The Problem: Data Silos Multiply With Every New Location
A single-site ABA clinic can get away with CentralReach, paper data sheets, or even Google Sheets for behavior tracking. Open location two and location three, and the cracks appear: RBTs at the home-based site collect data offline with no sync path, BCBAs cannot see goal progress across sites without manual spreadsheet consolidation, and billing teams reconcile session data between locations by hand every week.
Multi-location ABA groups searching for an ABA data collection system for multiple locations face a specific set of failures:
- Delayed supervision: BCBA dashboards show yesterday's data — or data from only one site
- Offline gaps: Home and school sessions happen without WiFi; RBTs delay documentation until end of day
- Inconsistent standards: Each location uses different data collection templates and note formats
- Billing errors: Session data disconnected from authorization tracking creates claim denials
- Per-seat cost explosion: CentralReach licensing scales linearly with every RBT hire at every site
