This means that the customer is not required to download, set-up or install any software to their mobile devices. The only requirement is to have a camera and good connectivity to the Internet.
Once the communication is open agent, employee or staff can send actions, share the screen, take screenshots and more. The open communication makes it easy to guide the customer through the claims process or improve the explanation and illustration of the products intended to purchase.
Digital Face to Face for Dry Claim experience.
Dry Claims are characterized by a low urgency. These types of claims have happened in the past and are reported days or even months later. However there must be a surveyor that physically evaluates the damage and claim. This can be simplified with remote communication and the cooperation of the insured, transforming the process into a remote experience and reducing the involvement of the surveyor.
