Insurance Telematics
What is insurance telematics?
Insurance telematics is most commonly used to keep track of how people drive. It works by collecting, measuring and transmitting a series of data points. Usually, a small GPS module in the car tracks your location, recording a number of parameters such as speed, distance and location. Insurance telematics can also track a person's driving by following brakes and curves. By tracking drivers' driving habits, insurers can implement usage-based insurance (UBI) across their entire customer base. Armed with additional information and data, UBI programs have the potential to revolutionize the traditional auto insurance business model.
What are the benefits of insurance telematics for companies?
Insurance telematics has many business benefits, including:
- Accurate Pricing: Telematics insurance data allows insurance companies to more accurately price premiums and policies so that they truly reflect their customers' insurance risks. Correct pricing is the foundation of a profitable business and ensures price stability. Insurance telematics can help prevent large rate swings that lead to customer erosion.
- Risk reduction: Insurance telematics makes it easier for providers to collect large amounts of data and build more complex risk models to reduce their overall risk. If insurers take higher risks, they can rest assured that the premiums will cover their risk.
- Improved, faster decision-making – By integrating insurance telematics data into core systems (policy, actuarial and insurance management, billing and claims, and powerful new policyholder portals), you can make more predictable and better decisions faster, even in real time.
- Increase efficiency - Insurance telematics can simplify or eliminate tedious manual work by automating processes with accurate vehicle and geospatial data.
- New product development: Usage-based insurance programs can offer customers discounts and reward good driving behaviour. Insurance Telematics supports the new payasyoudrive (PAYD) programs that are becoming increasingly popular with customers.
