Internal Messaging That Keeps Office and Carers in Sync
Secure two-way messaging between the office and carers, group chats, broadcasts and attachments — with push notifications and read receipts, so important messages actually land.
Get everyone off WhatsApp and into a system you control
Care teams live on their phones, but personal WhatsApp groups mix work with private life, leak sensitive information and leave the agency with no oversight. Carionex gives you secure, built-in messaging between the office and carers, inside the same app they already use.
Send one-to-one messages, create group chats, broadcast to the whole team, and share attachments — all with push notifications and read receipts so you know important messages have landed. It's professional, private and fully under your control.
The problems this solves
- Sensitive care information shared on personal WhatsApp
- No oversight or record of team communication
- Important messages missed or unread
- Mixing carers' work and personal lives
