As consumers of all demographics become more comfortable with digital tools, expectations across industries are on the rise. In a time of crisis, such as a car accident or damage to one’s home, emotions are running high and the experience one has engaging with their insurer can make or break satisfaction and loyalty. Digital tools can be an important aid in making sure that customers are able to handle any need - with as little effort on their part as possible - from initiating a claim to managing policy documents. And the great news is, they can help your business, too.

If you add up all of the time your call centre agents and customers spend on billing, renewal, auto change, and claims tracking calls per customer, it largely outnumbers the time spent on first notice of loss. It just makes sense to get these common touch points right with every customer since they are the experiences that by and large shape customer experience with your brand.
