88 percent of fortune 500 companies from 1955 are now gone, according to the American Enterprise Institute.

The lesson? Companies that win long-term prioritize creative disruption, innovation, and future needs.

Blockbuster could have bought Netflix for $50 million, but the CEO thought Netflix was a joke and would never make money.

Kodak failed to see digital photography as disruptive technology, telling the creator of the first digital camera, “that’s cute – but don’t show anybody.”

MySpace failed to help people connect and provide a user experience like Facebook, and as a result, they were left behind.

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein.

It’s easy to take these case studies and scoff at their decisions, but if we’re honest, we make the same mistakes in senior living.

  • Do you need your CRM and a whiteboard to see your occupancy board?
  • Does your sales team need to print out their notes to work from mobile?
  • Does it take 20 + software systems to run your senior living community?

Don’t get left behind using technology that can’t keep up with your needs.

Staffing and occupancy are our industry’s biggest problems, but today’s technology doesn’t provide a unified platform to manage the lead and applicant journey at our senior living communities.

VIA is one platform to manage the lead and applicant journey. Leads and applicants take a similar path from first move-ins to hire. Your software should too.
