New capabilities, integrations with claims management vendor ecosystem saves insurers time and money, and reduces insureds’ frustration, across tens of thousands of annual accident tows
MEDFORD, Mass., April 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Agero, a market leader in software-enabled driver assistance services for insurance providers and automotive manufacturers, has re-platformed its industry-leading Accident Management product. The new platform is easier to use, has greater security and transparency, and provides time and cost savings for insurers as well as an improved experience for consumers. Featuring enhanced web portal capabilities, new open APIs and additional services, Agero now offers the most comprehensive and digital end-to-end product enabling a more integrated accident claims management and vehicle release process.
“As insurers work to eliminate every last inefficiency from the accident claims process and deliver a better customer experience, the ability to improve accident dispatch, reporting and management while saving valuable call-center time is a huge win,” said Mubbin Rabbani, Senior Director of Product Management, Agero. “We’re working with insurers that project saving hundreds of thousands of contact center minutes and millions of dollars in annual claims costs, collectively, thanks to our digital platform. Combining this digital-first strategy with Agero’s national coverage and ability to simplify and speed vehicle storage release provides insurers with a powerful opportunity to significantly impact auto claims losses and deliver customer resolutions in days rather than weeks.”
More efficient, more seamless, more digital
Agero’s platform provides insurers with a number of accident management benefits:
Creating impact today
As part of today’s news, Agero also announced its partnership and API integration with smartphone-based driving data platform TrueMotion. The company uses machine learning to transform smartphone sensor data into valuable driving behavior insights. Beyond detecting driving behaviors like hard braking and distraction, these insights include robust crash data such as location, time, speed and direction of impact, airbag deployment, and more.
With TrueMotion’s integration into the new Crash Detection API, Agero Accident Management insurance clients who use TrueMotion’s CrashAssist™ product can have accident response automatically engaged and event information rapidly imported into the Agero Accident Management portal or client claim system. This dramatically improves the FNOL experience, shortens the time it takes to deliver assistance to the affected driver, and can save insurers hundreds of dollars in claims costs.
In addition, motorists using TrueMotion’s new consumer smartphone app, Openroad, also benefit from Agero’s Accident Management capabilities – in the case of a car accident. The Openroad app detects car crashes, makes an automated call to the driver, and if they don’t respond, automatically alerts Agero responders, who can deploy accident assistance as needed.
“Our company mission is to make driving safer and more affordable. Crash detection and accident support is a huge focus area for us,” said Rafi Finegold, VP Product, Growth, TrueMotion. “Integrating with Agero’s new Crash Detection API and leveraging their services for Openroad made perfect sense. We have a similar focus and similar commitment to helping people – and helping our clients – when they need us most. We’re incredibly excited to work together.”
“Agero continues to lead the industry in embracing digital solutions for roadside and accident management,” noted Steve Medeiros, VP Client Services and Accident Management Business Lead. “From our rollout of AI-powered services to improve driver assistance, to this new digital-first platform for accident response and coordination, we are committed to delivering the scale and experience needed to help insurers speed service delivery, streamline operations and improve responsiveness across millions of driver interactions every year.”
