Where You Are Today

We've taken the time to deeply understand your current situation. Here's what we identified.

🏬

Multi-channel ops drift apart — silently

Five locations, insurance + retail customers, plus Amazon and Walmart marketplaces. Each channel has its own data flow. Without an architectural spine connecting them, inventory drifts between locations, orders fall through cracks, and reporting lags reality by weeks. The cost isn't visible until you try to scale.

📋

Insurance workflows are the hidden tax

Eligibility checks, prior authorizations, claims processing, denial management. Every manual step in this chain costs hours per order and creates compliance exposure if logging is incomplete. For DME specifically, this is almost always the highest-leverage automation target — and the one most consultants underweight because it's harder than retail flows.

🔒

Automation without compliance architecture is risk theater

PHI handling means HIPAA applies. BAAs with vendors, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, role-based access — these aren't add-ons bolted on at the end. They're load-bearing architectural decisions that shape every workflow that touches patient data. Get them wrong once and the cost is catastrophic.

An audit-first automation engagement built around compliance-aware data flows.

I start by mapping every operational workflow across your 5 locations, your insurance + retail channels, and your Amazon and Walmart presence — then score each by leverage and compliance exposure. From there I design the automation architecture with HIPAA-aware patterns baked in: BAAs, encryption, audit logging, role-based access. I've built ops automation around sensitive data in regulated environments — the patterns transfer directly. Built to be the operational foundation your business scales on, not a one-off project.

Services & Deliverables

Everything you need — built, delivered, and ready to run.

🔒

Phase 2 — Compliance-Aware Architecture

  • HIPAA-aware data flow design — BAAs with vendors, encryption, audit logging, role-based access
  • PHI-handling patterns baked into every workflow that touches patient data
  • Vendor compliance review — which tools are HIPAA-eligible, which need replacement
  • Deliver: architecture doc with compliance posture and mitigation steps per workflow
⚙️

Phase 3 — Build Wave One

  • Top 3–5 highest-leverage automations built, tested, and deployed
  • Insurance workflow automation — eligibility, prior auth, claims tracking — where applicable
  • Multi-location inventory sync with marketplace (Amazon, Walmart) order routing

Let's start the conversation this week.

Send me a few times you're free this week. The first call is 30 minutes — I'll come ready with audit-prep questions and we'll discuss your top 3 operational pain points across the locations, insurance ops, and marketplace channels. From there we'll confirm scope, timing, and the right first phase to anchor on.
