These two modules enable insurers to have enhanced, meaningful conversations and seamless handoffs between AI enabled bots and live agent engagement. The releases were created to help insurers access the numerous advantages of tailored, personalized experiences, which Sapiens says are enhanced by the added benefits of daily process automation, operational efficiency and the ability to engage with multiple customer segments, across multiple channels.
“With BotConnect and LiveConnect, Sapiens continues to further enhance the capabilities insurers need to remain responsive to the digital insurance initiatives that incorporate tech and data advances,” comments Colleen Wells, VP, Global Digital Product Strategy, Sapiens. “Sapiens enables insurers to promote more personalized communications and meet increased customer expectations.”
Sapiens says its module-based DigitalSuite enables insurers to select the specific components that address the challenges unique to their business needs, essentially delivering digital their way. The ability to mix and match components provides exceptional value and allows carriers to transform current technology into a future-ready solution at their own pace, the vendor says. DigitalSuite allows insurers to attain their omnichannel objectives by leveraging next-gen technologies, specifically with AI and chatbots.
Sapiens BotConnect is designed to increase value by gaining deeper understanding of customer interactions, drive upsell and cross-sell opportunities with AI enabled recommendations for new products & services, and support business continuity with 24/7 x 365 access. Insurers can rapidly implement BotConnect to chat on a variety of channels (including WhatsApp, FaceBook messenger), serve customers 24/7/365 and improve resolution time for internal CSRs, according to Sapiens. The vendor says that its clients can unify all communications with LiveChat’s communication manager, assign work to CSRs based on skills and use analytics to improve customer communication.
