Case Study: Carefree connects 45,000 unpaid carers with Glide apps

Carefree connects 45,000 carers with Glide apps

Carefree, a UK-based charity, connects unpaid carers with breaks in empty hotel rooms. Their challenge was creating a complex, secure software system to manage logistics with community partners and legacy hotel software, all with a limited budget as a non-profit. They turned to Glide to build affordable apps without custom coding.

Using Glide, Carefree built a suite of interconnected apps, including a mobile app for carers and a portal for hotel partners. The Glide apps handle verification, real-time integration with 200 different hotel systems, and booking. This solution helped Carefree serve 45,000 carers a month, achieve 75% cost savings compared to traditional development, and scale their operations significantly.
