💬 What corporate groups say
"Airlocum has genuinely changed the game for us at Banning Dental Group. It's made the process seamless for our teams and the group-level oversight is excellent — we can see exactly where the usage has been, who's covered the shifts, and the spend. We only use Airlocum now."
Suzie Lovick, Operations Manager, Banning Dental Group
🧾 Why invoicing? Invoicing is the recommended payment method for corporate dental groups and multi-site practices. It allows your finance team to process payments through your existing accounts payable workflow, with 14-day payment terms and a formal invoice issued after each completed shift. Need card payment instead? You can add a card at any time from your account settings. |
What Happens Next?
Once registered, here's what you can do immediately:
• Search for locums — filter by role, date, location, skills, and price to find the right match for your shift.
• Send a booking request — use Quick Book for urgent cover, or Search Locums to browse and select.
• Track responses in real time — the Booking Request Tracker shows live updates as locums view and accept your request.
• Build your Favourites list — save your preferred locums for faster, more consistent cover.
• Add more practice locations — manage multiple sites under one login from the Account Switcher in your dashboard.
Corporate Features Available After Registration
Once your account is set up, the Airlocum support team can activate corporate tools for your group. These include:
Corporate Reporting Dashboard — track locum usage, costs, and performance across all practice locations from a single view. Filter by date range, sort by spend or days booked, and export reports as Excel spreadsheets.
Group-wide Rate Controls — set maximum hourly rates for each locum type (nurse, hygienist, therapist, dentist) across all practices. Search results are automatically filtered so practice managers only see locums within the approved rate range.
Shared Corporate Blocklist — when 2 or more practices in your group block the same locum, that locum is automatically blocked group-wide. Individual practice blocks remain practice-specific until the threshold is reached.
Group Favourites Sharing — practices can view which locums have been favourited by other locations in the group, making it easier to rebook high-performing locums across sites.
Multi-site Management — manage all locations under one login with instant switching between sites. Each location maintains its own bookings, Favourites list, and locum ratings independently.
