The solution is designed to identify the required repair strategy based on photos of the vehicle damage and estimate the cost of repair within minutes. It can also provide immediate cash payouts and additional services such as directing drivers to a repair garage.
This new solution is expected to enable insurance companies to benefit from process efficiency and insights from the analysis of damages and repairs.
Ping An Group chief scientist Xiao Jing said: “Image-based damage recognition technology has successfully enabled Ping An to ease into claim digitalisation and automation. This solution allows our customers to enjoy the touchless claim service. I am delighted to see this proven technology taken to Europe by OneConnect and Swiss Re.”
OneConnect, an associate of Ping An Group, is a technology service platform for financial institutions in China. The company develops end-to-end solutions to help customers manage risks, improve service quality and efficiency while increasing revenue.
