Success in the insurance industry stems from trust, convenience, and compliance. Insurance companies are always on the lookout for solutions and technologies that simplify and streamline their processes, enhance customer experience, and maintain low costs. However, with the mushrooming growth of these insurance agencies, the industry is becoming a battlefield to survive, grow and succeed.

In such a fiercely competitive business landscape, if you have complicated processes, traditional methods of customer communication, and an unresponsive support system, your customers might find their way to a more customer-centric provider offering better CX.

Customer Communication Platform or CPaaS for Insurance Industry

Communication Platform as a Service (CPaaS) is a readily adopted, innovative, flexible, and scalable solution that is helping insurance companies take their customer experience to the next level. Its deployment not only automates the process but also improves the user-agent experience for increased customer loyalty.

This omnichannel platform brings all communications – messaging, calling, video calling, social media messaging, and much more – under one roof so that you can reach out to your customers anytime with ease and accessibility. Also, the flexible APIs and programmable SDKs enable your developer or system integrator to embed real-time communication features into your application with ease and efficiency.

Benefits of Communication Platform as a Service (CPaaS) for Insurance Industry

      1. Add convenience to insurance claim and renewal process
        Claiming insurance or requesting renewal is often a complex process requiring a lot of documentation, verification, and communication among different departments. The on-site visit for a home or auto insurance claim is also a time and cost-consuming process.

        However, if your insurance app is CPaaS enabled, you can simplify the entire claim process and renewals through video calling, conferencing, instant messaging, and digital exchange of documents. They can be electronically shared among different stakeholders for quick review and approval providing ultimate convenience to the end users.

      2. Keep your customers engaged and informed
        Maintaining and expanding customer relationships is key if you want to further your business with an existing customer. And with the ever-increasing expectations of customers, if you are still sticking to the traditional mode of interaction over phone calls, you might irritate the customers who have their preferences now.Utilizing CPaaS for insurance, you can connect with an insurer or a customer over multiple channels like SMS, WhatsApp, email, Chatbot, IVRS, social media, or push notifications.Customer engagement done through an omnichannel communication strategy using these channels is far more effective in yielding positive business results.

  1. Offer consistent customer support and encourage self-service

    Satisfactory customer support is one of the defining factors of customer retention. Imagine how frustrating it could be for a customer to be put on a long “hold music” or for the number to be unreachable when in need.

    Automating your communication or utilizing various channels like a chatbot or IVR can help your customers self-serve, get answers to their queries through access to FAQs, check claim status, submit documents on their own, or edit a few details without requiring any face-to-face appointment with an agent.

    This not only enhances the customer experience but also cuts the administrative bloat, keeps your agents free, and improves transparency benefitting agents and customers both.

      • Messaging channels for educational campaigns: There is a lack of unawareness and knowledge about insurance products and their benefits. With the right kind of communication tools like SMS, WhatsApp, or social media platforms, you can educate your audience, resolve their doubts, and guide them as to what type of insurance is the best for them.
      • Register your USPs: The market flooding with endless insurance products creates some obvious confusion and ambiguity while requiring you to make a choice. A consistent messaging campaign highlighting the USPs of your company can design a brand narrative positioning your brand over others for the given USPs. Make sure to craft a robust omnichannel communication marketing
      • Build your reputation: Adopting a holistic communication strategy and running branding campaigns can help you position your brand, gain credibility and top-of-mind brand recall among your potential customers which is the key to future sales.Build brand and ensure consistent growth 
  2. Remove silos in internal communication

    Though customer communication forms an integral part of any organization’s growth story, what remains underrated, but equally important is the need for strong internal communication. Your employees should be on the same page regarding the introduction of any new product, change in policies, updates on old programs, and other vital information they require to do their jobs.

    Apart from these, an organization should also engage in building strong relationships with employees by messaging them on birthdays, festivals, new year, or other occasions. This helps nurture a healthy work environment and can positively impact morale.
