A double whammy of falling premiums and rising claims costs.

Time to tackle claims costs now to maintain competitive advantage but how to do so without incurring more capital costs and potentially hitting customer satisfaction.

A number of insurtechs offer solutions but few have 3.6 million claims digitally transformed for major insurers to prove they can collapse costs and delight customers at the same time. 360Globalnet has proved that insurers can beat Mckinsey's prediction that 

"Motor Insurers can double profit's within 5 years". 

Backed up by other major consultants here are the goals to aim for.

  • 60% Reduction in FTE staffing -Boston Consulting Group (BCG)

A key lesson that has been learnt is that combining digital claims platforms with unstructured data management and analytics  ramps up profitability and customer satisfaction. 

You need to prioritise and deploy the platform first and in parallel hone the culture, resources and skills to fully exploit the technology. 

Then add the means to access, join and analyse unstructured data from all the silos across your organisation. This starts with better decision making and leads on to transformed Fraud and PI solutions

The final part of a total innovative approach to boost profits and NPS further is - Digitally reformed Claims Services.

Combining the three makes the biggest impact on bottom line and customer satisfaction. :-

  1. Digital Claims Platform
  2. Unstructured Data Analytics
  3. Digitally transformed claims services

So if you are to anticipate  EY's prediction that falling premiums and rising claims costs will hit profitability   initiate a proof of concept to prove the results already being achieved by your competitors.
