SRI Management is a senior living management company based in Tallahassee, Florida with a network of over 40 senior living communities. SRI Management faced a familiar challenge: labor inefficiencies were eating into their bottom line. Directors were spending countless hours manually managing schedules, leading to burnout, high turnover, and budget overruns. Local communities consistently exceeded their staffing budgets, creating a strain on operations.
