How Embedded+ is Bridging the Gap Between Consumers and Insurance Products

Insurance – a word that often fails to captivate the imagination or stir excitement. No one ever thinks about it until something goes wrong and they need it. It’s not the topic of conversation at the dinner table. In fact, most people would rather talk about anything else because, well – insurance is boring.

But could this paradigm be changing? There’s something new and interesting happening in the world of insurance – embedded insurance.

What is Embedded Insurance?

Instead of being something we only consider when we have to, embedded insurance is all about making insurance a part of our everyday lives, seamlessly woven into our experiences of buying goods and services.

Embedded insurance, at its core, represents a shift from the traditional model of purchasing insurance as a standalone product to an integrated and holistic approach. It’s like having an invisible safety net quietly safeguarding us as we navigate through life’s transactions.

CEO and Co-Founder of INZMO Meeri Savolainen talks about the proliferation of embedded insurance across multiple industries, saying:

“In the future, we will see more industries adopting embedded insurance models as consumers become increasingly accustomed to personalized and on-demand services. This, in turn, will create opportunities for insurtechs to partner with traditional insurance providers and to further disrupt the market by offering innovative, tailored insurance solutions.”

Whether we’re buying a new phone, booking a flight, or ordering groceries online, embedded insurance ensures that protection is readily available without the need for cumbersome paperwork or separate transactions. In essence, it transforms insurance from a reactive measure taken in times of crisis to a proactive companion, offering us security in our everyday pursuits.

Tech-Insure’s Vision to Transform the Insurance Industry

Tech-Insure wants to shift from the archaic version of the insurance buying journey that makes you want to pull your hair out to something more simplified.

This approach is called Transaction-as-a-Service or TAAS. In basic terms, TAAS means separating the front office (aka the client journey) from the backend operations. By treating the client journey as its own process, as opposed to the agent or underwriter process, buying insurance becomes simpler, more accessible and tailored to client expectations..

Embedded+: Taking the Journey a Step Further

Embedded experiences with Tech-Insure’s NuvoInsurance platform add to the value of embedded insurance by filling in the gaps – leaving no question unanswered.

Here’s how it works: Once a consumer has selected an insurance product through their point-of-sale transaction, they are met with a post-sales experience that includes needs matching and upsell/cross-sell support. This process makes the experience feel less transactional and more interactive. It’s meant for generating engagement and making sure all of the customer’s needs are fulfilled.

For example, let’s consider a customer who opts for travel insurance. After opting in, the customer receives an invitation to review the details of the selected product. Upon accepting the intivation, they are presented with a clear overview of the policy details for the embedded travel insurance, along with optional add-ons (like additional baggage coverage or extended medical travel benefits). Finally, the customer can proceed to checkout, selecting any add-ons and completing the purchase of the embedded product seamlessly.

In essence, Embedded+ not only streamlines the insurance process but also enhances the overall customer experience, ensuring individuals can make informed decisions and tailor their coverage to meet their specific needs.
