Flight Medicals' Transformation with Docupilot
Flight Medicals, a company that specializes in providing medical services and documentation for the aviation industry, faced significant challenges in their documentation and workflow processes. Prior to using Docupilot, Flight Medicals dealt with numerous inefficiencies that impacted their operations. The company needed a more streamlined, automated solution to manage their medical forms, templates, and overall client experience.
Challenges Flight Medicals Faced Before Using Docupilot:
- Time-Consuming Documentation Process:
Flight Medicals spent a lot of time manually filling out medical forms and updating documents. The process of working with Microsoft Word documents with embedded macros, especially for filling medical assessments, was tedious and inefficient. - Human Error and Client Frustrations:
The company encountered frequent issues with human errors, such as incorrect email addresses appearing in the inbox or fields not being populated correctly due to case sensitivity issues in the templates. This led to client frustrations and delays in document processing. - Limited Template Flexibility:
The existing workflow involved uploading templates and manually linking fields to the modules in the API. This approach was cumbersome and required the creation of a new module each time a template needed updating. - High Resource Utilization:
Managing documentation workflows required significant human resources. Flight Medicals had to allocate considerable time and effort to managing, editing, and generating medical reports, which was draining for the team. - Technological Friction:
There was a lack of integration between the tools used by Flight Medicals, particularly with integrating templates and managing dynamic fields. The reliance on outdated systems, such as Microsoft Word macros, further hindered efficiency.
- Cost Inefficiencies: Due to the manual nature of the workflows, the company spent valuable time (up to an hour per form) on tasks that could otherwise be automated. This represented a loss in both productivity and potential business opportunities.
