Businesses must keep up at a frenetic pace in today’s digital age. With various players differentiating themselves in the market, it becomes imperative to add value to your product or service offering. Insurtech has taken up the mantle to ensure that our lives and purchases are more secure by offering embedded insurance solutions. The question then is what to look for in your embedded insurance partner. Let’s get right into it:
Is your current sales flow deviating because of embedding an insurance product?
Imaging buying a pair of spectacles that are covered by an embedded Insurtech partner. Customers get a replacement in case their pair of spectacles are broken or damaged. While the end-solution sounds good it is the implementation where issues might arise. For example, deviating from the current journey that customers use to buy their spectacles may alienate them instead of adding value. It is therefore essential that integration with your preferred Insurtech happens seamlessly and that the insurance buying process is integrated with current purchase flows.
Does your partner provide complete support for claims?
Claims is an area that can make or break the customer experience. The last thing your customers want is a tedious claims process that adds to their distress. The partner should have a claim process which is seamless, accessible and keeps the customer updated about the status of the claims. Using OCR technology to verify damage and documentation can reduce the turnaround time for claims.
