Technology built for the realities of the WIC program today, and the possibilities of tomorrow.

The stars aligned to create Ursa. Our seasoned software engineers connected industry best practices with real-world experience from WIC program staff at every level to forge a meaningful solution. Our MIS is designed to solve those everyday challenges teams face, while nurturing long-term program evolution. Ursa isn’t just another pretty user-interface; it’s a foundation for the next generation of WIC program delivery.

Supporting families is in our nature.

The WIC ecosystem is powered by and for people – local clinic staff supporting families in their communities, state program leaders shaping operations, and WIC policymakers working toward stronger outcomes nationwide. Technology should strengthen these connections, not complicate them.

Ursa serves as a guide to overcome the mountains of administrative burden to improve visibility across the landscape of program operations. Thoughtful, user-centered design delivers a consistent, connected experience across core features and every module. That’s less time spent navigating frustrating manual tasks in outdated systems and more time focusing on the big picture – participant experience and overall program success.

Driving Program Improvement At All Levels

Program leaders gain data-driven insights to drive strategic improvements, state agencies can adapt more effectively to evolving policies or participant needs, and streamlined processes empower local clinic staff to deliver frontline services.

Technology Designed For The Everyday User:

By removing legacy system barriers and prioritizing communication, Ursa offers a more approachable and connected experience for staff, vendors, and participants. State and local teams experience intuitive access to all the tools they need for program management.

Flexibility Where It Counts

Ursa is designed to evolve with your program - supporting technology upgrades, policy changes, and compliance updates across the system. Agencies can confidently adjust both high-level operations and day-to-day processes while maintaining federal compliance and statewide consistency.
