Automate associate pay. Eliminate spreadsheet risk. Scale with confidence.
Samera AI pulls production data from your PMS, applies your pay rules automatically, reconciles deductions, and posts journals to your accounting system. Every month. Every associate. Every time.
The Problem in Detail
Why spreadsheets are costing you more than you think
Every month, dental groups across the UK spend between 4 and 20 hours manually calculating associate pay. The process involves exporting data from practice management systems, cross-referencing lab invoices, applying card fee deductions, and reconciling everything into a spreadsheet that nobody else can understand.
The real cost is not the time. It is the errors, the disputes, the retention risk, and the inability to scale without adding headcount to your finance team.
