Free Webinar: Pinpoint the ROI of UBI in order to accelerate
towards Mass Market
You may know that top
auto insurers Progressive, Allstate and Liberty Mutual are already using
telematics data to set lower premiums for their consumers. However, there is
much more value to be found in telemetry data than lower pricing and a golden
portfolio of drivers for insurers.
You're invited to a
free webinar that will explain how these data sets can improve the claims
management process for
all and give way for value added services such as roadside assistance so you
can improve customer loyalty. We will also discuss the details of Progressive’s
IP licencing.
Expert speakers from
Progressive, Towers Watson and Plymouth Rock will tell us how the entire
industry can widen their service offerings for their buyers and increase ROI
for all parties involved. Join us for the free webinar on Thursday 9th
May (11am – 12pm EDT).
