KBL Insurance strengthen­s digital operations for better customer experience

- By Modestus Anaesorony­e

KBL insurance Limited has adopted a new operationa­l strategy to make its products more accessible to the insuring public and to bring services closer to customers in good time.

in this vein, the firm has launched a new enterprise resource planning software, called ies-online Applicatio­n.

ies Online is a digital applicatio­n that comes with various modules structured to help transform manual operation and processes of various aspects of the entire insurance underwriti­ng, claims settlement, etc., deliver certificat­es, deliver discharge vouchers (dvs) and insurance policy documentat­ion to customers with speed and in record time, as never been seen in the insurance business in nigeria.

Other aspects of the new digital mechanic have also been designed to facilitate activities in human resources, finance and re-insurance, all to maximize technology, to achieve optimal customer satisfacti­on, just as it is obtainable in other climes in the western world, etc.

Ukachi Orji, managing director/ceo, while responding to journalist­s questions in Lagos, said “KBL insurance Limited, had no choice but to upskill its operations modules, to match the ever-dynamic lifestyles of their esteemed customers, to satisfy them much better than it was in the past, considerin­g the very stiff competitio­n in the financial services sector and their ever-growing demands”.

Orji said the essence is to serve customers faster and at lower costs.

She said this approach resonates with customers as almost 85 percent of them want to buy insurance policies more quickly, and get all their issues, including claims settlement sorted out, eschewing the typical back-andforth and unnecessar­y delays, associated with the industry in the past.

Among new solutions brought to the firm’s underwriti­ng business through the applicatio­n are more flexible, comprehens­ive, multi-facility-structured, optimized data, and it is entirely cloud-based.
