Founded by former care worker Tsitsi Mtasa, Manchester-based Wisterias has developed a digital care management platform designed specifically for smaller providers, combining scheduling, compliance, invoicing and care planning in one intuitive system.

With £87,000 in funding and tailored support from Greater Manchester’s innovation ecosystem, the start-up has gone from concept to market-ready product in under two years – already creating two new jobs and forecasting turnover growth from £58,000 to £1 million by 2028.

Built from the ground up by people who’ve worked in the industry, the cloud-based platform aims to provide an affordable way for care workers to access real-time updates even in low-connectivity environments. It offers a number of cutting-edge features, such as automated compliance tracking and offline functionality, to streamline workflows and reduce paperwork.
