Your Process, Your Way
Many complaint or quality management systems (QMS) lock you into a pre-determined process for complaint handling that may or may not meet your specific requirements.
Integrify believes flexibility is still possible while remaining compliant. You can design your process to match your organization's unique structure and staffing while ensuring consistent process standards are followed. Plus, our reporting is just as flexible so you can build dashboards and reports to track your compliance and efficiency goals however you see fit.
Complaint Management FAQs
Q. How are customer/employee complaints captured?
A. Complaints and claims are captured via customized forms within a self-service portal. Both forms and portals are highly configurable and can be branded to an organization's requirements. Forms are mobile-friendly and can be customized with logic, pre-fills, and required fields to ensure all complaint information is captured.
Q. How do we ensure complaints and claims are routed properly?
A. Routing is done using a workflow engine that is configured with business rules to ensure that complaints can be routed based on type, urgency, location, or whatever variables are needed by an organization. Custom alerts, reminders, and escalations ensure that process participants take the required task actions to keep a complaint moving through review and resolution.
Q. How do we track the progress of a complaint?
A. Every complaint can be tracked via dashboards, reports, and audit trails to both provide updates and ensure performance goals/service agreements are met. Managers can locate complaint process bottlenecks and reassign work to ensure complaints are handled efficiently. If desired, complainants can track the progress of their complaints as well.
Q. How long does it take to implement a complaint management system?
A. Implementation varies by complexity and preparedness. For instance, if the process is already documented and approved, the actual process build can be done in days or weeks, once the process is ready to be automated. No coding is required to build a process as the process builder is completely drag-and-drop.
