Claims automation: AI and software to handle high volumes of notifications

Claims handlers face growing volumes while keeping turnaround times short and service quality high. Automation, combined with AI and dedicated platforms such as OIB Solutions, provides practical levers to process large claim waves efficiently and at scale.

Take event cancellation insurance (concerts, festivals, trade shows): claim spikes can be sudden and concentrated. A tour cancellation or postponement can create hundreds or thousands of files in days. Without automation, teams are quickly overwhelmed.

Automatic document reading and classification

Each claim comes with supporting documents: cancellation contracts, invoices, proof of loss, certificates… Manual capture and verification are a major bottleneck.

AI and document intelligence can now:

• Extract key data (amounts, dates, names, references) from PDFs, images and emails
• Classify documents by type (contract, invoice, certificate, proof of loss) without manual sorting
• Check consistency between received documents and cover purchased
• Flag anomalies or incomplete files so experts focus on edge cases

Smart workflows and automatic routing

A modern claims platform runs business rules and workflows automatically: indemnity calculations, acknowledgement or denial letters, requests for additional information, escalation to specialists for complex cases.

For event cancellation, typical scenarios can be fully automated when the promoter confirms cancellation, documents match policy terms and amounts stay within limits — freeing handlers for disputed or unusual cases.

Absorb peaks without linear hiring

The goal is clear: handle surges without recruiting in lockstep. OIB Solutions offers:

• A standalone, configurable claims module adapted to each product line
• API integrations to plug in OCR, extraction, classification and third-party tools
• Full auditability: decision traceability, action history and compliance evidence
• Dashboards and reporting to monitor workload and processing times in real time

AI that augments experts — it does not replace them

Automation and AI amplify human expertise: handlers keep control of sensitive decisions while repetitive tasks are automated. Productivity rises and service improves with shorter cycle times and clearer visibility on each file.
