ADRES Enters Medical Claims Auditing Through Artificial Intelligence, Built with Blend

PAACME (Automatic Processing and Analysis of Medical Claims) uses cutting-edge technology to transform the processing and auditing of claims related to care provided to victims of traffic accidents involving uninsured, unidentified, or hit-and-run vehicles.

BOGOTA, Colombia, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Administrator of the Resources of Colombia’s General Social Security Health System (ADRES), in partnership with Blend360, a premier AI services provider, launched PAACME (Procesamiento y Análisis Automático de Cuentas Médicas). The solution automates the processing, analysis, and auditing of medical claims that clinics and hospitals submit for services provided to victims of traffic accidents involving uninsured, unidentified, or hit-and-run vehicles. Coverage also extends to claims arising from terrorist incidents and natural catastrophic events.

As an Anthropic Authorized Reseller for Amazon Bedrock, Blend deployed Claude on Amazon Bedrock, powered by Anthropic, including Claude Opus, Claude Sonnet, and Claude Haiku. These models were extensively used to interpret and structure complex medical documentation, transforming unstructured clinical records into standardized medical and administrative data. The models also enabled the evaluation of medical relevance and coverage across audited claims, the automation of key validations, and the integration of multiple data sources.

PAACME began operations in June and is expected to significantly reduce claims processing times, which can currently exceed four months due to adjustments and objections. ADRES aims to reduce this processing time to less than two weeks, helping improve cash flow for healthcare providers.

Audit processing times were reduced by approximately 96%, decreasing from five hours per case to just 5 to 10 minutes. The cost per audit dropped by nearly 75%, while response times improved by up to 40 times, enabling ADRES to process a significantly larger volume of claims with greater operational efficiency.

At the same time, PAACME strengthened data quality and decision-making capabilities. The use of Claude models improved reasoning over complex medical documentation, achieving 87% accuracy in medical components. The solution also reinforces transparency and oversight by ensuring traceability throughout each validation and safeguarding the proper use of public healthcare resources.

According to ADRES, in 2025 alone, the entity paid COP 702 billion in claims related to traffic accidents involving uninsured vehicles. During the same period, healthcare providers submitted 432,234 new claims, of which 99.6% corresponded to traffic accidents involving uninsured vehicles, representing more than COP 1.07 trillion.

For the government entity, this system represents a major transformation in the claims process by providing greater capacity, quality, and efficiency in auditing. For healthcare providers, it is expected to deliver significant benefits, including fewer administrative objections through early verification of information quality and a reduction in claim rejections, thereby optimizing recognition and payment cycle times.

“The use of technology in service of people transforms fragmented processes into solutions that address real needs. The collaboration between ADRES, Blend, and AWS demonstrates this transformation: reactive auditing processes evolve into models where data, advanced analytics, and cloud technologies enable faster, more accurate, and traceable decision-making.”

— Karla Wong, Education and Public Sector Leader, Amazon Web Services

“This platform represents a turning point in the management of medical claims within Colombia’s healthcare sector. Behind it lies rigorous work in data engineering and cloud architecture that enabled us to design models capable of interpreting, classifying, and auditing medical claims with a level of precision that previously depended exclusively on human judgment.”

— Andrés Barrantes, Senior Vice President for LATAM, Blend

Through this transformation, ADRES strengthened its ability to manage healthcare system resources more efficiently, accurately, and transparently, laying the foundation for a scalable, data-driven operation that directly contributes to the sustainability of and trust in Colombia’s healthcare system.

Saledock Gives Celerant ONE Retailers One Place to Market, Message and Manage Every Customer Conversation

CES gives UK retailers a central marketing hub connected to live sales data.

KINGSTON UPON HULL, England, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Saledock, a Celerant company, today launched Customer Engagement Suite (CES) for Celerant ONE, giving UK retailers a central hub for email marketing, SMS, social media, reputation management and every customer conversation, from website live chat to WhatsApp messages.

Because CES connects in real time to Celerant ONE’s ePOS and eCommerce, retailers can automate targeted, personalised messages based on what customers do in-store and online, using the customer, sales, and product information already in their system.

Marketing That Knows What Your Customers Bought

Most independent retailers manage customer communication across a patchwork of tools: one for email, another for text messages, a social media scheduler, review sites, a WhatsApp inbox and a separate live chat on their website. None of those tools know what a customer bought last week, so campaigns stay generic and staff waste time exporting lists and copying product details between systems.

CES closes that gap. It sits inside Celerant ONE and draws directly on the data retailers already have, including customer records, in-store and online sales history, and product images and information. The result is marketing that reflects real buying behaviour, built and sent from the same platform the retailer uses to run the shop.

How It Works

Retailers can set up automated workflows triggered by what happens at the till or on their website, and get as creative as they like. A workflow might thank a customer after their first purchase, follow up with shoppers who bought a particular brand or category, or win back customers who haven’t visited in a while, by email or SMS. Once it’s set, it runs in the background.

For retailers who don’t want to build workflows from scratch, a built-in AI agent can create them, so even a small team can put automated marketing to work.

Building a campaign is faster too. Product images and descriptions come straight from Celerant ONE, so there’s no need to recreate content that already exists in the catalogue.

With CES, Celerant ONE retailers can:

Automate email and SMS campaigns based on in-store and online purchase activityLet the built-in AI agent build workflows for themAnswer website live chat and WhatsApp messages from a single inboxSchedule posts and engage with followers across Facebook, Instagram, and their other social channelsMonitor and respond to customer reviews to protect their reputationReduce the number of separate marketing and messaging tools they pay for and manage

“Retailers already own their most valuable marketing asset, which is their customer and sales data,” said Michele Salerno, Chief Growth Officer at Celerant Technology. “The problem is that data usually sits in one system while their email, texts, reviews, and social media live somewhere else. CES puts all of it in one place and connects it to every sale, so a retailer can send a message that’s actually relevant to that customer without exporting a list or logging into a handful of different tools.”

“Running a shop leaves very little time for marketing, and jumping between different apps to do it doesn’t help,” said Layla Gladwin, Managing Director of Saledock. “With CES, everything a retailer needs to talk to their customers is inside Celerant ONE and connected to what’s happening at the till and online. Set up a workflow once, or let the AI agent build it for you, and it keeps working while you get on with serving customers.”

Availability

Customer Engagement Suite is available now as an optional add-on for Celerant ONE retailers. Existing Celerant ONE retailers can contact their Saledock account representative to get started. Retailers considering new ePOS and eCommerce software can request a Celerant ONE demonstration to see CES and the complete platform at [https://www.saledock.com/customer-enagagement-suite/]
