Hour bank administration breaks down when eligibility, contributions, self-pay, and member communication live in separate systems

Fragmented eligibility and hour tracking

Hour balances, contribution history, and eligibility determinations live in disconnected spreadsheets and legacy systems.

Manual self-pay and delinquency workflows

Payment processing, delinquency tracking, and member outreach require constant manual coordination.

Weak member visibility into balances and history

Members lack clear access to their hour bank status, payment history, and plan documents.

Reporting and service work spread across too many tools

Administrative reporting, member service, and communication workflows exist in separate systems.
