Around 40,000 older New Zealanders live in aged residential care, supported by nurses and care teams around the clock. The Aged Care Association NZ (ACA) is the peak body for that sector, representing about 93% of the beds in the country's aged residential care homes. Eversource has joined ACA, and we are glad to stand alongside the providers doing this work.
Aged residential care runs on tight margins and tighter time. Every dollar spent on food, clinical supplies, cleaning, uniforms and maintenance has to be accounted for, often across multiple sites and multiple suppliers. The admin of ordering, approving and matching invoices pulls skilled people away from residents.
That is where a centralised eProcurement Marketplace earns its place. Eversource connects each site to your chosen suppliers across every category, in one platform configured to how your organisation actually works. Your suppliers. Your way. Amplified by AI.
For aged care providers the value is practical. Gain visibility: head office sees spend across every facility, down to product level, with no more unknown spend or missing invoices. Buy better: consistent suppliers and real-time price comparisons deliver significant savings through supplier product selection, money that can go back into care. Reduce admin: automated approval workflows and 100% invoice processing with automated processing, freeing your team up for more value add work.
Compliance matters in this sector more than most, and Eversource is built for it. You control who can buy what, from which approved suppliers, with a clear audit trail behind every order.
The people in your care come first. Procurement should quietly support that, not get in the way. We joined ACA because the sector deserves tools built around its reality, and we would welcome the chance to show what that looks like for your organisation.
