Claims Litigation Vendor Management
Work smarter with PartnerSelect - a network for insurance carriers and law firms to manage data and assignments through an enterprise cloud solution.
Confronting Barriers to Efficient Vendor Management
Managing vendors, both legal and non-legal, is a complex process, often requiring access to disparate systems to obtain current and relevant vendor information. Relying on multiple systems is complicated, and causes difficulty in tracking and maintaining vendor information and compliance records. This lack of visibility and clarity can make it hard to effectively control costs. Unreliable data and metrics that support your vendor selection process can compound the problem, impacting performance, quality and compliance status. That’s why forward-looking claims organizations rely on a single, centralized SaaS solution to optimize vendor management – eliminating the complex and unreliable process of searching across many different platforms
The problem:
Claims organizations of all sizes need to have efficient processes in place to effectively manage their claims vendor network. However, many organizations lack a centralized location to access relevant and required vendor information across their claims vendors. In addition, it’s common to struggle with tracking and maintaining up-to-date vendor information, which may result in working with vendors who are out of compliance with your internal policies. Finally, claims organizations often lack ready access to meaningful data and insights to improve their current vendor relationships—and lack visibility into out-of-network vendors, which can hamper the ability to expand into new regions. The end result? Increased costs and risk and decreased opportunities.
The solution:
Bottomline’s PartnerSelect Manage, a vendor management solution, provides claims organizations with a single, centralized SaaS offering that helps track and proactively manage all vendor relationships.
