Completely new claims experience
msg global develops and implements intelligent insurance extensions on top of SAP for Insurance. Especially in the area of SAP C/4 HANA Customer Experience msg global provides a solution combining traditional claims solutions together with purchase networks, such as Ariba, in order to deliver a completely new claims experience.

• Home-insurance
  ​In case of home insurance, the new approach is the following: the moment a claims happens, the insured can self-service register the claim, receive an immediate approval and immediately select a replacement item and even arranging for next day delivery. In the event of any services requirements, the customer can schedule them directly. This increases customer satisfaction and loyalty and presents a cost-saving for the insurer. 
• Car-insurance
  In the case of car insurance, the solution adds telematics and allows a telematics digital car claims experience.  Once a car accident occurs, the solution will calculate immediately very precisely the claims amount by comparing the telematics data with a database of 3 million car insurance cases.

For telematics digital claims, the solution combines a telematics data platform, called msg.Internet-of-Things-Analyzer,  with the digital car claims hub. These solutions are already used by swiss Mobiliar Insurance (msg.IoTA) and Zurich Insurance (Telematics Claims).

Key benefits of automated claims and self-service fulfillment
The msg solution based on SAP C/4 HANA Customer Experience presents unique ways to digitizing and automating claims, and fulfillment, while protecting the existing investment in core platform transformation. The solutions can wrap around any core platform to provide a self-service, retail-oriented experience to customers in the claims cycle with direct access to the supply chain for immediate fulfillment.
Customers can be engaged more effectively in a robust fashion, process claims more efficiently and at a lower cost, deliver a retail-like self-service experience, increase customer loyalty and retention rates, and increase revenues. But that is just the first stage of creating a differentiated customer engagement strategy, new business models, and new revenue streams. It also moves the focus outside of the claims process to a broader B2C marketplace, giving more opportunities to engage customers and to transition toward a full B2B insurance ecosystem.

How it works
Providing a retail experience to customers in the claims process and automating fulfillment through direct access to the supply chain, creating a basis for broader customer engagement models such as the B2C marketplace.
