Question 1

What is tecbu?

Accepted Answer

tecbu is an automated shift callout and coverage system for home care agencies. When a caregiver can't make their shift, tecbu instantly notifies qualified replacements via SMS and assigns the shift to the first one who accepts.

Question 2

Do my caregivers need to download an app?

Accepted Answer

No. tecbu works entirely via SMS. Caregivers receive a text message, reply YES to claim a shift, and get confirmation. No app, no login, no training.

Question 3

How is this different from Clipboard Health or ShiftKey?

Accepted Answer

Those platforms supply external gig workers to facilities. tecbu fills shifts from your own staff — your caregivers, your clients, your control. No worker classification risk, no markup on labor.

Question 4

Is tecbu HIPAA compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. tecbu uses two-stage information disclosure. Before a caregiver claims a shift, they only see the date, time, and general area. Full client details are shared only after confirmation.

Question 5

How fast can a shift get filled?

Accepted Answer

Shifts can be filled in minutes. SMS has a 98% open rate and caregivers can respond instantly from any phone.

Question 9

What size agency is tecbu for?

Accepted Answer

tecbu is built for small-to-mid-size home care agencies with 10 to 500 caregivers. If you're currently using a phone tree or group text to fill callouts, tecbu is a direct upgrade.
