Claim Central’s Innovation  

Claim Central’s property division introduced Virtual Inspections as a Service (VIaaS). This innovation involves our remote desktop assessors digitally connecting directly with policyholders to inspect and assess their claims, using live video streaming and collaboration platform, Livegenic.

VIaaS allows teams to virtually inspect claims without the need for time-consuming onsite visits – saving time and effort for assessors while also protecting customers through social distancing. Instead, customers remotely connect with a desktop assessor to document the claim via Wilbur Live, allowing the assessor to provide real-time guidance as the customer live streams the damage.

Additionally, customers can easily upload documents and reports, digitally sign documents, and make excess payments – all through their smartphones.

Results during 2020, 2021 included:

• Reduction of the average cycle time from claim decision to receiving excess and signed scope of works.
• 9% of all inspection reports are submitted the same or next day of assessment
• 23/10 average customer satisfaction score on live video collaboration inspections.
• 5hr average travel time saving per inspection to and from the insured.
• 17% reduction in report submission lifecycle.
