Case Studies / TAP Solutions

TAP Time and Data Automation

August 12, 2019

TAP Time and Data Automation automates employee overtime calculation and management for a multi-location restaurant business. This Solution streamlines data management and integrates business systems for accurate and timely paychecks.

Banking Process Automation (BPA)

August 12, 2019

A 42-branch banking organization eliminated the need for spreadsheets in their customer onboarding and account management workflows through TAP system integration and Banking Process Automation (BPA) solution. Customer onboarding no longer takes an employee 20 minutes to complete thanks to TAP solutions!

Insurance Verification Process Automation (IVPA)

February 22, 2019

Insurance Verification Process Automation (IVPA) brings significant time and cost savings to manual insurance verification processes by replacing manual and error-prone workflows. With IVPA, a medical practice increases staff productivity and verifies patient insurance faster. Sophisticated integration technology ensures compatibility with electronic medical records, practice management systems and insurance payer websites for accurate verification status, data and reporting.

M&A Growth Exposed SharePoint Data Gaps and Triggered Need for Better Location Management

January 2, 2019

An organization with a wide geographic footprint grows quickly through mergers and acquisitions. The current process to manage data access and flow such as new location IDs, function and people is to use Excel spreadsheets and store information on SharePoint. This process causes version control uncertainty and confusion internally resulting in misidentification of locations, rework and inefficiencies in information gathering.

Robotic Process Automation Solves VoIP System Shortfalls

January 2, 2019

A company with 100 locations and 2,000 people is implementing a VoIP system to centralize phone and telecom services. Unfortunately, the new system setup allows any user to access administrative changes across all sites and locations without the ability to control user access and privileges. If an employee logs into the administration, there are no security limits or controls to prohibit human errors that can impact unwanted changes across all company locations. This customized functionality is on the future product roadmap for the VoIP system provider, however this organization needs immediate user controls to improve workflows.

Tracking Capital Expenditure Requests through Process and Data Automation

January 2, 2019

Finance organization with large capital expenditure requests amongst 100+ sites relied on manual processes, Microsoft Word, and email to request capital purchases. Currently tracking these requests and statuses manually via Word causes delays, ownership confusion and lack of global visibility into expenses as a form is emailed to various team members and departments. Purchases are delayed and requests are unaccounted for due to difficulty tracking the requestor and sender, incorrect updates and too many manual processes and exchanges for accuracy and timely responses.

A Better Way to Manage Insurance Claims and Eliminate Excel Spreadsheets

January 2, 2019

A financial system deployed across a large healthcare organization was not the primary source of recordkeeping amongst finance teams who worked with health insurers to manage claims and payments. Heavy reliance on Excel spreadsheets caused miscommunications, claims rework and often delayed payments with contracted health insurers. In addition to the inefficient claims management processes, global financial metrics were unavailable due to spreadsheet volume, version control and lack of data access.

Onboarding and Offboarding Process Improvement for 5,000 Employees

January 2, 2019

An organization currently relies on fax transmissions to manage employee onboarding and offboarding processes for 5,000 people. The IT department receives a paper fax which initiates the ticketing process to turn off/on employee access as members join and leave the organization. This current method, plagued with manual processes, printed paper and human errors, brings inaccuracies to a critical business component. Along with process and ownership confusion, the current method has been flagged for HIPAA concerns with distributing information and opens the door for potential security breaches like compromised log-ins.

Catalyst Health Network, an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) with 500,000+ patients and 300+ independent primary care physicians

July 6, 2018

Physician referral processes can become cumbersome when organizations rely heavily on spreadsheets for data management. For this ACO, operations were crippled by spreadsheet usage for referrals that were often placed to non-preferred providers or costly service centers. A single application to access MRI and Imaging referral data became necessary so the ACO can organize its preferred provider network across the user enterprise.

Better Call Experiences

July 2, 2018

Contact centers or businesses fielding large call volumes are often the first point of contact that determines a customer’s experience. Call advisors that toggle between screens or lack historical caller information can cause lengthy calls and unnecessary information repetition. TAP Innovations contact center solution integrates with any customer relations database and brings efficiency to call management with process standardization and data sharing automation.

Collaborating with 10,000+ Employees

July 2, 2018

Collaboration amongst a company’s 10,000 employees became difficult, as not all employees had email addresses or access to current contact information. Business practices of communicating company updates through office memos and manual spreadsheet tracking caused confusion and work duplication. An enterprise platform now reaches all employees through a dynamic intranet, bringing trust in data accuracy thanks to HR system integration and higher engagement amongst teams and departments.

In and Out of the System with 80% Turnover

July 2, 2018

Employee turnover often peaked at 80% for a large organization, causing confusion, duplicate work and time-consuming manual ticket management for IT and human resources staff. This company solved their business inefficiencies with process automation and streamlined tracking of employee status through integration between their IT and HR systems.

Company Growth Relied on the Ability to Scale Business Systems Quickly

July 2, 2018

For one financial services organization, company growth relied on the ability to scale business systems quickly to an extended team of advisors. Replacing Excel spreadsheets from current workflows with customized screens is opening data silos and provides a centralized database for cross-country collaboration and real-time information access. Onboarding of new advisors is possible thanks to the business efficiencies gained from the TAP Innovations platform.

Multi-state healthcare organization needed process improvement and automation

July 2, 2018

This large healthcare system had multiple spreadsheets and some paper solutions to track patient referral activity for 100+ healthcare facilities. An enterprise solution now provides visibility into referral trends while enabling better referral placements based on accurate insurance, demographics, and clinical data without the need for spreadsheets and manual processes, and helping reduce unnecessary costs by millions of dollars.

100,000 Patients in 20+ Spreadsheets

July 2, 2018

A simple patient survey tool gave one large physician group valuable insight into patient experiences and improved response to patient feedback by 100%. Immediate escalations based on patient feedback enabled measurable progress on clinical and quality improvements, while data and process automation through EMR system integration proved workflow-friendly for staff.
