Cybage Software
Cybage Software revealed how it redefined utilisation management through strategic modernisation for a premier post-acute home-based care services company. The firm faced some critical limitations and performance issues related to server capacity, stability, downtimes, and outdated UI. They wanted to use the legacy platform and migrating to a more sophisticated cloud-based platform.
To solve these challenges, the UI/UX team developed and implemented a user-friendly new-gen interface with an intuitive design. The team also enhanced the workflow design to improve patient medical record navigation. And the intake and insurance eligibility check process.
Implementing Inrule as the key decision engine helped them automate critical business rules and processes. Finally, several useful integrations were built to streamline insurance eligibility verification with Axiom, claims processing with Plexis, letter generation with Forge and Evolve, and syncing national provider data with NPPES.
Working with a leading distribution and logistics provider in the Middle East, Cybage builds integrations between Infios and SAP ERP. The team implemented integrations to track and maintain temperature values in the WMS system for chilled/frozen SKUs to help control inventory. It also built custom features to assist business processes in the WMS and make future versions of WMS scalable.
So far, the client has had a 230% increase in throughput after Infios implementations. It has also boosted the client’s invoice accuracy by 100% and invoice processing speed by 2X.
