Social Care is on the brink of a digital revolution. We believe that’s because there’s a growing cohort of professionals across the sector with almost insatiable appetites for transformation.
So we created Trailblazers to celebrate some of those leaders and showcase the ways they are bringing fresh thinking and innovation to how care services are delivered and care providers are run.

We know that pricing is a crucial part of your evaluation process.
Because the needs of every Sona customer are unique, our pricing is customised to match.
(That’s also why we don’t list prices here).
Our team will be happy to discuss your requirements and prepare a proposal for you. We just need a few details to ensure we give you the most accurate information possible.

We offer a range of subscription types, so you only ever pay for the features you need. Browse our full range of features here.
The ongoing support you and your teams need to be successful with Sona is included in the licence fee.
We invest significant time to ensure our customers get the training, implementation support and reporting they need to be successful. So right now that means Sona is only available to larger teams of 100+ staff.
However, we plan on making a small business version available in future. Please do stay in touch - you can subscribe to our newsletter here.
There’s already loads of great software available for desk-based teams. We’re focused on building amazing features for frontline organisations in industries such as health and social care, hospitality and retail.
We can still help!
It’s great that you've already invested time into a system to help schedule your teams. However, that’s often the case for our new customers.
So even if you’re not looking for a change right now, we offer much more than rostering. Our employee app, wellbeing and time & attendance modules, plus our agency management platform can all integrate with your existing system(s) - please get in touch if you’d like to learn more.
The team at Sona were very helpful and incredibly accommodating to all our requirements, ensuring that we could roll out very quickly and with minimal effort needed on our part.
The system is very well used and is now in all our homes with great results, with not just financial benefits seen but colleague morale having increased as they can easily see their rotas and also pick up extra shifts as they want to.
