LuckyTruck and Great American Insurance Group | December 02, 2022
LuckyTruck, the tech-enabled retail agent focused exclusively on trucking, announced today it has collaborated with Great American Insurance Group (GAIG) to launch a fully digital Motor Truck Cargo (MTC) product.
Over the last decade, the commercial insurance industry, especially trucking insurance, has been slow to adopt digital products. Historically, getting motor truck cargo coverage took a trucker between one to three days. Together, LuckyTruck and Great American Insurance Group will enable truckers to obtain a quote, purchase, and bind a policy in 10 minutes or less.
"We are pleased to be working with Great American, Their financial strength, competitive coverages, and focus on providing a great customer experience through innovation aligns with what we do at LuckyTruck."
-Julie Zimmer, CEO of LuckyTruck
Great American's MTC product is fully digital, eliminating 100+ question applications, back-and-forth phone calls, multiple emails, and manual payment processing. Powered by Ascend's modern payment platform, LuckyTruck allows customers purchasing the GAIG MTC product to pay-in-full or enroll in premium financing instantaneously. After payment, the policy is bound in a matter of microseconds. Instead of sitting on the side of the road waiting days for coverage, truckers can hit the open road in just a few minutes with the coverage they need.
Truckers are often on the road during their insurance agent's typical business hours, and in the fast-paced world of trucking every minute counts, We saw an opportunity to connect with our insureds differently, in a way that better meets their needs. Our digital (MTC) product is smart, fast, easy-to-use, and accessible around the clock via the LuckyTruck platform,said Travis Murphy, Assistant Vice President of Business Development, Great American Property & Inland Marine.
LuckyTruck is looking forward to building its relationship with Great American and advancing their shared goal of creating a digital-first approach in the trucking industry.

Duck Creek Technologies and CogniSure | September 15, 2022
CogniSure Submission Ingestion API allows commercial insurance carriers quicker access to risk insights buried in submission emails and attachments such as Loss Runs and SOVs.
CogniSure AI, an Illinois-based corporation, has entered into partnership with market-leading insurance software provider Duck Creek Technologies, which allows insurance companies to exponentially gain underwriting efficiencies while enhancing their risk decision-making capabilities. CogniSure AI's algorithms extract data from complex submission documents such as applications, schedules, SOVs and loss runs into structured formats and further derive risk insights for underwriter consumption. Duck Creek customers can easily integrate CogniSure AI's Submission Ingestion APIs through its Marketplace.
With ever-increasing risk complexity and customer expectations, it's important that underwriters focus their time on risk assessment and nurturing relationships rather than manually extracting and aggregating data buried in PDF/Excel documents attached to submissions.
PropertyCasualty360 reported that commercial insurers receive roughly 100 million submissions each year; as such, underwriters are extremely selective as to which risks they are willing to work. A majority of the commercial submissions come in emails, and unstructured data is one of the biggest challenges to digitization of commercial underwriting operations.
"Unstructured Data ingestion is a big challenge for property and casualty (P&C) insurance carriers, and we are excited to have CogniSure AI join the Duck Creek solution partner ecosystem. CogniSure AI drives significant operational efficiencies and helps underwriters make better risk decisions by providing access to data that is buried in unstructured documents."
- Robert Fletcher, Head of Global Partnerships at Duck Creek
Sai Raman, Founder & CEO, CogniSure, said, We're really excited to roll out our submission intake solution for Duck Creek customers. We believe it's a tremendous opportunity to complement the Duck Creek platform and drive the automation of underwriting submission processes. We have invested significantly to pre-train our solution through large volumes of insurance documents such as loss runs and schedules to make it production ready and deliver best-in-class precision and responsiveness.
