Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming industries worldwide, and the insurance sector is no exception. For insurance companies, efficiently handling claims and processing large volumes of customer inquiries is a crucial aspect of maintaining customer satisfaction and operational excellence. As the volume of claims increases, insurers are under pressure to find solutions that not only streamline workflows but also improve accuracy and reduce response times. This is where companies like Simplifai can make a difference.
Simplifai has developed AI-powered solutions specifically designed to handle these complex tasks, providing companies with tools to automate the intake and processing of customer inquiries, documents, and emails.
By automating these repetitive processes, companies can free up valuable employee time to focus on more complex claims and tasks, reducing bottlenecks and enhancing service quality.
One example of this transformation is Nh1816 Verzekeringen, a Dutch insurance company that partnered with Simplifai to improve its claims management processes.
With more than 500,000 customers and a 10% year-on-year growth rate, Nh1816 handles an overwhelming number of claims across various sectors, such as home, vehicle, and travel insurance. The insurer faced a significant challenge, managing over 1,000 customer emails and an equal number of accompanying documents every day.
To address this, Nh1816 implemented Simplifai’s AI-powered automation solutions, including the Documentbot and Emailbot.
These AI tools were integrated to categorise and extract data from emails and documents, reducing the need for manual processing. Within the first week of deployment, the system processed more than 10,000 documents and emails, drastically cutting down on the hours spent on routine tasks.
By automating these processes, Nh1816 saved over 80 hours of manual work per week, allowing employees to dedicate more time to handling complex claims.
Additionally, this AI solution ensured that Nh1816’s claims department could handle sudden surges in claim volumes, such as those following extreme weather events.
The automation allowed the insurer to maintain a consistent workflow, avoiding backlogs, and reducing the need for overtime. This stability helped the company maintain high levels of customer satisfaction while simultaneously supporting its growth.
This implementation also positioned Nh1816 as one of the more innovative insurance companies in the Netherlands, known for using cutting-edge technology to enhance both efficiency and customer service.
Simplifai’s partnership with Nh1816 serves as a prime example of how AI can be successfully integrated into insurance workflows to boost productivity, reduce manual errors, and improve customer response times.
As the insurance industry continues to embrace automation, companies like Nh1816 are leading the way in demonstrating how AI-driven technology can support business growth while enhancing service quality.
