1. Motor Claims Management Revs
Up Customer Satisfaction
Increasing customer sophistication is resulting in rising service expectations. In this infographic, IDC shows how motor
insurers can enhance services to differentiate themselves in a business environment where 80% of policyholders think
products are highly commoditized, undifferentiated, and with no clear market leader
2. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION:
POWERFUL DRIVER OF LOYALTY, BRAND ADVOCACY
More emphasis on claims management
Claims are not only motor insurers' largest
spend, but a crucial opportunity to deliver
positive brand impressions, and develop
stronger customer relationships
Beyond pricing and branding
70% of policyholders actively seek insurers
with good claims services
Deteriorating customer satisfaction levels
Services (as measured by turnaround time,
convenience, accuracy of handling, empathy and
care, and fairness of settlement) are lagging
behind expectations
Low satisfaction reinforces intentions
to change providers at renewal
40% of “Moderately Satisfied” claimants are
switching providers against less than 10% of
those who are “Very Satisfied”
[Satisfaction level is 1 to 10 where “Moderately
Satisfied” is 6 or below, and “Very Satisfied” is at
least 9]
Delighted customers become brand
ambassadors
Delighted claimants (satisfaction levels of
at least 8 out of 10) are 5 times more likely
than the average policyholder to make a
positive recommendation

3. TYPICAL MOTOR CLAIMS PROCEDURE
Claims traditionally involve various point-to-point interactions (using email, fax, phone and courier) across multiple independent companies
This creates a lack of overall process visibility and progression tracking, communication errors and inefficiencies
