Under­writing automation: hr | ReFlex

hr | ReFlex allows you to make an immediate and qualified risk assessment on a wide variety of life & health insurances and to issue policies at the point of sale.

Depending on your individual mix of sales channels, applications can be processed directly by the end consumer, online and mobile, through bank clerks or terminals, through agents and brokers, through tele-underwriting as well as through aggregator sites or other retail channels.

You can map your customers’ journey more closely due to a minimal set of fully reflexive questions and the inherent flexibility of the system. The underlying logic reacts to any applicant’s disclosure with contextual questions, thus enabling a truly smart application process.

Intelligent search functions guarantee both, an optimal user experience, and accurate and consistent risk disclosure. The enhanced dialogue eliminates incomplete applications and considerably reduces any requests for doctor’s reports, thus saving processing time and cost per application.
