Typically, the First Notice of Loss (FNOL), which is the initial step in claims processing, is usually a call centre-based service requiring extensive questions and data gathering.
Customers who have had a motor accident and are wanting to register a quick claim are usually under stress and look for convenient ways to report the claim without having to wait in call queues, noted the company.
The new initiative is expected to improve the customer experience by offloading routine calls from customer service representatives to AI-powered virtual agents.
Additionally, it is expected to cut down the entire turnaround time (TAT) in the claim registration process and reduce the wait time for filing a claim, checks on claims status, and review of policy information.
