she already knows.
The forecast runs on an industry benchmark that has never seen your building.
The forecast runs on your rate card, your care levels and your own close rates.
The file is handed to a second system at the signature, and the sale is called done.
The signature reserves the apartment and opens the chart. The sale is done when she is living there.

ThrivoIQ moves first because the software watches the things a person cannot watch all day. It notices the tour nobody rescheduled. It notices a lead whose silence has a pattern to it. It notices a text that failed to deliver and tells you the reason was a landline rather than leaving you to guess. Your director spends her day selling, and the system carries the process the rest of the way to an occupied apartment.

Harvard Business Review, 2011

A family who waits an hour has already called somebody else.

Oldroyd, McElheran and Elkington audited 2,241 companies by sending them real web inquiries and timing the reply. What they found is the most expensive fact in your building, and almost nobody in senior living has built for it.

42hours

Average time those 2,241 firms took to answer a web inquiry.

7×

More likely to qualify a lead when contact came inside the first hour rather than an hour later.

60×

Less likely to qualify once the reply came a day or more after the inquiry.

23%

Never responded to the inquiry at all.

Source: Oldroyd, McElheran and Elkington, “The Short Life of Online Sales Leads,” Harvard Business Review, March 2011. The earlier MIT and InsideSales work put the drop from five minutes to thirty minutes at twenty-one times on qualification and a hundred times on contact.

How the rest of the category does it

Inquiry landswaits for the sweepCron runsqueuedMessage sends

A scheduled job wakes every ten or fifteen minutes and works whatever has piled up. The inquiry that arrives thirty seconds after a sweep waits for the whole next one. Nothing is broken. That is how the thing was built.

How ThrivoIQ does it

Inquiry landssame requestMessage sends

Arrival dispatch runs inside the request that receives the inquiry. There is no queue to join and no sweep to wait for, so the reply is out before the notification on your director’s phone has finished loading. Quiet hours still apply, so a text at three in the morning waits until a civilised hour while the email goes immediately.

Twenty-six days, one family

This is what moving first buys you.

Margaret Ellison inquired on a Tuesday afternoon and moved into apartment 214 twenty-six days later. Here is every point where the software touched her, and what it was doing while the community down the road was still deciding who should call her back.

2:14 PMTuesday

A score your director can argue with

Most CRMs hand her a number and expect her to trust it. ThrivoIQ stores the arithmetic behind every score, so she can see why a lead came out at 83 and say so when she believes it is wrong. Four components, priced against your own rate card. Open a row.

Leads, scored on arrival

One scoring engine runs in the demo and in production, and the breakdown is written to the lead, so the number and the reasons can never drift apart.

8:02 AMWednesday

Nobody decides where to start

The Daily Mission ranks the whole day by what each family is worth and how close they are to slipping. Critical first, then Due Today, then Recommended, with the reason written on every line. A director in her first week opens it and works like somebody who has been there a year.

Twelve rules that never forget

Tour booked. Tour tomorrow. Tour finished. Tour missed. Quiet three days, quiet seven days, opened but never answered, lost ninety days ago. Each rule sends email, text or both, from your community’s own local number, signed by the advisor whose name is on the message. Nothing depends on somebody remembering.

Consent sits per family and per channel. An opt-out on one message type stops every message type. A text that fails names its reason in plain English, such as a landline, a carrier block or a spam filter.

Day 19Deciding

A pipeline that knows what it is worth

Ten stages, and every column carrying money from your own rate card. Your care levels, your fee structure, your close rates. The weighted forecast underneath is built from what your building has actually done, and reaches for an industry figure only when you are too new to have one of your own.

Revenue at risk, days to close, close-rate trend and lead-source return all read these same rows, so the number on the dashboard and the number on the board cannot disagree with each other.

Day 26Move-in

The signature reserves the apartment

A signed lease that never moves in is not revenue, and your director knows it better than anyone. So the sale does not end at the signature here. Margaret signs, apartment 214 goes to reserved, her chart already holds everything the pipeline learned about her, and the census forecast has moved. Click a room.

Day 27Onward

Occupancy is the only scoreboard

Ninety-four residents, ninety-four occupied rooms, two reserved, one in maintenance and three available. That comes to a hundred beds and it reconciles every single day, because these are one set of rows rather than two systems somebody has to keep in step. The thirty-day forecast moves the moment a notice is logged.

After the move-in

Her daughter will lie awake wondering how the day went. You can just tell her.

Every family asks a version of the same question on the tour, and most communities answer it with a promise to call if anything happens. What she is really asking is whether she will know how her mother is on the ordinary days, the ones where nothing happens. ThrivoIQ is the only platform in this industry that answers that from inside the same system that sold her the apartment.

Tuesday singalong, front room

Yesterday, 4:40 PM

Quieter day today. Beatrice preferred to rest after lunch and had a visitor in the afternoon. Nothing we are concerned about.

01

One tap for a normal day

Good Day fills a sensible baseline and the caregiver adjusts only what was actually different. A whole hall can be logged in a few minutes, standing up, on a phone. Or she says one sentence out loud and the fields fill themselves, under a rule that forbids inventing anything she did not say and refuses to record a single clinical measurement.

02

A photograph from the hallway

She is already holding the phone. A picture from the garden or the Tuesday singalong goes to the family on the same line as the daily note, which is the message a daughter forwards to her brother and reads again on a bad day.

03

Opt-in per person, and one way

One daughter can take a note and a photo every day while her brother takes nothing, because consent sits on the contact rather than the resident. And the line only runs outward: replies reach a separate number, never the floor, and the message tells the family that instead of leaving them to work it out by being ignored.

Your sales director can promise this on the tour, which is the point. A family deciding between two communities is choosing between one that will call if something goes wrong and one that will tell them about the singalong. That is not a care feature you add after move-in. It is a reason somebody signs.

Now put your own numbers in it

What has waiting cost you, in hours?

Two numbers you already know, multiplied. No conversion rate we invented and no industry benchmark, because the arithmetic on its own is a larger number than anybody expects.

Pricing

Priced against one extra move-in a year.

One additional resident is worth roughly $66,000 a year to a community. Professional costs $11,400. A sales director who books one more tour a week will never notice the invoice.

How this was built

Built on senior living’s most advanced technology platform.

Every other CRM in this industry was architected before a family could sign a lease on a phone, and everything modern about them since has been added on top of that foundation. ThrivoIQ was built from the ground up, on the best technology available right now, with senior living executives in the room naming exactly what the software they were paying for would not do.

Built with operators, not for them

Every screen started as something a sales director said her CRM would not do, or something she had to keep in a spreadsheet beside it. The co-founder who decides what gets built has spent fifteen years running senior living communities, and still answers the phone when one of them calls.

No legacy core to work around

Nothing here is a modern feature grafted onto a system architected before smartphones. Scoring, automation and the resident side are the architecture, not additions bolted to the side of it. That is why the first reply can send inside the request that receives the inquiry, which is not a setting anybody can switch on in an older product.

AI that guides the decision, on your own numbers

Ask the dashboard a question in plain English and it answers from your rows rather than from the internet. It writes the morning briefing, drafts the follow-up, maps your spreadsheet on import, reads a care note dictated in a hallway and tells you what a trend actually means. It reaches a fixed set of read-only functions, fenced to your community and to your own access, and when nothing in your data answers the question it says so instead of inventing something.

Questions operators ask

Straight answers.

How fast does ThrivoIQ respond to a new lead?

Within seconds. A rule set to fire on arrival sends its first email and text the moment the inquiry lands, instead of waiting for a scheduled sweep. Most senior living CRMs poll on a timer measured in minutes, and those minutes are exactly when a family calls the next community on her list.

How is this different from Sherpa, Aline or WelcomeHome?

Those are capable sales CRMs, and they are all built on the same assumption: a person acts, and the software records it. ThrivoIQ inverts that. It makes first contact on arrival rather than on a sweep, ranks the day before anyone opens it, and notices the tour that was never rescheduled and the lead whose silence has a pattern to it. It also does not hand the family off at the signature, because a signed lease that never moves in is not revenue.

We get most of our leads from A Place for Mom and Caring.com. Does that work?

That is the normal case and the product is built for it. Every source lands in the same pipeline and is worked by the same rules, whether it came from a marketplace, your own website, a walk-in, a physician or the phone. What changes is that you finally see what each source returns against what it costs you, so you can spend into the channels that convert for your building rather than the ones that send the most volume.

Can I see how a lead score was calculated?

Yes, and that is deliberate. Every score from 0 to 100 stores its own breakdown across urgency, budget, contact quality and source, and the record shows the arithmetic. You can read the model and argue with it. That matters the first time a director looks at a score and says it is wrong, because she is sometimes right and the software should be able to show its working.

What actually makes this more advanced than the CRM we have now?

Four things you can check on a demo rather than take on faith. The first reply sends inside the request that receives the inquiry, so a family hears back in seconds rather than on the next sweep. Every lead score stores its own arithmetic on the lead, so a director can open it and disagree with it. The pipeline and the resident record are the same rows, so a signature reserves an apartment instead of starting an export. And access is granted across thirteen capability areas with view and edit separate, rather than five fixed roles. Ask any competitor to show you the first one live.

How was ThrivoIQ built, and by whom?

From the ground up, by two people who split the work down the middle. Robert Sanderson has spent fifteen years operating senior living communities across five organizations and decides what the product does, because he has needed it to do it. Michael Tatz builds the systems. Neither of us started from a general sales CRM and renamed the fields, and neither of us inherited a codebase written before a family could sign a lease on a phone, which is the single biggest reason this behaves differently from everything else you have been shown. Commercially it is month to month with no exit fee and a full export of your data on request, because software this specific should have to earn the renewal.

What happens to our data, and who inside our team can see what?

Every read and write is fenced to your community by the database itself rather than by application code, so a bug in a screen cannot reach across buildings. Access is granted by capability across thirteen areas with view and edit separate, which means a caregiver can log care without ever seeing your pipeline, your rates or a family's financials. Data is encrypted at rest, and a full export is yours on request.

How hard is it to switch from what we use now?

Most communities are working leads within the same week. A guided import wizard reads a spreadsheet export from your current system, detects the columns, handles duplicates, and brings prospects and residents in together. Imported families are held back from automated sending until they show real movement, so switching never mass-mails your backlog on day one.

Does it work on a phone?

It is built mobile first, down to a 48 pixel minimum touch target, because a sales director is standing in a hallway and a caregiver is on a floor. Every screen a community needs during the day works as fully from a phone as it does from a desk.

What about text messaging compliance?

Consent is recorded per family and per channel. An opt-out reaches every message type from that sender. Quiet hours are enforced in the community's own timezone, and delivery failures report their real cause. We built this into the product rather than writing it into the terms, because the people being contacted in this industry are often over sixty, and several states price that specifically.
