Hi, we’re Adacta — a leading software provider for the insurance industry. Our insurance platform, AdInsure, gives Life and P&C insurers a future-proof way to streamline their operations and processes.
Imagine if you could cut the operational costs of handling claims by 30%. It might sound outlandish, but in reality, it’s something you could achieve by focusing on the right thing – using digital technology to modernize your processes.
While insurance was relatively slow in adopting digitalization, the rise of digital technologies has started disrupting the insurance industry after COVID-19. We are no longer talking just about digitizing paper forms and optimizing operations. Instead, digital transformation is driving the emergence of new business models and revenue streams and improved customer experiences. This change is powered by innovative technologies and digital ecosystems that extend insurers' reach into new markets and open up unique growth opportunities.
This post looks at some of the benefits and gives a real-life example of claims digitalization to showcase the benefits of digital technologies powering digital transformation in the insurance sector.
As a technology vendor, we discuss the digitalization of insurance every day with our clients and partners; it is critical to speak the same language and clearly define how digital transformation is supported by our insurance platform AdInsure.
As the industry has still not settled on a common vocabulary, let’s first take a look at how we defined the terms and different levels of digital transformation.
Our mission is to support our clients on their quest to remain relevant and gain a competitive advantage in this interconnected and technology-driven customer and business environment. We help them do business in a new way, extending beyond just using technology to improve operational efficiencies and cut costs. Instead, digital insurance accelerates the delivery of new experiences and drives new sources of revenue across new channels.
We see digital strategy as a key driver for achieving three main goals.
Digitalization is about the transformation of the Insurance Value Chain
The insurance business model or the value chain consists of six key areas, from product development to services. Digitalization of insurance is about transforming these key business areas with the help of technology.
That’s as simple a definition of insurance digitalization as it gets.
The insurance business model starts with product development and sales & marketing. We see a trend and lots of interest in digital interactions and insurance product digitalization, which is all about sales and distribution through digital channels. This is an example of a feature that heavily depends on a modern insurance system that provides the APIs needed to distribute products quickly and efficiently through channels and partner ecosystems.
The next links in the value chain are underwriting and risk analysis, billing and collection, claims management, policy management, and services. Most of these can be digitalized or automated in some way or another.
For example, when it comes to underwriting innovation and risk analysis, numerous decisions can be automated through AI, which can also be used for predictive modelling and real-time underwriting.
This shift is driven by several factors, including data availability, machine, and deep learning, and real-time data processing, enabled by technological advances.
Services can also be delivered more efficiently through digitalization. Technologies, such as self-service portals, paperless services, and chatbots drive productivity and customer satisfaction. By redesigning customer journeys, insurance organizations can profoundly change how they interact with their customers to deliver experiences that meet modern demands.
Let’s look at some measurable benefits of digitalization as recorded by leading industry consultants and analysts.
KPMG found that “digitally mature organizations had 25% higher revenue growth and 31% higher EBIDTA over the last three years, 11% higher net promoter score and accelerated speed to market by 17 months”.
McKinsey study on digital disruption in insurance estimates that automation can reduce the cost of a claims journey by up to 30%. Technology investments can improve their customer retention and employee satisfaction once they no longer have to perform dull manual tasks.
A Deloitte survey found an overall 30% improvements in underwriting process after insurers moved the entire process online. In the same survey, there is an example of a Chinese insurer using automation to cut the average turnaround time for underwriting from 3.8 days of manual underwriting to 10 minutes.
Ecosystems matter as well. A study by Bain discovered that users are increasingly looking for ecosystem services and are prepared to switch providers for them. In the UK, 61% of consumers are willing to switch providers. These percentages are somewhat lower in mainland Europe but still quite high, reaching 45 and 44 percent in Germany and France respectively.
Claims are important because they are the number-one cost center (75% of P&C insurers’ cost structure) for insurers while also having a major impact on customer satisfaction and retention (EY Global Consumer Insurance Survey shows 87% of customers say their claims experience impacts their decision to stay with an insurer).
Digitalization of Claims processing allows insurers to:Improve the claims team’s productivity and reduce costs
The key thing here is to give client service representatives a single interface that provides 360-degree information about their clients, tasks, and documents. From this dashboard, they can easily collaborate with other people on their team, the agency, or their customers. A flexible solution will enable them to communicate using chat, e-mail, comments on documents, or video calls. Another important productivity driver is the ability to implement workflows that guide the service representative through the individual steps they need to take.
The technology you need
Your digitization strategy needs to be supported by powerful technology that will allow you to execute against your business goals. When evaluating digital solutions and technologies (whether for private lines such as auto insurance or commercial lines), you should look at the following:
Let’s talk a bit about our actual experience with the digitalization of insurance processes. One of our clients used AdInsure to digitalize the claims and policy management processes on a single IT system. As a result of the project, the average employee productivity working on claims settlement has improved by 112%. Before the process modernization, a single employee settled 86 claims per measurement period and after two years in production, this number has risen to 182 claims. This translates to a more than 50% reduction in the operational cost of handling a claim.
However, the benefits of digital transformation don’t stop there. Paperless document workflows mean that the company was able to roll out automated control over compliance with approved business processes. The system can generate reports about settlements of losses with minimal employee effort, providing improved insight into operations.
Communication with customers and partners has also improved. Clients can receive an SMS when their documents are ready and partners receive automated messages about settlements of losses. All this adds up to a far more efficient process that now delivers more value to the company.
Now, let’s circle back to the claim about cutting the cost of your claims journey by up to 30% we made at the start of this post. It is a feasible goal that you nevertheless need to approach strategically. For digital transformation success, you need to look at your entire value chain and identify the best opportunities for deploying technology.
These opportunities are everywhere. You might digitalize the initial claim capturing process with chatbots. Going paperless across the entire process is another option. There’s fraud detection or deep algorithmic reporting that uncovers hitherto hidden patterns.
And after you find the right one, you will be able to target your digitalization efforts on high-value areas that will power your business growth in the long term. This is what digital transformation is all about.
