Desk adjusters use online solution to help shorten cycle times and provide better customer service
LONDON, July 6, 2015 — Covéa Insurance has adopted Xactware’s claims estimating solution, Xactimate®, into its property workflows to help shorten the claims journey from first notice of loss to final settlement. Xactware is a Verisk Analytics (Nasdaq:VRSK) business.
Xactware provides the property insurance and restoration industries with cloud-based solutions used on smartphones, tablets, and laptop or desktop computers with online access. Covéa Insurance desk adjusters use Xactimate online to scope, estimate, validate, and settle property losses — all whilst at the office. With this innovative approach to claims handling, Covéa Insurance has successfully improved efficiency, tightened control over claims costs, and enhanced the quality of customer service.
“We aim to provide a market-leading claims service and so are constantly looking for new approaches to claims handling that result in greater efficiencies and better service for our customers,” said Kelly Morris of Covéa Insurance. “We put Xactimate through a series of rigorous tests and found it helps our in-house claims team settle property claims faster, which translates to lower claims costs and a smoother journey for the customer.”
“Covéa Insurance’s experience illustrates the benefits of outfitting dedicated claims staff with Xactware technology that helps them work more efficiently,” said James Grant, Xactware’s managing director of the United Kingdom and Ireland. “We’re pleased that Covéa Insurance selected us, and we look forward to working with them and continuing to create new solutions that help them work faster and more effectively.”
