CASE STUDY — Airix · Direct-booking Marketplace

Facilities and healthcare workers booking directly, and fifteen hours of manual payroll gone every week.

A Canadian healthcare staffing operator built a direct-booking marketplace where facilities find and book workers themselves. Payments run on rails, and the manual payroll cycle that consumed fifteen hours a week disappeared entirely.

STARTING POINT
Traditional staffing was becoming the most expensive way to fill a shift.

Agency markups, slow coordination and limited visibility for facilities into who was actually available. Airix saw the model breaking. Facilities wanted to book directly, and workers wanted to be paid on time without an intermediary taking both a cut and a week.

Starting Point

Facilities relied on agencies, which added markup and slowed coordination. Workers waited through manual payment cycles, and availability was never clear to either side.

WHAT WE BUILT
A direct-booking platform built to take the agency out of the middle, not the structure out of the process.

Facility-side booking, a worker mobile app and an automated payments rail. The agency middleman is replaced by a platform that handles credentials, payments and dispute resolution, so the facility and worker connection itself can be direct.

RESULTS & IMPACT
Fifteen hours a week gone, and a model that scales without proportional headcount.

Those fifteen hours are not finance hours. They are the difference between a staffing operation that scales linearly and one that does not. Manual payroll is the canonical bottleneck: every new worker and every new shift means more transfers and more reconciliation.

""The automated payments alone saved us 15 hours a week. Workers get paid on time, every time." Sami Soltan Chief Executive Officer, Airix"

You are a strong fit if
  • You are building a direct-booking healthcare platform
  • Payroll is highly manual and time-consuming
  • You want to replace traditional agencies rather than upgrade them

We are not the right fit if
  • Your revenue relies on agency markup
  • You operate a traditional agency model
  • You would prefer a white-label product to licence
  • Lowest-cost build is the priority
