As a one-man team, all that time spent on a single client’s data reconciliation was really expensive.”  Having worked at other benefits platforms in the past, Grant was used to the operational work that accompanied managing benefits enrollment.

The change was dramatic. “Since we started working with Noyo, I haven’t touched a piece of data.

Their job is to click run on an EDI file, QA it, and send it. We don’t need them here at Sana. I can quite literally forget to look at a client’s enrollment and it still gets done because Noyo has it all handled.” \n\nUsing Noyo’s dashboard, Grant has one place where he can easily see the status of any transaction. “I finally have visibility. No more chasing down files and trying to guess if something got done at the carrier.”","nodeType":"text"}],"nodeType":"paragraph"},{"data":{},"content":[{"data":{},"marks":[],"value":"The impact","nodeType":"text"}],"nodeType":"heading-2"},{"data":{},"content":[{"data":{},"marks":[],"value":"Grant has seen a 95% reduction in the time he spends on client implementations and enrollment operations. But Sana’s partnership with Noyo has a much broader impact than just eliminating time spent on manual data review. In Grant’s experience, companies like Sana often have to build entire teams to manage EDI intake and development, with each client group subject to its own weeks- or months-long process to get their files up and running. \n\nWith Noyo, that has all gone away. After the initial technical integration to Noyo’s APIs, there is no additional client-based work to do on an ongoing basis. Sana’s client base is growing quickly, and they can provide best-in-class service without scaling an operations team alongside it.","nodeType":"text"}],"nodeType":"paragraph"}],"nodeType":"document"}
