Florence x Lottie partnership. Florence and Lottie join forces to help care providers do more with their workforce We're thrilled to announce a new partnership between Florence and Lottie - two of the most trusted names in social care technology, coming together to make life easier for care providers across the UK. At Florence, we've always believed that great care starts with a well-supported team. Lottie shares that mission from a different angle, helping care providers fill their homes and run their operations smarter through Found, its AI-native CRM, occupancy and billing platform. Bring the two together and you get a joined-up view that connects the residents you care for with the workforce who care for them. Here's what this partnership means for you. An exclusive 15% discount, both ways. We want every customer on both sides to feel the benefit straight away. If you're a Lottie customer, you'll get 15% off when you sign up to Florence's rostering, HR and learning platforms - the tools that help you build rotas in minutes, manage your people, and keep your team compliant. And if you're already part of the Florence family, you'll get 15% off Found by Lottie, the UK's leading revenue management software helping more than 2,000 care services power their full customer lifecycle - from first enquiry and marketing through to occupancy and resident billing. A partnered approach across our teams. Our teams are working closely together to bring you joint events, shared expertise and new ways for our communities to connect. That means opportunities to meet other providers, swap ideas, and learn from people solving the same challenges you face every day. When the best minds in care come together, everyone raises their game. We can't wait to get these conversations started. Smarter integrations are on the way. The most exciting part is what's coming next. We're building integrations between the Florence and Lottie platforms that will give you a clearer, connected picture of your operation helping you plan and control your workforce costs based on the real, changing needs of your residents. This is just the beginning. We started this partnership with one goal: to make running a care service a little bit easier, and to help you spend more time on what matters most; delivering brilliant care. This is the first step of many, and we're genuinely excited to build it alongside you. Want to take advantage of your discount or hear more? Get in touch with Florence today
