Manual, spreadsheet-bound census reconciliation.
A benefits administration team reconciled monthly and quarterly census updates, covering employee counts, premiums, and plan details, entirely by hand. The spreadsheet-dependent process was error-prone, slow to separate true variances from acceptable differences, painful to research, and hard to scale. They needed an automated, auditable, repeatable way to identify, categorize, and resolve variances while preserving human review.
A modular, rule-based reconciliation framework.
We built an automation framework that ingests employer census files and carrier invoices and uses a rule-based engine to detect variances by employee, plan, or premium. It categorizes exceptions such as new hires, terminations, and rate changes, routes them through a resolution workflow with audit logging for approved adjustments, and surfaces recurring patterns through dynamic reporting dashboards. It handles both standardized and custom employer file formats.
Faster reconciliation, fewer errors, better client service.
- 80% reduction in manual effort per reconciliation cycle
- 3,200+ hours saved annually
- Automatic classification of common variance types
- Cleaner, approved census data downstream
“Automating variance detection and resolution turned a slow, error-prone reconciliation into a transparent, repeatable process the team could trust every cycle.”
We delivered more than a software solution, and helped transform how census data is captured, trusted, and acted on. With deep expertise in operations and digital systems, we enabled our client to move from reactive problem-solving to proactive, insight-driven operations.
