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.

- 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.

They can be electronically shared among different stakeholders for quick review and approval providing ultimate convenience to the end users.
- 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.

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.
