MIP integration

Fully integrated member details and transactions.

Vuleka connects directly with the live transaction service, giving Kaelo agents access to the member information they need within the same workflow. Member details can be captured, retrieved and updated as part of the interaction, while live transactions are processed through the integrated service.

  • While an agent is on a call or a message, they can work in MIP
  • They can make notes on the member interaction
  • They can complete the live transactions Kaelo uses MIP for
  • The conversation and the MIP record stay together for that interaction
  • Agents use the Vuleka Reach web, desktop and mobile clients

Clinical, benefit, underwriting and claims decisions remain with Kaelo.

Self Service

Fully automated and integrated member self-service.

Members can complete approved journeys directly through the integrated service, with information captured and transactions processed automatically — without an agent being required.

A member can submit a claim request on WhatsApp, and an agent can take over.

WhatsApp

  • Members can start on WhatsApp and complete approved journeys without waiting for an agent
  • When a person is needed, the conversation can be passed to an agent in the same workspace
  • Content and templates are only those Kaelo approves
  • When a person takes over, they use the Vuleka Reach web, desktop and mobile clients

AI agents

  • Automated agents handle approved questions and routing
  • They use only journeys and knowledge Kaelo approves
  • A person can take over
  • When a person takes over, they use the Vuleka Reach web, desktop and mobile clients
An approved journey that answers, routes, or hands the conversation to a person.

Fully automated AI voice agent.

The AI voice agent handles routine member interactions such as statement requests, tax documents, status checks and other basic requests without an agent. It can identify the member, capture the required information, complete approved transactions and provide the appropriate response in real time.

Only complex, sensitive or exception-based matters are escalated to a human agent, allowing Kaelo’s team to focus on the interactions that genuinely require human intervention.

Encrypted calling, role-based access and mobile continuity apply across Inbound, Outbound, Omnichannel, MIP integration and Self Service.

How the service is introduced

NovaCloud will not publish a fixed go-live date in this proposal. The sequence represents the implementation method and delivery approach.

The timeline shown is indicative only. Actual phase durations and dates will be agreed once the number of sites, people, systems and integration requirements are confirmed.

Implementation Methodology

The implementation follows the sequence below. The timeline is indicative only, and the actual duration of each phase will be agreed once the number of sites, people, systems and integration requirements are confirmed.

  1. Initiation — Agree the project lead, first-phase scope, governance and how decisions will be recorded.

  2. Discovery — Confirm sites, teams, user numbers, operating hours, languages, member journeys and the systems that need to access or display the member record.

  3. Design — NovaCloud develops the solution design. Kaelo reviews and approves the design before the build begins.

  4. Build and Integration — NovaCloud builds the service and implements the integrations included in the agreed scope.

  5. Testing — NovaCloud completes technical and functional testing, followed by Kaelo testing the member journeys and processes they will use. Issues are resolved before go-live.

  6. Induction — Agents and supervisors are introduced to the Vuleka Reach web, desktop and mobile clients, including the relevant workflows and operating processes.

  7. Pilot — An agreed team or selected journey is introduced first to validate the solution before wider rollout.

  8. Go-Live and Numbering — The remaining teams transition on an agreed date. Number porting is scheduled only on Kaelo’s authority, with testing completed after each migration.

  9. Early Life Support — NovaCloud remains engaged following go-live, providing support, monitoring and ongoing management of the solution as a service.

Clinical, benefit, underwriting and claims decisions remain with Kaelo. NovaCloud carries the technology and, where Vuleka Reach is in scope, the conversation and the record of the conversation.
