Problem

Manual servicing created friction, delays, and unnecessary volume

Policy servicing processes, such as beneficiary updates, were traditionally handled through paper forms, phone calls, and manual follow-ups.

High error rates led to rework

  • Incomplete or incorrect submissions resulted in frequent NIGOs
  • Additional outreach was required to correct and resubmit requests

Call centers absorbed avoidable volume

  • Policyholders relied on phone calls to initiate or complete requests
  • Staff spent significant time guiding users through forms

Back-and-forth slowed everything down

  • Missing signatures, fields, or documentation created delays
  • Multiple touch points were required to complete simple updates

The result was a servicing experience that was time-consuming for both policyholders and internal teams and difficult to scale.

Solution

A guided, digital servicing experience, accessible anytime, anywhere.

The insurer implemented Benekiva’s Digital Forms with a conversational, chat-based interface to streamline servicing requests.
