Canal Insurance Company | February 16, 2023
Canal Insurance Company has recently announced its partnership with CLARA Analytics to accelerate the resolution of commercial insurance claims with an artificial intelligence interface. CLARA Analytics will optimize commercial insurance claims with the technology of AI.
There is a tremendous increase in claims outcomes of commercial transportation, burdening insurers of the trucking industry. They are forced to search for innovative ways of managing claims so that they can produce better outcomes for their clients. Through the partnership, Canal will access CLARA’s Triage and Litigation modules for its commercial auto claims.
The AI-based insights will monitor these claims and filter those claims which are on the verge of escalation. The Triage module assists insurance claim managers with the best path for the resolution, whereas the Litigation module provides insights for clients to acquire amicable settlements and reduce complicated processes and the cost of litigation.
President and CEO of Canal, Paul Brocklebank, said, “At Canal, we consistently explore innovative ways to drive profitable performance, sustainable growth, and shareholder value.” He added, “As a well-established insurance specialist in commercial transportation, Canal is addressing many of the same challenges facing commercial auto insurers at large. Through advanced data analytics, CLARA provides the expertise and track record to help Canal drive better and more efficient claims outcomes, and this benefits both our customers and the Canal enterprise. We are excited about CLARA as a critical new business partner and extension of the Canal team as we join forces to embrace future opportunities in motor carrier insurance.”
