Empowering Caregiver Registries for Greater Compliance & Growth with AllyMS

In today’s fast-changing home care environment, agencies face mounting worker classification risks and ever-tighter DOL audits. AllyMS tackles these challenges head-on with a unified platform for scheduling, electronic visit verification (EVV), payment processing, and more—ensuring that caregiver registries remain secure, compliant, and poised for growth. Developed in partnership with Chop Dawg, AllyMS helps leaders focus on what truly matters: supporting caregivers and seniors while confidently navigating complex regulations.

A Complete Caregiver Registry Solution: Introduction to AllyMS

Even as laws around caregiver registries tighten, most agencies still rely on fragmented systems for scheduling, EVV, and payment tracking—leading to data chaos and potential compliance gaps. AllyMS addresses these hurdles with a robust, all-in-one digital platform that connects registries, caregivers, and families in one seamless ecosystem. From real-time schedule updates to comprehensive EVV checks and automated payments, it simplifies everyday tasks and ensures that all records remain transparent and audit-ready.

AllyMS’s mobile app likewise caters to the varied needs of office managers, caregivers, and clients. Scheduling shifts, verifying visits, and processing transactions all become a matter of tapping a few buttons—substantially reducing administrative strain. By partnering with Chop Dawg, AllyMS transformed from a manual, error-prone workflow into a future-focused solution designed for today’s regulatory demands.

Breaking Barriers to Impact: Compliance and Operational Efficiency

Caregiver registries must contend with two formidable obstacles: tighter oversight from agencies like the Department of Labor and the inefficiency of outdated technology. This combination can leave registries exposed to worker misclassification issues and reliant on cumbersome processes that eat up time. AllyMS set out to unify scheduling, EVV, and payment processing under one umbrella—eliminating blind spots and providing a single source of truth for everything from timesheets to payments.

The result was a new layer of accountability and automation. Registries no longer scramble to verify timesheets or worry about filing errors. Thanks to this coherent approach, AllyMS gives administrators, caregivers, and clients the confidence that each shift is logged accurately, each payment is handled with 1099 compliance, and each record is ready for a DOL audit when needed.

How We Worked Together

Building a Compliant All-In-One Registry Platform

Chop Dawg collaborated with AllyMS to build a truly end-to-end system for caregiver registries. From the early planning stages, we identified essential workflows—like setting up caregiver shifts, verifying hours via EVV, and depositing payments. Through weekly Zoom sessions, Slack channels, and design reviews in Figma, we shaped every detail, ensuring the user experience stayed both intuitive and regulation-ready.

At the core was a robust user role framework, separating features among office managers, clients, and caregivers. Prototypes for real-time EVV, compliance alerts, and shift editing were tested and refined to guarantee a frictionless in-app flow. Throughout development sprints, Chop Dawg maintained HIPAA-friendly protocols so sensitive data stayed secure. This synergy yielded a forward-facing registry platform, balancing compliance requirements with the seamless functionality today’s agencies demand.

Delivering Registry-Centric Innovation Through a Next-Gen Mobile App

From integrated EVV tracking to automated deposits and a family-friendly portal, AllyMS unifies all key tasks for caregiver registries—making daily operations easier while cutting down on compliance headaches:

Office managers create care plans, schedule recurring shifts, and let caregivers clock in/out using geolocation. A built-in timecard editor simplifies corrections, while EVV verification prevents fraud.

Automatic Payment Processing & Caregiver Payouts

Caregivers and registries benefit from a direct deposit model orchestrated by AllyMS, preserving strict 1099 compliance and lowering DOL audit risks.
