Situation
A major insurance carrier was struggling with manual claims processing that took 5-7 days average, high error rates (15-20%), and customer dissatisfaction. The organization needed to scale operations without increasing headcount while improving accuracy and speed. Legacy systems and fragmented workflows created bottlenecks.
Action
We redesigned the entire claims workflow with intelligent automation, integrated AI decision-making, and streamlined business processes. The solution automated document processing, risk assessment, and approval workflows while maintaining human oversight for high-value claims. We modernized data integration and built real-time monitoring dashboards.
Result
60% reduction in processing time (from 5-7 days to 2-3 days average), 40% improvement in accuracy (from 80% to 96%), and 35% increase in customer satisfaction. The system now processes 50,000+ claims monthly with 99.2% uptime. The organization reduced operational costs by $2.1M annually while improving service quality.
Key Metrics:
401(k) & Retirement Workflow Automation
Situation
A leading bank faced severe bottlenecks in 401(k) and retirement plan administration. Manual processing of enrollments, contributions, and distributions took 3-5 days, creating customer frustration and operational inefficiencies. High error rates (12-18%) required rework and increased compliance risk. The bank needed to modernize legacy systems and automate workflows.
Action
We redesigned the entire retirement services workflow with intelligent automation, integrated AI decision-making, and modernized data systems. The solution automated enrollment processing, contribution calculations, and distribution workflows while maintaining compliance guardrails. We integrated with existing core banking systems and built real-time dashboards.
Result
70% reduction in processing time (from 3-5 days to 1-1.5 days), 50% improvement in accuracy (from 82% to 96%), and 40% increase in customer satisfaction. The system now processes 30,000+ transactions monthly with 98% accuracy. The bank reduced operational costs by $1.8M annually while improving service quality and compliance.
Key Metrics:
Healthcare Analytics & Operations Automation
Situation
A large healthcare system struggled with delayed decision-making, fragmented data across multiple EMR systems, and high administrative burden. Physicians spent significant time on administrative tasks instead of patient care. The organization needed to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance patient outcomes.
Action
We redesigned clinical and administrative workflows with intelligent automation, integrated analytics, and modernized data systems. The solution automated documentation, scheduling, and reporting while providing real-time insights for clinical decision-making. We integrated with existing EMR systems and ensured HIPAA compliance throughout.
Result
40% reduction in administrative time, 25% reduction in readmission rates (from 12% to 9%), and 0.8 days reduction in average length of stay. The system now supports 500+ physicians across 15 facilities. Reduced operational costs by $3.2M annually while improving patient outcomes and physician satisfaction by 42%.
