Insurance

In insurance, the time taken to settle a claim is the main driver of satisfaction. It depends above all on how complete the file is at the moment it is submitted.

Stakes

What weighs on the trade

  • Claim settlement times
  • Completeness of supporting documents
  • Tracking of due dates and unpaid premiums
  • Detection of inconsistent declarations

Critical operations

What must not stop

  • Underwriting and policy issuance
  • Premium collection and due-date tracking
  • Claim notification and processing
  • Loss adjustment and settlement
  • Renewal and cancellation

Why digitalise

What technology changes here

A claim submitted online with completeness checks and timestamped photographs starts processing immediately, instead of waiting for a branch visit and missing documents.

What can be automated

  • Completeness checks at notification
  • Automatic reminders for missing documents
  • Premium schedules and arrears reminders
  • Generation of policies and endorsements
  • Assignment of files to handlers according to rules
