SettleIndex, a UK-based automated settlement-prediction platform, has joined Guidewire’s InsurTech Vanguards programme, a scheme designed to spotlight emerging firms reshaping the property and casualty (P&C) insurance sector.
The initiative, run the California-based cloud software provider, aims to help insurers understand how new InsurTech offerings can be deployed to improve efficiency, accuracy and customer outcomes across the claims process.
SettleIndex, which develops data-driven tools to support insurers in navigating complex, high-value disputes, said the partnership would help broaden awareness of its technology among global carriers.
The firm’s platform uses scientific modelling to estimate potential settlement values at the outset of a claim, enabling insurers to reserve more accurately and reach decisions more quickly.
Robert Hogarth, founder and CEO of SettleIndex, said: “We are delighted to join the Guidewire Insurtech Vanguards community. Slow and incorrect claims appraisal can add hugely to the time and cost of resolving claims. SettleIndex uses correct scientific principles to identify probable settlement values with a high degree of accuracy at the outset of the claims journey. This enables better reserving and settlement decisions. Joining this program will allow us to showcase the measurable value our technology can bring when used consistently across a book of business.”
Guidewire’s InsurTech Vanguards programme brings together a curated group of start-ups offering innovative solutions for P&C insurers. Participants receive strategic guidance and visibility within Guidewire’s large customer base, which spans more than 500 insurers worldwide.
Laura Drabik, chief evangelist at Guidewire, said: “We are excited to welcome SettleIndex to the Insurtech Vanguards program. By fully automating the process of predicting settlement values SettleIndex enables insurers to better evaluate complex disputes, improve claims outcomes, and reduce uncertainty across their portfolios.”
SettleIndex’s system is designed to provide transparent, consistent and auditable insights, supporting insurers in meeting actuarial expectations and regulatory standards. The firm says its modelling tools help reduce uncertainty in high-stakes claims while improving long-term portfolio performance.
