What does the CMS offer?
The CMS application has been designed for professional claims handlers by claims
handling professionals who understand the specific and unique requirements of the
insurance claims industry, whether you are a Claims Adjuster or a Claims Management
company.
CMS is a complete claims management and database solution that allows you to manage
your in house and field operations whilst providing your clients specified access
to your file activities, enabling them to track the progress of their claims and
upload/download claims data, reports and documents.

Integrated Document Management
CMS is not just software, it’s a service tool. Increase efficiency and save time
and costs by eliminating redundant processes. You do not have to re-enter claims
data each time you want to create a document; the uploaded data is auto generated
on the preformatted Adjusters report templates, letters and forms.
You can upload Word, Excel or PDF documents and Photos, or generate documents and
make these available for other staff to use or edit. In addition to managing your
important claims data, we store all your associated documents & reports.
Our integrated document and file management means that your claim files are available
wherever you or a third party needs it - in the office, on the road, anywhere with
an internet connection to access CMS.
What is the CMS Online Portal?
CMS Online Portal is external interface of the program. It is a fully secure web
based portal to facilitate access by an Insurer or Broker to information that relates
to them, controlled by privacy levels that you set.
Selected users can lodge claims, upload claims data, download adjusters claim reports,
forms and documents. By using CMS Online you can automate update requests and ensure
nothing gets missed. Online claims lodgement means the claims data is entered directly
onto the program, avoiding the need to re-enter the data at your end, saving you
time and costs and helping to ensure accuracy of uploads.
There is even a Quick Update click and send feature.
The CMS Online portal login can be integrated with your own website to provide seamless
access to your clients. Yes, your Clients log on to your website to access the CMS.
How is CMS Claims Data Stored Securely?
CMS utilises the latest cloud based client server database technology to ensure your
data is fully maintained at all times. Being a fully hosted service, no information
is stored on your computer; which means you don’t have to worry about expensive
software, server maintenance, data backup or information security. All data is secured
using SSL Data Encryption (as secure as online banking).
At present can you guarantee your staff are protecting your data? With CMS now you
can. You can assign secure logins, based on privacy levels, to administration staff,
managers, claims handlers, Insurers and Brokers to ensure they only have access
to the claim information that they are responsible for or entitled to have. It literally
takes seconds to access your secure data. Just log on to the CMS website (or via
your integrated website), enter your username and password and you have access.
No need for IT consultants or costly on-site deployments.
