whitePaper | November 14, 2022

We all know buying insurance is hardly a gratifying experience, especially when there are several policy options available in the market. Widespread digital innovation has made it convenient for consumers to connect with an infinite number of insurers, in different ways. This is wonderful, but it also means the selection and buying process has been extended and is getting overly complicated. A DIY approach of selling insurance through agents or just relying on website sales results only in spaghetti integrations. Insurers are working collaboratively with an ecosystem of partners to cater to underserved markets, gain access to new customer segments, and increase brand recognition as well as cross-selling opportunities while building a foundation for customer lifetime value.
