Chaucer, the international specialty (re)insurance group, is pleased to announce a new partnership with London-based Insurtech Artificial Labs to deliver their next generation underwriting platform for high-volume specialty products.
The partnership will provide a smarter and more efficient underwriting service to brokers and clients by enabling Chaucer to provide a fully digitised quote, bind and issue process for policies that combines Chaucer’s strong underwriting expertise with Artificial’s advanced machine learning capabilities.
We are committed to delivering the best service to brokers and clients, and using the Artificial platform will enhance our underwriting responsiveness and speed to market for new specialty products.
Our partnership with Artificial will help us deliver our next generation underwriting platform with smarter data-driven risk selection and pricing, leaner and more scalable processes, allowing our underwriters to focus on spending more time with brokers and clients.
John Fowle, CEO at Chaucer
Damian Arnold, CEO at Artificial, commented:
We are thrilled to be Chaucer’s next generation tech partner as we work together to drive insights, opportunities and efficiencies across the business. As a top quartile (re)insurer, Chaucer demands the latest technology to deliver a better underwriting experience and, ultimately, a better service to their customers.’
Our mission at Artificial is to make insurance frictionless for both brokers and underwriters. By empowering Chaucer’s underwriters to quote, bind and issue policies digitally, we are adding real value to their business and allowing underwriters more time to focus on complex risks, where their judgement is more important, and activities that generate additional income and profits.
Artificial already has strong traction in the marketplace and has developed their market leading platform by working closely with brokers and underwriters to address their specific challenges.
Through Capita’s start up development arm, Capita Scaling Partner, Artificial has a dedicated business development team to enable it to scale rapidly and secure long-term, sustainable growth and profitability. Chaucer has worked closely with the Artificial team to ensure that the platform meets the needs of their underwriters and can accommodate the complexities of the specialist business lines that they write.
