Strategic Partnership to Connect Healthcare Vendor Compliance and Contracting

Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ProviderTrust, a leading healthcare data and technology company, announces a strategic partnership and alignment with Ntracts, a leading contract lifecycle management software for healthcare organizations. This partnership will improve compliance data hygiene and give healthcare organizations clear visibility into their vendors’ payment eligibility at contracting and throughout contract execution. Together, ProviderTrust and Ntracts will prioritize holding vendors accountable for healthcare compliance and the regulatory standards imposed on government lines of business.

“We are thrilled to partner with Ntracts to enable connectivity between vendor compliance and contract management.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Ntracts to enable better connectivity between vendor compliance and contract management,” said Christopher Redhage, co-founder and managing partner at ProviderTrust. “These services are complimentary in the most effective way, enabling healthcare organizations to vet vendors throughout the contracting process and beyond, ensuring that vendors and their owners are not excluded at any time during their business relationship. This vendor strategy provides vital insights for risk-based decisions throughout the lifecycle of the vendor relationship, ensuring there are no surprises.”

The HHS Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG) mandates that healthcare organizations refrain from doing business with “excluded or sanctioned” individuals or entities, which includes vendor networks of key suppliers such as durable medical equipment, contract employees, software and technology, janitorial services, etc. that are needed to effectively perform healthcare services. According to the OIG, if a healthcare provider contracts with a person or entity that is excluded by the OIG, “the provider may be subject to [Civil Monetary Penalties] liability if the excluded person provides services payable, directly or indirectly, by a Federal healthcare program.”

Since its founding, ProviderTrust has uniquely led the way in providing innovative solutions that uphold data integrity for ongoing exclusion monitoring of vendors, employees, and providers, continuously monitoring 10,000,000+ people and entities, specifically 3,600,000+ vendors, for compliance. ProviderTrust’s Comprehensive Vendor Compliance solution activates best practices in annual vendor data collection and ongoing exclusion monitoring of vendor populations, ensuring payment eligibility, vendor onboarding, and approval workflows, custom questionnaires and attestations, and identification of vendor ownership structure.

Ntracts’ contract lifecycle management (CLM) solution empowers healthcare organizations to mitigate risk, maintain compliance, and increase contracting efficiencies.  According to the American Hospital Association, the average-sized community hospital spends $7.6 million annually on administrative activities related to regulatory compliance and even more in fines if they experience a violation. In a heightened regulatory environment, healthcare organizations are prioritizing increased efficiency and risk mitigation, while continuing to drive down costs. Typical savings identified from contract consolidation amounts to an average of 10 percent of the total contract value.

The ProviderTrust and Ntracts partnership recognizes complimentary services so clients can gain a more complete view of their vendor relationships. This includes ensuring that financial arrangements are effectively contracted and timely compliance checks are completed ahead of vendor payment.

“This partnership with ProviderTrust exemplifies our commitment to our mission of delivering premier technology, services, and expertise through CLM by uniting their industry-leading vendor compliance monitoring with our robust contract lifecycle management platform,” said David Paschall, CEO of Ntracts. “Together, we are setting a new standard for how healthcare organizations should prioritize additional measures to efficiently and seamlessly obtain a comprehensive view of active, external parties and their associated contracts, furthering their adherence to industry regulations.”

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/]
