Claims Management Software for Dummies: Here’s What It Can Do for You

It’s a great time to be in business in the UK. The economy is booming, consumer confidence is up and the forecasts, despite all the negative Brexit talk, look positive. However, that doesn’t mean any budding entrepreneur can afford to take their eye off the business ball. Driving up sales, slashing costs where you can, managing finances (including with programs like claims software) and getting ahead of your rivals is what it’s all about.

Indeed, things are looking so good across the UK economy that record numbers of startups are being launched everywhere. Plus, they’re getting a boost from the government-backed StartUp Britain initiative. It reports that as of now, more than 57,000 new businesses have been launched so far in 2017.

Naturally, many of these modern enterprises rely heavily on computerisation to get the job done efficiently. For those handling claims as part of their operation, using claims management software to automate the process and make it faster and more secure is essential. Here’s a rundown of the benefits that using this type of sophisticated commercial program can give your business.

Rule No. 1 of Startup Success: Don’t Be a Control Freak!

 The first and obvious question for the owner of any start-up when considering a claims software package to help them run their business is, of course, “do I need it?” Money is tight and revenues are only just starting to grow, so can you get away with it doing it manually? Well, you can try.

There is a natural reluctance to shell out several hundred pounds for something you might think you can get away with without using, but this do-it-all-yourself philosophy is often the bane of many a new company — whether from a financial or control viewpoint. Owners quickly become swamped with heavy workloads and lose focus on driving the new company forward. The result is a flailing enterprise, when it should be thriving.

Wise startups know that, whether they have the money or not, delegation is the key to growth and eventual success. Handing over the time-consuming and frequently error-ridden manual tasks to the best claims management software is the clear answer. While the program whirs away and deals with everything, you can keep your eye on the business road and make real gains.

Claims Software Made Simple

 Now we get to the nuts and bolts of what claims management software can do for firms or agencies involved in everything from packaged bank accounts and mortgage mis-selling, to PPI and flight delay claims. The good news is that it doesn’t cost much to purchase top-quality claims software and have it installed — and it will soon pay for itself many times over. It may also be licensed depending on the number of users, but if you’re a small operation with a limited number of staff, the cost is not going to be much of an issue, either.

Once installed and you’re given the once-over as to how it works, claims software can easily be configured to what your company is doing with claims. Claims software from leading developers, such as Logican in Manchester, is designed with ease of use in mind, so it won’t present baffling challenges to you or your staff. While support will always be available, ongoing training in how to use claims management software won’t usually be required.

 When your claims software is up and running, you have access the many elements of your claims business in one place. At the click of a mouse, you can easily set up your clients’ claims, whatever type they are. The various documents you’ll need will be automatically generated, as will important reminder and chaser letters. You can also build up your workflows as you want them, with incredible simplicity. Automatic invoicing and handling payments also become a breeze, with peace of mind guaranteed thanks to high levels of inbuilt security.

When starting out in business, there’s no need to feel like a dummy — not when you have clever help from your software friends.
