More margin. More growth. Less overhead.

GKIM builds the AI-native operating system that runs homecare coordination, so you can take on more clients and keep more of what you earn.

Built to work with the wider care system, from individual agencies to the NHS and local authorities.

Industry outlook

Why Homecare Needs
a New Operating System

Demand is climbing fast, and the workforce can't keep up, especially now the overseas recruitment route has closed. Meanwhile margins are among the thinnest of any industry.

A large share of that budget goes to coordination, not care. The good news is it's recoverable. AI changes what's possible for the first time. Coordination that used to require armies of staff can now be handled by systems, which resets the cost base the whole industry runs on.

About this Foundry

The Home Care Foundry

The Home Care Foundry is GKIM's mission to bring AI-native operations to the entire homecare industry. We work with operators and key stakeholders to drive transformational change in how care is run, and to turn that transformation into real commercial benefit for the businesses delivering it.

GKIM builds the AI-native operating system for homecare. You bring the licensed, staffed, running business. We take out the coordination cost that's eating your margin — and we're paid from the savings we create, so we only win when you do.

Benefits

What this means for your business

Protect your margin — a ring chart with one portion set aside
Protect your margin

Coordination cost comes straight out of a margin that's already thin. Take it out, and that money goes back into the business.

Grow without growing your back office — a bar chart trending up
Grow without growing your back office

Take on more clients without hiring more coordinators. The system carries the load that used to break at scale.

Keep your carers longer — hands holding a heart with a care cross
Keep your carers longer

Stable, predictable schedules mean less churn. When the rota stops changing every week, good carers stay.

Current initiatives

Inside The AI-Native Operating System

Here's a look at how it works, and what you can see for yourself today.

It fills the gap

A carer calls in sick. The rota re-solves itself.

It finds who's free, who's closest, and who the client already knows, and rebuilds the schedule before anyone picks up the phone.

No coordinator needed
A carer greets a client at the door while a "Cover found" notification shows James off sick, reassigned to Maria — 4 minutes away, known to the client, rota updated.

It knows who should go

And it tells you why.

"Assigned Maria: 4 minutes away, has cared for this client before, and speaks the family's language." Every decision comes with its reasoning.

A judgment call, made in a second
A matching screen showing three carers considered for Mrs Doyle's 2pm visit, with Maria highlighted as best match — 4 minutes away, has cared for this client before, speaks the family's language — and assigned in 0.8 seconds.

It answers the family

So the office phone stays quiet.

Families ask how their mum's doing, or what a new diagnosis means, and get a clear, informed answer, drawn from the actual care record.

This used to be three phone calls
A daughter's message asking how her mum's day went, answered instantly with a care update: she had a good day, ate a full lunch, and her next visit is tomorrow at 10am.
