Admin Centre governs. Shared Services power. Applications execute. Command Core orchestrates.
Four layers, in that exact order. Buy one app and you only ever touch two of them; run several and the rest do the joining-up for you.
What each layer is responsible for.
Admin Centre
The single control plane for identity, licensing, tenants and access. Nothing is provisioned outside it.
- One Nightingale identity per person, across every application
- Licences granted, moved and revoked centrally
- Organisation, sites and teams defined once
- Central billing and a single audit trail
Applications
17 live applications, each complete on its own. Buy one, use one — nothing else is required and nothing else is charged.
- Every app runs standalone with its own free tier
- No app depends on another app to function
- Each app has its own subdomain and its own data model
- Add or remove apps without touching the rest
Shared Services
Capabilities built once and made available to every application: GaleAI, notifications, documents, audit and reporting.
- GaleAI — embedded opt-in AI in every application
- Shared notifications, email and document handling
- Shared audit logging and evidence storage
- One reporting engine, consistent everywhere
Command Core
The optional cross-app layer at core.nightingalesoftware.co.uk. One dashboard, joined-up reporting and workflows that span applications.
- One dashboard across every app you run
- Cross-application reporting and alerting
- Workflows that hand off between applications
- Optional — it only appears when you run more than one app
Three steps. No rip-and-replace.
Pick any apps
Start with one, add later. Every application stands completely on its own and has its own free tier.
Admin Centre does the rest
Identity, licensing and access are handled automatically the moment you buy — no second admin system to run.
Optional: Command Core
Run more than one app and core.nightingalesoftware.co.uk gives you one dashboard across all of them.
What happens when you run more than one app.
Every Nightingale application runs on its own — buy one, use one. Command Core is the layer that gives you the same people, the same structure, the same permissions and one invoice across the whole estate.
A single Nightingale identity across every application.
Sites, teams and departments defined once.
Add a person once and grant them the apps they need.
One permission model applied consistently everywhere.
One account, one invoice, one renewal date.
Turn applications on or off as the business changes.
A single audit trail spanning every connected product.
Operational data joined up across applications.
Command Core is not a prerequisite.
You never have to buy the platform to buy a product.
Buy the application that solves today's problem. Nothing else is required and nothing else is charged.
The second product inherits your organisation, sites, people and permissions — no re-keying, no second admin system.
The more Nightingale products you run, the more value Command Core creates: one login, one bill, one audit trail, joined-up reporting.
