Get smart – how AI is driving smart auto insurance claims management

With the insurance industry undergoing a significant transformation driven by advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the concept of smart auto claims management – a fully digital and automated workflow process – is transformational.

Smart auto claims management harnesses AI to automate and optimize end-to-end claims management, from the First Notice of Loss (FNOL) to damage assessment, repairs, communication, and final settlement.

The primary goal? To provide faster, more accurate, and less labor-intensive claims handling, thereby reducing the time it takes for customers to receive payouts, and enabling insurers to reduce costs and enhance customer service.

A Fully Automated Digital Workflow

Smart claims management works by enabling a logical, step-by-step process, utilizing a fully automate digital workflow. Examples of key steps include:

1. ‍First Notice of Loss(FNOL). In a smart claims process, customers can instantly report an incident using a smartphone app that guides them through the process.
2. ‍AI-Powered Damage Assessment. Using AI and computer vision technologies, this reduces the need for human intervention, and allows faster decision-making, leading to better outcomes.
3. ‍Automated Communication and Customer Interaction. Automated communication tools keep customers informed at every step. Through AI-powered virtual assistants and automated notifications, customers receive real-time updates on their claim status.
4. ‍Repair Management and Supply Chain Optimization. This bridges any gaps in the process through a connected ‘ecosystem’ that links all stakeholders in a single digital platform.
5. ‍Final Settlement and Payment. The automation of settlement not only speeds up payment, but also reduces administrative overheads for insurers, as fewer manual processes are involved.
