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 The reliance on outdated systems, such as Microsoft Word macros, further hindered efficiency.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.

How Docupilot Helped Flight Medicals

Docupilot transformed Flight Medicals' workflow by automating and streamlining their documentation process. With the ability to quickly generate and populate medical forms, Docupilot allowed the team to save time, reduce errors, and increase overall productivity. The platform’s flexibility in managing templates and fields, along with its integration capabilities, solved many of the technological challenges they faced.

Flight Medicals was able to move away from cumbersome manual processes and instead focus on providing faster, more efficient service to their clients.

Docupilot Features That Helped Flight Medicals Solve Its Challenges

  • Automated Template Population:
    Docupilot allowed Flight Medicals to automate the population of templates, saving time and reducing the risk of errors associated with manual data entry.

  • Dynamic Field Mapping:
    By using Docupilot’s dynamic field mapping, Flight Medicals could easily route information to the correct places within their templates, allowing for more flexible document management.

  • Multiple Template Handling:
    The ability to handle multiple templates and dynamically select the appropriate one helped Flight Medicals streamline their workflow, reducing the need for creating new modules for each template update.

  • Seamless Integrations with Make (Integromat):
    Docupilot’s integration with Make (formerly Integromat) allowed for a seamless connection to Flight Medicals' existing tools, enabling automation of their workflows without manual intervention.
  • Error-Free Document Generation: The ability to avoid manual document filling and reduce human error, particularly with fields like email addresses and medical data, significantly improved the client experience.

Key Results

  • Increased Workflow Efficiency:
    Flight Medicals reported a major improvement in workflow efficiency, allowing them to complete document processing much faster than before.

  • Time Savings:
    Flight Medicals saved approximately 1,000 hours over the last two years by automating their document generation process. This freed up valuable time for their staff to focus on higher-value tasks.

  • Productivity Boost:
    The time saved on documentation tasks resulted in a 200-hour reduction in workload per year, leading to a more productive and satisfied team.

  • Improved Client Satisfaction:
    The reduction in human error and faster processing led to an enhanced client experience, with fewer issues related to incorrect or missing information on medical documents.

  • Scalability:
    By automating the process, Flight Medicals gained the ability to scale their business without requiring additional resources, enabling them to take on more clients.
  • Business Growth: Flight Medicals saw an opportunity to expand their services and reach a broader audience by leveraging Docupilot's automation features, ultimately improving business prospects.

By embracing Docupilot, Flight Medicals was able to address the key pain points in their documentation workflows, resulting in enhanced efficiency, reduced errors, and significant time and cost savings. The automation of their processes not only improved internal operations but also enhanced the client experience, paving the way for future business growth.
