THE PROBLEM

Claims management is one of the most manual, costly, and time-intensive operations in insurance.

Every stage of claim management runs on people moving information across systems. Decisions are often queued until the right person is available. And the longer the process takes, the costlier it gets, and the more trust the customer loses along the way.

Hours-long manual triage

Handlers move each claim across systems one by one. At peak times, triage alone can take hours before a file is ready for an adjuster.

Back-and-forth on every file

Missing documents, mismatched data, duplicate cases. The file goes back to the customer. New issues surface. The cycle repeats.

Backlogs and rising costs

Funders stop at the first error and send packages back. Dealers fix, resubmit, hit new errors. Days lost per round-trip.

RPA is not built for this

FNOL is full of variation. Claim types, document formats, exceptions. RPA breaks the moment the process deviates from a fixed script.

Black-box AI has no audit trail

Standard AI systems work as a black box. Inputs go in, an output comes out, but the reasoning is invisible. That does not survive a regulator’s questions in insurance.

Customer experience suffers

FNOL sets the tone for the whole claims experience. A slow, fragmented start damages trust before the case is even assessed.

The Claims Lifecycle: From First Notice to Settlement.

Every insurance company runs claims a little differently. But across the four main stages, wherever the manual work concentrates, that is where time-to-resolution goes up and the process becomes expensive.

First Notice of Loss

What makes it slow

  • Manual claim capture across phone, email, and portal.
  • Claim details copied across systems manually.
  • Identity, policy, and coverage checked one document at a time.

Investigation‎

What makes it slow

  • Chasing missing documents back from the customer.
  • Manual cross-referencing of police reports and third-party data.
  • Fraud signals reviewed case by case.

Assessment & Adjudication

What makes it slow

  • Damage and liability reviewed manually, often by different adjusters.
  • Settlement calculation done outside the system.
  • Files routed back and forth for review and re-review.

Payment & Resolution

What makes it slow

  • Disbursement readiness checked manually across systems.
  • Customer communication drafted case by case.
  • Recovery and subrogation tracked outside the core platform.

THE SOLUTION 

A Digital Worker built specifically for FNOL.

Our client deployed one specialised Digital Worker across their FNOL flow, with a single job: take a claim from first contact to a fully structured, validated case file without a human touching it. The four to five hour manual cycle collapsed to a few minutes.

Before Maisa

How the claim process used to be managed.

  • Claims sat in a queue until a handler picked them up.
  • Details were transferred across systems manually from email, phone, and portal.
  • Identity, policy, and coverage were checked one document at a time.
  • Files were returned to the customer whenever something was missing.
  • Cases were opened in the CMS manually, often inconsistently.
  • Adjusters picked up files where triage had barely started.
 

Four to five hours per claim

After the Digital Worker took over

How Julian manages the claim now.

  • Receives the claim through any channel, with photographs, police reports, and supporting documents.
  • Reads, classifies, and fully understands all information provided.
  • Confirms no duplicate case exists for the same customer and policy.
  • Validates coverage against live policy data.
  • Creates the case directly in the legacy CMS, uploads a detailed PDF report, and attaches all documentation.
  • Adjuster opens a complete, validated, fully traceable file.

A few minutes per claim

In production at a leading European insurance company, FNOL responses now happen before a human has touched the file.

THE OUTCOME 

Clear ROI, measured in production volume.

Every number below is grounded in live deployment, not projection.

53% Faster claims processing

Intake and triage that used to take hours now complete in minutes, around the clock, across every incoming channel.

20 to 30% Reduction in claim handling cost

Manual hours move out of intake and into the higher-judgment work where adjusters add the most value.

98% Straight-through processing

Nearly every claim moves from first contact to a fully validated case file with no human in the loop

58,000+ Hours returned to higher-value work annually

Adjusters spend their day on the complex cases that need judgment, not on triage and data entry.

24/7 Availability across all incoming channels

Claims reported overnight, weekends, or holidays are triaged in real time. No queue. No delay until business hours.

100% auditable Every claim decision

Every case file includes a full chain of work: checks run, sources queried, signals fired, and the reasoning behind the final decision.
