New Insurtech Project & Funding
In June 2020, we launched an ambitious 1-year development project evaluated at $1m (£844,142). Its main aim is to offer insurance providers new SaaS features and innovative technology that has no market precedence. The project is funded by our customers and investors in addition to a new funding obtained from Innovation Norway.
Within this project, we will research, develop, and introduce three key functionalities. Firstly, an API module for secured data processing between our system, the insurance client company, and third parties. Secondly, a machine-learning algorithm that will automatically conduct a claim assessment. And thirdly, a smart pricing module that will make automatic adjustments to insurance prices based on the insuree’s current situation.
Håvard L. Nilsen, the initiator of this project, our CTO and co-founder, says:
“Despite the competing solutions offering automation features to insurers, to our knowledge, there is no available solution that would cover the complexity we are to deliver. Unlike our competitors, we will be the first to introduce a full-scope API integration, claim assessment machine learning tool, and a smart pricing algorithm. Thus, we will be able to provide cutting-edge services to insurers, increasing the efficiency of their work and claims management accuracy while decreasing costs associated with redundant manual work”.
