PORTLAND, Ore. - s4story -- Portland, OR & Atlanta, GA — Incite Strategic Partners and SnapCare today announced that Incite Workforce Solutions powered by SnapCare (IWS) received two honors at the 2026 McKnight's Excellence in Technology Awards: Gold in Staff Scheduling and Management and Silver in KISS (Keep It Super Simple). The Gold marks IWS's second consecutive win in the category, following its 2025 recognition.

Both honors build on IWS's partnership with Marquis Companies, which implemented a more centralized workforce operating model across its Oregon facilities. Results included:

• 45% fewer employee callouts
• 39% reduction in contract labor headcount
• 32% less scheduler administrative time
• 5% higher shift fill rate
• 3–4 pt drop in RN, LPN and CNA turnover
• 50% fewer regulatory fines
• $868,000+ in annualized workforce savings
• ~$724,000 in additional annual revenue per facility

The KISS award recognizes technology that reduces, rather than adds to complexity, bringing workforce activity, staffing visibility and key operational data into one centralized experience.

"IWS was built around a simple idea: give senior care organizations greater visibility and control over their workforce so they can make better decisions for their teams and residents," said Jeff Grant, CEO of SnapCare. "Marquis has been an exceptional partner in showing what that can look like."

"The most meaningful innovation happens when technology is grounded in the realities providers face every day," said Michael Dragone, CEO of Incite Strategic Partners. "That partnership is what makes IWS different."
