PRODUCT ENHACEMENT – SMART ONE TIME PIN


PRODUCT ENHACEMENT – SMART ONE TIME PIN






Smart Applications International, provider of the revolutionary Automated Medical Scheme management solution using biometrically controlled smart cards, currently in use by all Medical Insurance companies in Kenya has introduced an additional feature to their existing biometric medical smart card system.

Over the years, access to healthcare services has primarily been through each members’ smart cards and fingerprints which are stored in the card. Introduction of the One Time Pin capability enhances and extends the customer experience for inclusivity to staff and dependants in the following categories:-
  1. Physically handicapped patients with no arms
  2. Patients undergoing cancer treatment affecting their fingerprints.
  3. Patients with a history of smoking over a long period of their lives thus affecting their fingerprints.
  4. Extensible use during no contact scenarios

This new feature comes as a reprieve to many HR professionals who have staff and their dependants who have experienced challenges accessing healthcare using their fingerprints. The new feature has these benefits:-

KEY FEATURES
a)    The OTP pin generated is unique and cannot be re-used
b)    Allows for real-time authentication of the members accessing healthcare service therefore mitigating against identity fraud
c)    Easy to Use – Only your mobile number is needed
d)    Provided Contactless authentication during the Covid pandemic period.

SET-UP
For set-up and onboarding to the OTP platform, please contact your medical scheme administrator and insurer.

Keep your employees safe. Provide them with meals within the workplace.






Employers around the world are grappling with COVID-19. Key to combating this challenge is prioritizing essential staff and implementing rotational shifts, while making sure employees stay safe.

In addition to the measures you have already put in place, you should consider preventing your employees from leaving the premises for lunch and potentially picking up the virus.

IHRM has partnered with Apptivate Africa who have a network of over 60 caterers across the country who can bring wholesome meals to your workplace for your employees. The meals range between Ksh 100 and 500 depending on menu and volume. Their M-Kula wallet will ensure that the feeding process is transparent and easy.

In consideration of the tough economic time the Covid-19 virus has brought, Apptivate will waive its service fee till the end of May 2020 for the interested companies, to allow employees to be healthy and safe as they work to drive production.

How M-Kula works
M-Kula is a digital wallet for each employee which is loaded by the employer and used by the employee to purchase lunch. As an employer, you can control how much your employee can transact per day, where and when they can eat. Values not used are transferred to the next month.

In addition to providing meals in a hygienic environment, here are the other advantages of using M-Kula.












We urge our members who will continue operating during this period to provide your employees with meals on-site to help build the employee’s immunity as well as minimize their interaction with outsiders when they go to look for meals.

To find out more about M-Kula, please respond to this mail, or call on
0700 300 205 or 0736540000.
