What is the difference between an insurer and a broker system?

The insurer manages the product, risk and damage decisions. The broker is more often in need of a need, offers and policy administration and an insurer's answer; the additional right of decision is assessed by contract.

Does a price change have to renew all bids?

This depends on the validity of the offer and product rules. The new tariff must not quietly replace the existing policy or previously accepted commitment.

How does better damage management change the experience of an insurance customer?

The client sees more clearly what documents are missing, who examines his application and what decision has been made. It is easier for employees to continue the work started by a colleague. Repeated referrals, information adjustments and waiting stages are evaluated while maintaining the required quality of damage assessment.

Is AI necessary for automatic risk assessment?

No. The value can be provided by reliable data, product rules and managed expert assessment. The model is chosen only with a clear purpose and its quality maintenance.

Industry digitalisation analysis

Digitalization of insurance companies and intermediaries

Clearer insurance service from offer to damage

Digital maturity Typical digital maturity Shows the level of digitalisation companies in this line of business typically operate at. The assessment considers use of core systems, how far processes are digitalised, integrations, data readiness and advanced use of data. A 3 means ordinary, middling maturity. A 5 is given only where real-time data, automated decisions and advanced optimisation are already a routine part of core operations.: high
Digitalisation potential Digitalisation potential Shows the scale of business impact digitalisation could have in this line of business. It weighs economic leverage, the scope for digital impact, the scale and repetition of processes, value lost today, and the leverage of better data and decisions. A business area’s score is calculated from five weighted dimensions. A sector’s score is derived from the scores of its business areas.: 76/100
Biggest challenge: Product and pricing rules are hard to change
Biggest opportunity: Clearer examination of damages and fewer document revisions

Operating model

The insurer determines the terms of insurance and makes decisions that belong to it. The broker helps the client choose and administer the contract, and performs the additional functions delegated under the granted powers.

Non-life insurance

The insurer determines the terms of property, transport or liability insurance and deals with damages. The assessment of the event uses the protection in force for a specific contract and period.

Life and health insurance

The contract separately specifies the policyholder, insured and beneficiary. Only the contract and health data required for their work are provided to specialists.

Insurance mediation

The broker finds out the client's need, compares offers and passes documents to the insurer. The insurer confirms the conditions and decisions that the broker is not authorized to make.

Insurer-authorised administration

The company can administer risk assessment or damages under the authority of the insurer. The employee sees what product and what extent of decision he is allowed to make.

Market context

Insurer, broker and damage administrator work with the same client but make different decisions. It is important for the buyer to understand the terms of protection, the course of replacement and the state of the damage examination. The service must be based on the relevant policy and rules approved by the insurer.

Comparing the terms of insuranceThe price must be assessed along with the risks, exclusions and deductions covered.
Clarity of the injury hearingThe client needs to know what documents are missing, who is dealing with the damage and when the next action is scheduled.

Workflow and responsibilities

Need and Proposal

The customer's situation, product conditions and price version are determined.

Risk Acceptance

The mandated process evaluates the case, exceptions and applicable safeguard clauses.

The Policy and Amendments

The insured person or object is indicated by the protection and its validity.

Registration and assessment of damage

The case-by-case determination of the application of protection, and the evidence and action required.

Decision and financial execution

Individually, damage resolution, partial payment and a genuine payment result are recorded.

Digital maturity scale

Separate records and manual work

Information is mainly held in separate files or notes. Employees pass it on and reconcile it manually.

Organised data within individual teams

Teams record their work consistently, but sharing information with colleagues still requires considerable manual checking.

Partially integrated systems

Core work is managed in systems. Some information is transferred automatically, but repeated data entry remains.

Coordinated systems and teams

Systems deliver the required data on time. Employees can see unfinished work and know who is responsible for resolving discrepancies.

Continuous measurement and improvement

The team checks data quality, evaluates results and uses them to improve operations. Automation is applied where its value can be demonstrated.

Executive conclusion

Customer service requires seeing a specific contract, an insured person or object and the conditions in force. Missing documents, assessment and clear response to the customer are important in the injury examination.

Common digitalisation challenges in this business activity

Product and pricing rules are hard to change

High

Product protection and price rules are changed across multiple channels without a harmonised version and application conditions.

Consequences: For the same presentation, unexplained differences in bids are obtained or a new rule is applied to an improper contract.

The relationship between the customer and the insurance contract is unclear

High

The policyholder, insured, object and policy version are differently linked in service sources.

Consequences: An employee mistakenly selects a contract or searches for additional information that is already available for a legitimate purpose.

The risk assessment exception does not reach clear terms of the proposal

High

Individual insurance case data, model result and expert decision are kept separate. The sales team does not always see what protection conditions have already been approved.

Consequences: The buyer waits longer for the offer or receives a condition that has not yet been agreed upon. Later, when changing it, the price and limits of protection must be reinterpreted.

The damage report often lacks the necessary data

High

In the injury submission, it is unclear what the fact of importance to a particular event is missing and who has already requested it.

Consequences: The client receives repeated requests and the start of the examination is unduly delayed.

The Damage Solution Fragmented

High

The damage case does not link the assessment of protection, the expert's conclusion, the decision on the benefit and the payment made.

Consequences: The case closes too soon or it is unclear to the customer which part of the damage is still under consideration.

Fraud signals not integrated with the damage process

High

The risks identified in the injury study do not reach the decision on the specialist making the benefit or it is unclear how it is assessed.

Consequences: The decision on the benefit is made without all relevant data being available or the examination of the damage is suspended without a clear justification.

Data exchange between intermediaries and partners fragmented

High

The partner's submission and the insurer's response are not linked to a single offer, policy change or task.

Consequences: The data is re-transmitted, and receiving the submission is confused with accepting the insurer.

The basis for applying the risk model fails to reach a solution

Medium

The version of the model used and its limits of verification and application are not linked to an individual case assessment.

Consequences: It is difficult to recreate a solution or to notice that the model has been used for an unverified group or purpose of customers.

Opportunities

Opportunities to improve operations

Biggest opportunity

Clearer examination of damages and fewer document revisions

The specialist sees a valid insurance contract, documents received and previous actions at the damage. Missing information is asked for specifically, and the client is presented with the current state of examination and solution.

Fewer document retrieval in correspondence
Faster transmission of applications to professionals
Less customer questions about the course of the examination
Clearer Damage Solution Helps Maintain Confidence in Insurance Service

Business impact assessment

Potential operational benefitsAn employee can find a policy history, insurer's answers and damage documents more quickly.
Why the problem mattersA faulty version of the policy or conditions may affect the proposal and the damage assessment.
Implementation dependenciesIntegrations need to preserve the results validated by insurer pricing, risk and contract systems.
Satisfaction with insurance serviceIt is important for the client to get a clear answer about the contract or damage, and for the broker to conveniently continue working with the insurer. Service evaluation is separated from the amount of benefit or favor of the decision.

How to solve these problems

Solution directions linked to specific business area problems they address.

Problem

The relationship between the customer and the insurance contract is unclear

An employee mistakenly selects a contract or searches for additional information that is already available for a legitimate purpose.

Solution direction

Insurance customer service workspace

The service worker finds the customer's insurance contracts, insured objects and permitted claims information. Clearly seen by the policyholder, insured and beneficiary.

Problem

Product and pricing rules are hard to change

For the same presentation, unexplained differences in bids are obtained or a new rule is applied to an improper contract.

Solution direction

Insurance product and pricing rule integrations

The rules on products and pricing approved by the insurer are passed on to sales channels. The proposal preserves the conditions used, and the contract is approved by the insurance system used.

Problem

The risk assessment exception does not reach clear terms of the proposal

The buyer waits longer for the offer or receives a condition that has not yet been agreed upon. Later, when changing it, the price and limits of protection must be reinterpreted.

Solution direction

Insurance underwriting workspace

Criteria for assessing the investment

Investment justified

Brokers and other partners make requests, but do not see if the insurer has accepted them and what response is expected.
When serving a customer, it is necessary to link the policyholder, the insured, the object insured and the contract in force during a specific period.
Insurance rates and product conditions are updated in several sales channels.
The conclusions of the risk assessment, the additional exemptions and their approvals are combined separately.
Customer documents, expert findings and partner responses need to be collected from multiple channels.

Implementation requirements

The scope of insurance processes is determined by the company's mandate to develop a product, accept risk, administer damages or mediate. Common data relationships are combined with insurer systems and clear decision liability.

Non-life insurer

Align product versions, offers and claims solutions with the available insurer system.

Life and Health Insurer

Describe the relationship and limits of access between policyholders, insureds and security changes.

Insurance intermediary without risk acceptance mandate

To determine the transfer of client requests to the insurer and the return of real answers to the intermediary.

Contracted Risk or Damage Administrator

To approve the limits of delegated decisions and the course of exceptions requiring review by the insurer.

Key implementation requirements

Partner's powers

The partner channel communicates the customer's need, the actions and responses he or she has provided. The insurance product, risk and damage decisions can only be made by the partner with specific authority from the insurer.

Product and Risk Rules

The product and pricing rule returns a versioned basis for the offer; risk acceptance governs the individual case exception and the limits of the model used.

Model maintenance

Model maintenance does not replace an individual insurance solution. In this kit, both are linked in a single risk assessment process, and specialized model validation may remain at its source.

Policy Data

For service, customer and contract data from the systems that handle them are combined. The accounting of policies and claims continues in dedicated systems.

Application of protection

Damage protection may be important for event, claim, and notice times under a specific contract; the day of the event alone and today's policy state are not enough for all products.

Roles of Persons

The policyholder, the insured, the beneficiary and the claimant for damages are not a universal single client; their data and the rights of action are verified for a specific purpose.

Confirmation of payment execution

The decision of payment, the order of payment and the payment actually made vary. An additional investigation or partial payment must not erroneously complete the entire case of damage.

Operational performance indicators

Condition Searchworking minutes

To measure the recovery of a version of a proposal or policy applied.

Remaking Damagesnumber of cases

Counting cases corrected for faulty version of protection or lost proof.

Delay in confirming damages paymentdays

Separate the timing of the decision from the waiting for the payment to be executed.

Part of the client's questions solved through first contact%

Solved questions are divided by all predefined issues of normal service. Issues requiring risk or damage resolution are assessed separately.

Part of negative feedback on broker requests processing%

When a company starts collecting reviews, negative reviews about the broker's processing of requests are counted from all assessments received on the topic. The same method of evaluation is applied before and after installation and similar customer groups are compared. Without initial data, the actual change is not determined.

Key risks
