Inside Scoop: Insurer Decision Making Process

Insurers entering the market have a lot of considerations when devising their strategies to integrate telematics technologies into their policy portfolio. We discuss the key decisions to be made.

• Take a look at the market segments such as young vs. older drivers, rural vs. city driving to ascertain which lend themselves to insurance telematics solutions and target your product
• Understand the battle of low vs. high hardware costs resulting in poor vs. accurate data quality respectively to decide which factor is more important for insurers between price and data
• Discuss which driving characteristics such as speed, braking or time of day truly pertain to risk and the level of data granularity required to ascertain the essential features of a device

Paul Middle, Telematics Lead, RSA

10.00 - 10.35am
The Impact of Gender Ruling

The gender ruling is now in effect, changing the way insurers are able to assess risk and rate their premiums. We discuss the opportunities this creates for telematics solutions.

• Identify consumer segments most affected by higher prices such as young female drivers to devise marketing strategies that will entice them towards telematics solutions
• Discuss the possibility of other discriminatory parameters such as age being out ruled as risk factors to identify future opportunities for telematics within the auto insurer community

11.05 - 11.40am
The Nuts and Bolts of Fleet Insurance Solutions

Commercial insurance telematics systems differ vastly from personal lines, having to take into account differing device reporting frequencies, vehicle types and weight.

• Analyse the data sets such as mileage that may exceed the value personal line solutions are able to measure to ensure systems are aligned and underwriters can assess the risks correctly
• Discuss the different fleets such as blue light, taxis, inner city delivery and long distance haulage to determine the differences in their driving behaviours and risks associated with each
• Determine the added services that offer significant value to fleet operators such as fuel efficiency to incorporate these into solutions and increase customer buy-in

Discussions around data standards for insurance telematics products have been prevalent in the market for a while. We discuss if they will be a benefit or a hindrance to mass market adoption.

• Debate if every solution collecting a minimum set of data such as mileage and braking will propel the industry to mass adoption or hinder innovation to build industry consensus
• Discuss data sets such as speed, time of day and distance that could sit at the core of all insurance solutions to allow consumers to benefit from sharing their data with their next carrier
