Zurich Insurance Group (Zurich)’s global startup programme seeks to find the most innovative startups and to collaborate with them on solutions tailored to the needs of customers and the insurance industry. This year, a record 3,500 entered the competition.
Zurich has selected omni:us as one of 13 global winners. It will join the other winners in a four-month accelerator programme with Zurich, where they will test the viability of their initiatives and benefit from financial and non-financial support, including coaching from Zurich executives, in addition to advice from internal and external topic experts.
“We are honoured that Zurich has recognised the great benefits which our AI-powered end-to-end claim automation solution, the Digital Claims Adjuster, can deliver to insurance companies and their customers,” said omni:us Chief Executive Officer Thomas Hauschild. “Zurich also recognised that our technology is scalable, and we know look forward to working with the Zurich team this year to demonstrate what value we can bring to their customers.”
The AI-powered Digital Claims Adjuster solution demonstrated by omni:us seamlessly integrates end-to-end claims automation into existing insurance systems. The platform’s AI-powered claims decision-making technology not only reduces process costs by up to 35%, but also significantly improves customer satisfaction and efficiency.
