About The Customer
Oladoc is the largest digital healthcare platform in Pakistan, connecting patients with healthcare providers and health services. Through Oladoc, patients can search for doctors by specialty, geography, satisfaction score, waiting time and make an instant booking. Hospitals can integrate with Oladoc’s practice management solution to manage their medical appointments and patient data. Oladoc currently operates in Pakistan with more than 6,000 providers subscribed on the platform, serving almost 500,000 patients every month.
The Challenge
Oladoc, the largest digital healthcare platform in Pakistan, was facing a significant challenge with low SMS delivery rates, which was leading to low customer retention and patient show-up rates. Many patients using the platform were not receiving appointment confirmations or reminders due to these low delivery rates. Furthermore, due to literacy rates in Pakistan, many patients who did receive Oladoc notifications were not familiar with the style of communication and found it hard to understand the messages they received. As a result, they disregarded the messages, leading to missed appointments. These combined challenges were affecting the healthcare platform’s overall customer satisfaction and retention rates. Oladoc realized that to improve patient satisfaction and loyalty, they needed to work with a messaging provider that could guarantee higher SMS delivery rates and provide a more relatable and personalized experience.
The Solution
Oladoc decided to implement Infobip’s SMS and Voice solutions to address their challenges. Infobip, with its 40 data centers worldwide and 700+ direct connections, seemed like the right technology partner for Oladoc's business needs. The healthcare platform used Infobip’s communications platform to send personalized promotional messages and appointment confirmations via SMS. They also implemented Infobip’s Voice solution to set up reminder calls for appointments for both doctors and patients 15 minutes before the appointments. This helped patients who had trouble comprehending previous SMS messages communicate with Oladoc to get the right information on time. Additionally, patients could share feedback about the appointment by calling the same number, which helped doctors improve their patients’ experience over time.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
