The Insurance industry for a long long time has stuck to its conventional and traditional roots. The stakeholders in the Insurance industry till date shy away from making the digital transition. This is because of the mindset that humans are better than machines in connecting with the customers and also due to the privacy and security concern in the Insurance business. But now when everybody is riding the internet wave, people are getting comfortable with online purchases including banking products, insurance, etc which now support transparency, discounts, offers with quick and easy to use processes. Even insurance companies in India have started adopting Digital solutions with a host of benefits to the system like lower customer acquisition costs, lesser manual error/data-loss and lesser resource allocation.
But as all the industries are looking forward and preparing themselves for the digital revolution, Insurance companies have also increased their grip on technologies to adopt the digital journey. Investopedia estimates that between 2019 and 2023, the global insurtech market will grow 41% annually. This means insurance companies and agents will have to convert the traditional paperwork into applications and the calculations and collecting claims will move online.
Digital transformation requires a lot of automation and tools for smooth operation. The market for such providers in India is saturated and it becomes essential to choose the right one in order to bring efficiency and cost optimization in the system. There must be one provider who provides all the services needed, that enables faster execution, better reporting and the least coordination effort.
An important aspect of this merchant-customer relationship is the Insurance payment gateway, which comes into play in every transaction. While customers are looking for seamless ways to make Insurance payments, merchants or agents are looking for Insurance payment solutions which will reduce the security risk involved in accepting payments.
Benefits of having a one-stop shop solution provider:
- Seamless integration
- Less coordination effort
- Faster execution
- Low Cost
- Reduced error and communication gap
- Better data capture and analysis like customer behavioral, payments etc
- Increased conversion
- Extended and effective support
