Transport and the insurance industry

Overheads in managing the claims process and planning resources are key issues in the insurance sector.

Using geographic information can deliver savings in administrative and claims overheads in transport-related areas. These include:

• pin-pointing addresses;
• assisting assessor routeing to claim sites;
• scheduling appointments more tightly, increasing the number of assessments per period;
• dynamically allocating resources for claim investigations based upon drive times
• planning transport and access for all personnel as part of planning for major events.
• improving assessor efficiency and tracking response times in the light of travel distance and conditions. 
• tracking 'lost time' to improve efficiency and achieve response time targets.
• improve service to key customers by diverting staff to their claim.
