The Future of Adaptive Insurance: How Emerging Technology Will Redefine Platform Economy

Adaptive Insurance Is Enabling The Platform Economy

Every now and then, a technology comes along that changes the game. Rewriting rules and opening up new possibilities.

Today a quiet transformation is underway that is turning insurance from a cost centre into a competitive edge for platform businesses. That transformation is the adoption of adaptive insurance solutions.

InsurTech’s, like Cachet, are bridging the drive between insurance and the platform economy. With an approach that delivers fairer premiums and greater control over risk management.

But what if adaptive insurance is only at the start of a bigger transformation in insurance? Future technologies are emerging that could reshape the insurance landscape like never before.

The Value of Adaptive Insurance

Business operations margins are usually the sinews of war, especially in the platform economy. And when it comes to platform businesses, like Bolt and Voi, insurance is the biggest cost on their P&Ls each year.

Adaptive insurance is a great solution for smarter operators to turn a cost-base into a competitive edge. Whether you run a bike, scooter or car fleet. It can transform operations by improving claims control and asset management through incident detection, automated claims processing, and continuous risk monitoring that catches issues before they escalate.

Adaptive insurance also transforms insurance policy distribution, shifting from fixed-pricing based on assumed risk to usage-based policies. As a result, it delivers a fairer and more flexible premiums.

Adaptive insurance bridges the gap between traditional insurance and the platform economy by building trust and delivering coverage that scales. With today’s constant evolution in technology, the question becomes: what happens here when future technologies reach maturity?

How AI Will Transform Risk Management In Insurance

While adaptive insurance solutions have already transformed the possibilities in insurance, it still primarily looks backwards. Relying on historical data and claims patterns to calibrate future pricing.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping every field, and insurance is no different. The amount of possibilities it offers are vast. When applied to insurance, AI offers a wide range of innovation that can put businesses in the driving seat when it comes to proactive risk management.

For platform businesses, AI could connect information produced by telematics, different IoT devices, weather sensors or driver profiles to produce real-time risk analyses. It could send it directly to insurer, increasing the efficiency of data sharing.

Accessing more fleet information, AI completely outpaces actual predictive capacity. This can completely reshape the premium pricing structure by having real-time pricing adjustments and no longer daily ones

In this way, AI fastens data flow management, increasing the possibility of information to analyse and connecting it directly to where it’s useful. AI empowers better insurance design with smarter ways to detect vehicle risk. It reduces the possibility of undercoverage and inaccurate policies for your fleet.

The Future Will be Built on The Blockchain

AI is considered a revolutionary shift in many sectors. But this is not the only technology transforming the future of insurance. Blockchain is also an incredible tool, protecting online data transactions at scale.

For adaptive insurance design, Blockchain holds two potential high-value use cases: data security and claims authenticity. Drastically changing possibilities and supporting a shift in trust and control within the insurance market.

Blockchain works as a decentralized digital database that stores different transactions across computers. The claims management process benefits from Blockchain in several ways. Smart contracts are self-executing digital agreements on the Blockchain. They can automatically trigger a claim payout or a policy adjustment when specific conditions are met. It could drastically reduce the delay in resolving claims.

Blockchain also works as a catalyst for AI, supporting the adaptive premium pricing. Having an independent, safe, and transparent fleet data storage, AI can easily access it and connect it with the insurer. The safety is guaranteed for your fleet and your data, while you benefit from better coverage and smarter pricing.

The future of adaptive insurance is now, not tomorrow

AI and Blockchain are emerging technologies that offer new ways of enhancing how insurance is designed and distributed. They promise to enhance data security, whilst making data itself more operational and reducing under coverage issues.

But future technologies come with an adoption challenge. For your operations, slow adoption usually leads to operational burdens and inefficiency. At the same time, moving too fast and betting too big on future technologies can disrupt your day-to-day operations too much.

Upgrading your operations to benefit the most from future technologies means teaming up with the right services providers. Partners who are comfortable operating at the cutting edge of insurance related technology.

Cachet’s adaptive insurance solutions have been bridging the divide between insurers and the platform for nearly a decade. Building cutting-edge insurance infrastructure that supports fast-moving platforms with flexibility and control.
