Routing takes longer than the reply itself.

Everything comes in through one central number and a few mailboxes. Every message is read, matched to a request type, assigned to a case and forwarded to the right team. The reply often takes two sentences after that; the routing before it takes longer.

9request typesFrom rescheduled appointments to complaints, everything lands in the same pile.
40 secondsper assignmentRead, find the case, forward: for every single message.
2hours to the first replyThat is how long the service centre spends distributing messages in the morning.

By 06:00, before the first call comes in, Monday's 140 messages are sorted into nine request types, with up to 70% less manual routing effort.

The reduction of up to 70% in manual routing effort is this agent's headline figure. The number of messages, the request types and the assignment time describe a typical Monday in the service centre; they are not measured values.

Three steps through the process.

The agent classifies requests, assigns them to a case and prepares draft replies; nothing is sent without approval.

Sort incoming messages overnight

The agent reads the messages from the mailboxes and the fax inbox and assigns each one to a request type. Anything it cannot assign with confidence goes into a separate pile.

Received by 06:00, 140 messages sorted into 9 request types

File each message with its case

The agent finds the matching case for every message using patient number, name and reference date. If it finds none, it notes this on the message.

128 messages assigned to a case, 12 without a match

Attach draft replies to the case

The agent writes a draft for recurring requests and attaches it to the case. The inbox specialist reads, edits and approves it.

37 drafts in the work queue, each linked to its source message

What the agent does not do.

It does not send replies.

It files the draft with the case. The inbox specialist approves and sends it.

It does not answer medical questions.

It flags requests with a medical element and passes them to the responsible department. The care team provides the information.

It does not handle complaints.

It recognises them as complaints and puts them at the top of the pile. Patient management writes the reply.

The questions that come up before the first meeting.

How quickly is the Central Inbox Agent ready to use?

A pilot typically runs on your own data within 4 to 6 weeks. The agent connects to your existing systems rather than running as a separate, parallel environment.

Where is the data processed?

EU cloud, private cloud or on-premises. Processing is GDPR-compliant and models are never trained on your data. Details in the Trust Center.

Where does the figure “up to 70% less manual routing effort” come from?

It is based on experience from comparable projects and process benchmarks, not a commitment. We work out the realistic effect for your organisation during the assessment before the pilot.
