Rippling runs your back office. Untether runs your clinical workforce.
Rippling is a modern horizontal HR, IT, and payroll platform. Untether is healthcare-specific AI scheduling for the clinical complexity Rippling doesn't model.
Rippling is a modern, fast-growing platform that unifies HR, payroll, IT, and spend management. Its workforce management includes a drag-and-drop scheduler, time and attendance, and strong compliance automation across 600+ integrations.
Excellent and horizontal
Rippling is genuinely good software, but it's built for general businesses. It has no clinical license- or credential-aware scheduling, on-call logic, or patient-demand forecasting.
Healthcare-specific AI
Untether models the clinical workforce natively and uses AI to auto-build schedules to patient SLAs and provider preferences — then executes time off, on-call, and reporting end to end.
Keep Rippling, add clinical depth
Untether integrates with your HRIS and payroll, so you can keep horizontal tools and add the clinical scheduling layer they don't provide.
Pick the workforce management software that fits how your care team works.
