A Tale of Two Assessments: Field and Virtual

What if we told you there is a faster and simpler method of assessing non-complex property claims that benefit you, your customers and your staff?

Claim Central has identified and successfully operationalised a ‘virtual assessment’ stream for simple/noncomplex property claims that offer convenience to all stakeholders including policyholders and assessors delivering convenience and increased productivity.

Imagine a property assessor or estimator arranging a site assessment. They’ve received the claim and completed the triage and arranged for site attendance. They’ve scheduled the next available timeslot for the policyholder and assessor within the coming days.  The assessor reviews his calendar and the travel time between site visits, while the policyholder may arrange time off work, daycare for the children and or work in between that timeslot.

They perform the assessment, take a few pictures, and drive back to the office to complete the report and scope of works, then the claim is submitted to the client for approval in the following few days.

Let’s imagine this again, but with virtual remote assessments.

Envision a property assessor arranging a site assessment They’ve received the claim and completed the triage and arranged for a virtual assessment, within seconds, have sent the insured an SMS invite to access our virtual collaboration web-based portal.

The insured accesses the customer portal with a single click and, via live stream, collaborates with the desktop assessor, who guides the customer in real-time to create the report and scope of works.

All photos, videos, receipts, and other claim-related content are synced within minutes to the portal and safely stored for any time reference. The virtual assessment was completed within 20 minutes with no kilometres travelled, with seamless connection and most importantly time saving for both the assessor and the policyholder – customer convenience at its best!


How does Claim Central achieve this?

Claim Central’s aim is to provide the best possible claims experience for clients, customers, and staff no matter the complexity, size and or location. Claim Central’s ability to ‘think differently’ based on experience and feedback from clients, their customers and staff to then create new innovative processes to modernise old traditional methods.

The ‘virtual assessment’ process is a prime example of traditional vs. modern thinking. The traditional physical field attendance is what the industry is used to and for most suppliers is a regular practice. However, with virtual assessments, this unique offering powered by streaming video technology enables faster attendance for customers, increased productivity for assessors, and avoids needless delays on simple claims.

Traditionally field assessments take longer, provide little convenience to customers and, in rural and regional areas, can prove costly to insurers – not only in dollars but resources and their assessor’s valuable time.

A standard field assessment from the day a claim is lodged to the report submitted can take anywhere between 5-12 days.

With virtual assessments on straightforward claims can take 1-2 days and it’s been proven in cases   – even just hours.

Claim Central utilises a virtual collaboration software, Livegenic. Livegenic instantly allows the customers and policyholders to remotely connect and interact with a desktop assessor and instantly view damages, engage emergency services, and complete the assessment in real-time.  Not only a video streaming product, Livegenic has multiple digital customer self-service features such as digital signature and pay gateway that expedites claims to finalisation.

Virtual assessments have been embedded and operationalised in the Claim Central claims process for over five years, where Claim Central has isolated specific perils and damage types that fit the criteria of virtual assessments.

Claim Central not only has a stream to fast-track straightforward claims, provide exceptional customer experience, and save time and costs, but also guarantees the accuracy of scopes and reports for your claims.

The importance of claims technology

We have entered a new era of claims management with rapid advancements in technology, digitisation of the claims ecosystem and changing customer preferences.

As claims technology evolves and grows more sophisticated, the insurance industry needs to stay up to date on the latest tools and technologies that can help them manage their claims effectively.

Technology at Claim Central

Chief claims officers and senior claims managers should be familiar with the benefits of claims technologies that are available, so they can make informed decisions about procuring them for their company.

Ultimately, everyone involved in the claims process stands to benefit from today’s advancements in claims technology and should also be aware of the benefits of claims technology and how to maximise its value.

The importance of claims technology

 

The insurance industry is constantly changing and evolving, and with that comes the need for innovative technology solutions.

Claims management is one of the most critical aspects of the insurance industry, and industry players must have the right technology to handle these operations effectively and efficiently.

What types of claims technology does Claim Central use?

 

To maximise Claim Central Property’s efficiency in claims handling, we optimise several technologies. This includes two-way virtual collaboration tools, end-to-end claim management tools and digital quoting and onsite tools.

 

Two-way virtual collaboration tool

Claim Central Property’s virtual collaboration tool gives our business the flexibility to overcome challenges with managing claims and ensure the best outcome for our customers. Regardless of the claim volume, location and damage type.

Livegenic is the tool that allows Claim Central to provide both our customers and team a shared workspace accessible from any device through its browser-based solutions. As a result, it’s easy to collaborate on projects with live video streaming, offline photo capture, digital document signing and real-time payments ensuring all stakeholders are kept up to date without waiting for emails or phone calls.

End-to-end claims management tool

Claim Central Property utilises an end-to-end claims management tool to manage our claims from triage to the completion of repairs. Through this technology, we unite all parties connecting the right people at the right time.

This technology also provides a central location for all administration, claim documentation, claim notes, supplier interactions and invoices amongst others. Providing a property assessing and repair service to the insurance industry without an effective claims management tool would be nearly impossible.

Digital scoping and quoting tool

Claim Central Property has introduced a seamless digital scoping and quoting technology for our assessing team to submit reports and quotes directly from the site. This means real-time report submissions, increased quality and accuracy of reports, and most importantly a shorter lifecycle of claims with earlier commencement of repairs to customers’ properties.

Without this technology, report submissions can take over a week or more for complex claims. Since introducing the technology, on average we have assessments being completed, submitted and approved all in one day, onsite and realtime at assessment.

Is La Niña still active?

This summer, Australia has been affected by one of the most severe and intense weather events we have seen in recent history. The La Niña effect has caused extreme rainfall and continues to deliver gloomy wet weather.

Can we expect the rainfall to persist or La Niña to soften and the weather neutralise as we lead into winter?


According to the Bureau of Meteorology, the dominant La Niña pattern in the pacific is starting to die down; however, that does not mean it is over.

The next phase of La Niña will press through Australia and result in higher than average rainfall for the winter to spring months. With higher precipitation comes higher chances of flooding and property damage, as we have seen over the past few months in Australia’s East.

Being prepared for high rainfall and flooding is crucial, primarily if your home is in a high-risk flood area.

Some key points to keep in mind when preparing for the La Niña:

  • Have regular building inspections and follow the recommendations of the experts.
  • Roof and gutter maintenance should be prioritised to ensure a good water flow.
  • Place stock and electrical equipment somewhere higher than the recommended level if you own a business. For a home, that could mean moving important documents or objects to the higher shelves.
  • Develop an evacuation plan for your business and employees or for your home and family.
  • Trim overhanging tree branches.
  • Secure loose items, especially in the backyard, to prevent them from flying if the wind becomes stronger and avoid the possibility of objects damaging your property.

Our support for La Niña

If you have taken the steps above, you have helped to minimise the risk of damage happening to your property.

However, catastrophic events can be unpredictable and can still cause damage no matter what precautions are taken. Claim Central are ready and able to assist with La Niña impacted residential properties. Our team of frontline staff, property assessors, make safe trades, repair trades, restorers, and engineers are ready to be deployed to the affected areas to attend to customers’ properties.

“It has been a pleasure working with Claim Central for two years now!

“I have worked in the insurance repair industry for over 20 years. In this time, I have received repair claims directly (from the insurance company) and indirectly (from an assessing company), with different claim life models used by the respective parties.  From my experience these models have generally fallen short of delivering the intended outcomes for the key stakeholders. Then I discovered Claim Central, who are different. Why? Because they have created technology platforms that encompass all the key stakeholders enabling a collaborative approach and transparency. Not only this but the Claim Central team have a great culture. I have found this approach has integrated my business with theirs, which allows us all to work as a team and allows me to concentrate on what I am good at, which is being a builder.” – Reinstate Building

———————————————————————————————–

We are entering into the fifth year of working alongside Claim Central. In that time, we have found them to be a great fit for our business.

Their continued support and guidance when dealing with claims on a regular basis has been an invaluable part of achieving our business and financial goals. The technology and support that they give us in the form of technology has become an integral part of our day-to-day dealings with Claim Central. It provides us with invaluable information regarding each claim from the customer’s details through to an exhaustive description and run down of the scope of works to be completed.

To have access to the original assessment, videos and photos (as well as the invaluable ‘mudmap’) helps us immensely in achieving a positive outcome for all stakeholders.

The relationship we have formed with their Trade Relations Manager and Repair Supervisors could best be described as invaluable. The continued help, guidance and advice we receive from them on a regular basis is testament to the fact that we aren’t ‘just a number’ but we are a part of the continued successes that Claim Central achieve. I look forward to a long and working future together. – KYDE Quality Builders

How to seek fair prices when selecting an insurance repair builder

No one ever plans to have a property related incident that results in loss or damage, but if they do, it is important that insurers help them get their lives back to normal as quickly and best as possible. Selecting the right insurance repair builder is a crucial step in the claims process in making sure that happens.

When it’s time to select contractors to repair the home, it is important that you get quotes from multiple businesses and compare prices of each.

As you are doing this, keep in mind that not all contractors are the same. Some may charge more than others for the same work or may offer lower quality repairs. So how can you ensure that you are getting fair prices for the repair?

Is the contractor licensed and vetted?

Ensuring the contractor is licensed and vetted before asking them to undertake any insurance repairs is crucial. Having a licensed and vetted trade lets you to know that the contractor is skilled in their acclaimed speciality – for example, a plumber, roofer, electrician, builder, etc.

Is the contractor aligned to insurance repairs?

Insurance repairs can be a bit different to private works and renovations. Customers’ emotions can be vulnerable, especially after a destructive event.

Choosing a builder or trade that is aligned to insurance repair work can take a lot of stress off claim handlers as they generally know how to manage customers in these situations.

Are the quotes you’re getting accurate?

Sometimes builders can overcharge you when quoting to fix damaged areas. Utilising an insurance industry-specific estimation software can give you insight into how much to expect when carrying out the repairs.

Having this information before receiving quotes can allow you to negotiate with suppliers to safeguard you and help get the fairest price possible.


How does Claim Central Property seek fair prices when selecting trades?

Competitive tendering

Claim Central’s trade panel are vetted and inducted through comprehensive training to understand expectations, technology and the industry demands.

The most prominent way Claim Central protects clients from unfair and overpriced works is through competitive tendering. Claim Central allows multiple suppliers to submit quotes through our industry-specific claim technology platform.

Competitive tendering allows us to select the most appropriate contractor for the repair job based on their costs and past performance, including repair quality and lifecycle length.

Alignment with reputable brands

Claim Central aligns our supply chain with reputable brands that offer discounts when materials are purchased with them. Offering this incentive to our contractors creates an added benefit to tendering on insurance repair jobs.

With these discounts in place, suppliers may also tender more competitively due to the savings on the materials.
