ADP runs payroll. Untether runs the clinical schedule.
ADP is horizontal payroll and HR. Untether is healthcare-specific AI workforce management for the licenses, credentials, and patient demand ADP wasn't built to handle.
ADP is one of the largest horizontal payroll and HR providers in the world. Its workforce management covers time, attendance, and shift scheduling for general hourly workforces across every industry.
Horizontal and payroll-first
ADP excels at payroll, tax, and HR administration. Its scheduling is built for general shift work — not license- and credential-aware clinical scheduling, on-call coverage, or patient-demand forecasting.
Healthcare-specific by design
Untether models the clinical workforce natively: licenses, credentials, skills, and regions across FTE, part-time, contractor, and agency staff — with AI auto-scheduling to patient SLAs.
Works with your payroll
Untether runs scheduling and operations and submits to payroll, integrating with ADP and other systems rather than replacing your system of record.
Pick the workforce management software that fits how your care team works.
