The world of general insurance is fast-paced with rapidly evolving technological advancements driving operational performance improvements for those who adopt them. Recent years have seen emerging technologies revolutionize ways of working amongst businesses, allowing carriers to streamline claims processes, make better decisions more consistently, and ultimately deliver superior outcomes.
While analytics innovation has clear benefits, knowing how to leverage these tools for success is essential. In this article, we highlight three digital game-changers revolutionizing how carriers operate, unlock efficiency, and deliver superior outcomes.
- Waypoint: Applying the Latest in Predictive Analytics
The integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as predictive analytics, has transformed decision-making processes in the insurance industry. Gallagher Bassett’s (GB) Waypoint platform, powered by machine-learning models and insurance expertise, empowers carriers to make optimized decisions at the claim, policy, and portfolio levels. By harnessing data-driven insights, carriers can achieve cost efficiencies, improve claims outcomes, and streamline operations, ultimately gaining a competitive edge.
Predictive analytics enables carriers to proactively manage risks, identify emerging trends, and develop innovative strategies. With Waypoint, carriers can leverage years of claims outcomes to make informed decisions, reduce the total cost of risk (TCOR), and optimize underwriting processes. By automating manual tasks and improving operational efficiency, carriers can deliver faster and more accurate services, enhancing customer satisfaction and retention. Implementing predictive analytics and decision support tools is critical for carriers seeking long-term success in an ever-evolving insurance landscape.
- SMART Benchmarking: Using Pioneering Data Analytics Techniques for Better Outcomes
Achieving sustained performance in the insurance industry requires utilizing the latest data analytics techniques. Analytics has become an indispensable tool for carriers to assess performance, identify excellence, and pinpoint opportunities for improvement in risk and insurance.
GB’s SMART Benchmarking platform is at the forefront of innovative tools for measuring carrier performance and uncovering untapped opportunities. This digital risk management system considers each claim’s intricacies to comprehensively evaluate a carrier’s expected performance, establishing a benchmark for success. By leveraging SMART Benchmarking, carriers can compare their performance against industry standards, gaining valuable insights into specific policyholders or portfolio segments ripe for improvement.
Best-in-class carriers use a robust benchmarking methodology, such as SMART, to build a roadmap for success. This includes translating insights into actions, focusing on specific areas, identifying the root causes of underperformance, and recommending steps to improve. This comprehensive approach empowers carriers to achieve desired outcomes, reduce operating costs, and maintain a competitive edge in the dynamic landscape of general insurance.
