Problem Description
In the insurance sector, the task of verifying that the policy issued by the carrier aligns with the binder is crucial yet labor-intensive. This process involves the manual comparison of extensive documents, such as new and existing policies and carrier-issued binders, which come in diverse formats and can be as lengthy as 600 pages. The traditional method requires the analysis of three documents - the current policy nearing its renewal, the binder, and the new policy - to ensure that all agreed-upon coverages are accurately reflected and that there is continuity of coverage.
Time-Consuming and Highly Manual Current Process
Previously, the data extraction process involved manual retrieval from the Binder, New Policy, and Old Policy, which was then inputted into a spreadsheet for comparative analysis. This labor-intensive process required around 40 professionals and was capable of handling approximately 10,000 comparisons annually.
The Goal
However, there was a need to expand this capacity by 15x to over 150,000 comparisons per year, without increasing the headcount.
The Solution: HerculesAI's Generative AI System
Hercules AI introduced a sophisticated data extraction solution. This system streamlined the process by requiring only two documents – the Binder and the New Policy – instead of three.
The AI-powered process could handle multiple data formats, including CSV and JSON, and was designed to efficiently extract and compare data from binders and policies. This solution significantly enhanced the insurance broker's capabilities in forms and endorsements management, handling limits, retentions, and deductibles, and ensured rigorous data validation.
Break-event Analysis
The break-even point is reached with the onboarding of the 64th client, occurring in just 2 months.
