CORE INSURANCE, COMPLIANCE
PRnewswire | June 02, 2023
Clearcover, the next-generation car insurance company, today announced that it recently launched the Clearcover Agent Hub, its reimagined agent resource center in its ongoing effort to bolster the agent distribution channel.
Designed to empower agents to better serve their customers and sell Clearcover policies with ease, the Agent Hub offers an innovative experience that supports agents through onboarding, answers frequently asked questions and offers ongoing support and education.
"Providing agents with educational resources and simple sales tools is a top priority," said Clearcover CEO Kyle Nakatsuji. "We're continuing to analyze data and listen to customer and agent feedback in our efforts to deliver the best experience in the industry."
One of the more notable enhancements in the Clearcover Agent Hub is a reimagined onboarding process for agents to sell with ease and confidence. The dedicated resource serves as a way for agents to learn more about Clearcover at their own pace, including general company information, products and services, and how to start selling policies.
"Clearcover already gave us a competitive product that agents can leverage to sell more business more efficiently, and now they've made the process even easier with the new Agent Hub," said Brightway Agency Owner and Clearcover Agent Gary Silverman. "It's truly a one-stop shop to help us grow our business."
In addition to onboarding, the Agent Hub also provides an array of updated digital resources, such as new videos, relevant articles and enhanced training content.
As Clearcover builds momentum and innovation in the channel, it is also working on rolling out an agent-centric rewards initiative.
The launch of Clearcover Agent Hub comes shortly after the company announced it has teamed up with Experian to provide an embedded insurance solution as part of its ongoing effort to expand its distribution channels.

LIFE INSURANCE, INSURANCE TECHNOLOGY
Businesswire | June 01, 2023
Majesco, a global leader of cloud insurance software solutions for insurance business transformation, today announced a new partnership with Empathy, the innovator behind the leading platform that helps families navigate the emotional and logistical challenges of loss. This partnership will provide life insurers with tech-powered services to aid them in delivering comprehensive bereavement support to beneficiaries.
Empathy’s recently published installment of its annual Cost of Dying Report sheds light on the financial and emotional demands of loss, finding that the average bereaved family spends close to $5,000 on all legal matters, yet under 15% of these families have access to life insurance or dedicated funds to settle the estate. The strain faced by bereaved families presents both a challenge and an opportunity for life insurance carriers, as they work with families struggling through these burdens every day. Insurance providers are in a unique position to go beyond a financial payout and act as a source of support, guidance, and information for grieving beneficiaries.
“If you want to build a relationship of trust and generational loyalty with beneficiaries, the first step is providing valuable support that acknowledges the nature and significance of the burden they face,” said Ron Gura, Co-Founder & CEO of Empathy. “Our experience has taught us that the burden of loss is both broad and deep, and life insurers can play a leading role in supporting bereaved families as they navigate emotional and logistical challenges. Partnering with industry leaders like Majesco further simplifies the implementation of our services with insurers of all sizes, meeting beneficiaries where they are. Together, we are transforming transactions into relationships and sticking around with families in the days, weeks, and months following their loss.”
Both Empathy and Majesco provide unique solutions for insurance companies seeking to better support their beneficiaries. Over 350 insurers, from startups to some of the world’s largest insurance companies, use Majesco’s SaaS solutions to anticipate what’s next and deliver customized experiences that customers rely on. Empathy’s bereavement care platform accentuates that support, ensuring that beneficiaries have access to comprehensive grief care and helping them wind down their loved one’s affairs with full administrative assistance.
“The life, annuity and health market is evolving in its understanding of ways in which insurance providers can improve operationally and create long-term value for beneficiaries especially during their most difficult and critical moments,” said Ray Law, SVP & GM of Products at Majesco. “As a company focused on delivering outstanding experiences for customers, we pride ourselves on selecting innovative partners like Empathy to maximize the support we are able to offer to the people we serve.”
