German senior care operations demo built on Open Mercato, showing how reusable platform foundations can power dashboards, scheduling, service confirmations, shift validation, and signed workflows.
Senior Care Operations on Open Mercato is a demo application for German non-medical senior care providers. It shows how Open Mercato can become the foundation for a vertical operations system covering clients, teams, caregivers, care orders, schedules, and service confirmations.
What it does
The demo adds a manager dashboard with active clients, active care orders, today’s visits, and a weekly care schedule. It also includes care order management, scheduling, and a service confirmations workflow with draft, pending signature, disputed, signed, and validated states. Managers can coordinate visits such as mobility support, medication assistance, full body care, morning hygiene assistance, and companionship visits from one operational surface.
Why it matters
German senior care operators work with large distributed teams, many part-time caregivers, thousands of patients, and multiple regional branches. Their workflows are also regulated, especially when services are financed through Krankenkasse processes. Spreadsheets break when schedules change, branches grow, or service confirmations must be checked later. Existing tools often add high licence costs, high total cost of ownership, and rigid interfaces. This demo shows a more flexible path: a tailored operations system without rebuilding the foundation from zero.
Built on Open Mercato
Open Mercato provided the AI-Engineering Foundation Framework: authentication, UI structure, navigation, data layer, events, search, and scheduling primitives. Our team built the senior-care layer on top: care orders, manager dashboards, weekly schedules, service confirmation states, shift validation, and signed confirmation workflows. In the hackathon build, roughly 97% of the product foundation was reusable Open Mercato core, while around 3% was custom senior-care logic. That meant the team could focus on the care domain instead of rebuilding platform plumbing.
Open source, full control, zero vendor lock-in.
