Case management was
spreadsheet chaos

A structured settlement firm was managing cases across email, spreadsheets, and paper forms. Compliance was a constant worry.

Fragmented Workflows

Cases lived across email threads, Excel spreadsheets, and paper forms. No single source of truth meant constant confusion about case status.

No Visibility for Claimants

Claimants had no way to track their case progress. They'd call constantly asking "where's my case?" — eating up broker time.

Compliance Risks

No audit trails. No document security. No role-based access. One audit away from serious problems.

Broker Assignment Chaos

Assigning the right broker to the right case was manual guesswork. Specializations weren't tracked. Cases fell through the cracks.

Three portals, one
source of truth

We built Align as a role-based case management platform where clients, brokers, and admins each have their own tailored experience — all connected to a central, audit-ready system.

01

Client Portal

Claimants can submit cases, upload documents, track status, and message their broker — all in one place.

  • Multi-step case submission wizard
  • Drag-and-drop document uploads (50MB+)
  • Real-time case status tracking
  • Secure messaging with assigned broker
  • Email notifications for updates
02

Broker Portal

Brokers manage their assigned cases with full visibility into documents, notes, and client communication.

  • Dashboard with assigned cases
  • Tabbed case view (Info / Notes / Files / Messages)
  • Internal notes (hidden from clients)
  • Document upload and download
  • Priority flags and deadline tracking
03

Admin Portal

Full oversight of all cases, users, and system activity with detailed audit logs.

  • View all active and archived cases
  • User management (create/edit/delete)
  • Broker assignment and reassignment
  • Complete audit log viewer
  • Platform-wide reports and metrics

HIPAA-ready
from day one

Encryption at Rest

All documents stored in AWS S3 with server-side encryption. Sensitive data never exposed.

Encryption in Transit

HTTPS everywhere with SSL certificates. All data encrypted between client and server.

Audit Logging

Every action logged with user, timestamp, and metadata. Complete audit trail for compliance reviews.

Role-Based Access

Strict permission boundaries. Clients see only their cases. Brokers see only assigned cases.

No PHI in Emails

Email notifications contain no protected health information. Just links back to the secure portal.

Session Timeouts

Automatic session expiration and activity logging for security compliance.

Audit Failures

Complete audit trail from day one. Every login, upload, message, and status change logged with timestamp and user ID.

Claimant Transparency

Claimants track their own case progress. No more "where's my case?" calls. Self-service reduces broker workload.
