ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Equifax Workforce Solutions, a leader in human resource, analytics and verification services, today announced that more than 50,000 users are leveraging its unemployment cost management platform, CaseBuilder™, a solution designed to promote compliance and unemployment data integrity while streamlining the unemployment claims process. To further support this rapidly increasing user base, the company released its latest product enhancement, CaseBuilder for Mobile, which features responsive web design and optimization of the interface on Android, Apple and Windows devices.
Developed to work with the U.S. Department of Labor's State Information Data Exchange System (SIDES) – which facilitates the electronic exchange of claims information between state agencies and employers – Equifax Workforce Solutions has seen immediate and sustained demand for its CaseBuilder solution since it launched in September 2012. Through a user-friendly dashboard interface, CaseBuilder has delivered a 35 percent increase in compliant claims response among clients overall, along with significant savings in employer time, effort and financial resources. With its latest release, CaseBuilder for Mobile, the company continues to transform unemployment cost management, making the process easier to facilitate for employers in the traditional workspace as well as remote locations and field offices.
"Equifax Workforce Solutions is committed to delivering innovative technologies and services to help our clients better manage complex unemployment claims processes. And as we welcome our 50,000th active user, it is evident that companies recognize how important this is to business success as well as overall UI integrity," Anir Pradhan, senior vice president, Marketing for Equifax Workforce Solutions, commented. "To further enhance CaseBuilder, we leveraged client feedback for the introduction of the Mobile release, which uses current technology to streamline the process and help employers navigate the challenges associated with unemployment claims compliance from anywhere, on any device."
By making the CaseBuilder interface more readily available to its users, Equifax Workforce Solutions is expanding its support of UI integrity and efficient claims response beyond the constraints of the physical office. With CaseBuilder for Mobile, the interface will now automatically configure to fit the screens of Android, Apple and Windows devices, allowing for efficient claims management in the field as well as in the corporate office. The update is automatic and users will not need to download or install anything new on their mobile devices.
