Case study 1:

This client was struggling with the quality of customer support they were providing with their offshore team. We helped develop a customized application that allowed this company to better serve their customers.

The challenge

A 200+ employee medical billing company outsourced its services to India but was unhappy with the quality of support they were receiving. The company faced several issues due to the lack of attention to detail, unavailability of support, and a clear chain of command. The absence of a hierarchical system made it difficult for the company to seek support and guidance whenever required. They faced problems with one of their processes, and their service provider could only suggest simplification. This made it clear that the company required a more effective and engaged partner.

Case study 3:

This client required round-the-clock medical monitoring for their nursing home residents but their current staffing model wasn't able to support the level of care that was required. We worked with them to create a new staffing model, which better allowed for 24/7 monitoring.

The challenge

An innovative NP Services company had launched an exciting new product and service for nursing homes that required round-the-clock monitoring of resident vitals. However, with no historical data available to forecast volume trends or patterns, the company was apprehensive about making a large investment in the pilot, given the uncertain future and viability of the service. The staffing and schedule needed to be flexible to accommodate any changes that surfaced.
