Nest Innovative Solutions: Omnichannel distribution with a focus on reducing cost-per-policy


Nest Innovative Team

The key influencer in Insurance sector has been the paradigm shift in customer’s expectation. Prospective policyholders expect to know the coverage options, the comparative prices, the track record of their service providers and much more before purchasing. They also expect to see a 24X7, quicker, transparent and time-bound resolution of their claims or policy service requests.

To respond to this growing need, the Insurance companies, brokers as well as aggregators, all are invariably moving towards a more “digital” business model. Insuretech operations are opening up, slowly chipping on the market share of conventional players. Because of the low insurance density, and because of the resulting perception around a tremendous headroom for growth, distribution channels are continuously evolving.

Established in December, 2011, Nest Innovative Solutions believes that insurance service providers need to achieve omni-channel distribution at ten times of current scale with one tenth perpolicy cost. Also, with its insights on the current dynamics of the insurance sector, the company understands the significance of conventional intermediation and aims to bring quality and efficiency to improve its current state. The company delivers business solutions for insurance service provider’s needs using its packaged, insurance specific software assets working at the top of a blue-print of open-source community edition platforms. Over last few years, it has been implementing mobile quoting apps, mobile claims apps, insurance specific CRMs, claim solutions, renewal solutions, agency management systems and insurance back office for specific lines of business in USA, GCC countries and Indian sub-continent.
