This case study illustrates how WNS leveraged its Artificial Intelligence (AI)-led platform to intelligently automate and accelerate data extraction for a leading insurer that provides coverage for vehicles, properties, general liability, additional interests and more.

As we know…

The insurance sector is evolving, with customers now holding more sway than before. Companies must re-think how they provide their services to customers, incorporating greater flexibility to accommodate changes in information and plans.

Although Mid-term Adjustments (MTA) in insurance plans have become commonplace, the process generates significant paperwork. The challenge is further exacerbated when the process is manual and involves numerous change requests.

Thus, automation in insurance has become critical. Implementing an automated and scalable workflow system that can extract and contextualize data using intelligent algorithms will help insurers improve efficiency, accuracy and Turnaround Time (TAT).

The challenge for the client was….

It processed over 100,000 MTAs annually, necessitating a colossal volume of administrative work, complex workflow management, coordination and multiple applications. The process involved manual information updating, laborious underwriting procedures and change communication with customers.

While an extended TAT negatively impacted customer experience, manual data extraction led to inefficiencies, errors and steep operational costs.

As a co-creation partner…

WNS Triange – our data, analytics and AI practice – identified workflow management as the primary challenge and proposed an AI / Machine Learning (ML) solution to digitize and expedite the MTA process.

Leaning on Triange NxT, a core pillar of WNS Triange, we deployed our AI-led data contextualization platform, SKENSE, to automate data extraction. We leveraged sophisticated AI / ML models with computer vision to extract and contextualize details from the ACORD 175 and Policy Change Request (PCR) forms.
