Accelerating Claims Efficiency: Transforming the Claim Processing Experience with Salesforce Lightning

overview

Empowering Efficiency and Innovation

We streamlined claim processing and enhanced user experience by developing a Salesforce-based claim portal. This solution improved efficiency, introduced new features, and ensured scalability for future growth, positioning our system as robust and adaptable.

Challenges and Objectives

The goal was to create a clean, intuitive user interface (UI) for submitting claims with seamless self-registration. The UI needed to capture essential claim data and prevent incomplete submissions. Additionally, it was critical to guide first-time users by providing step-by-step assistance based on claim type, ensuring an easier and more efficient claim filing process compared to legacy systems.

Challenges Faced

Complex Claim Workflows

Existing systems were not user-friendly, had multiple channels for claim filing, manual data entry and different workflows for different products and partners, leading to incomplete submissions and a poor user experience.

Speedy Architecture: A Challenge

Making swift and informed architecture decisions was a challenge due to the need to leverage SME insights and prior experience to guide the technical team.

Bilingual Claims: Overcoming the Barrier

Implementing seamless English-Spanish translations for claims data, portal content, and user interfaces proved to be a hurdle for accommodating a bilingual user base.

Effective User Support: A Hurdle

Creating a searchable knowledge library and pop-up tips in layman’s terms was a challenge for ensuring effective user onboarding and support.

Skill Upgrade: LWC Expertise, a Difficulty

The team faced difficulties upskilling in Salesforce’s LWC framework to ensure a smooth migration and effective handling of technical complexities.

Balancing Resources: A Challenge

Closely monitoring resource allocation and deliverables, while also addressing skill gaps, was a challenge to ensure project quality and timely completion.
