Process

Problem

The current system presents challenges for users seeking information regarding their insurance policies and the claims process. Users face difficulties in accessing all their insurance policies in one place, understanding the step-by-step procedure for claims, initiating new claims, and obtaining timely assistance. These shortcomings negatively impact user satisfaction, lead to frustration, and hinder the overall efficiency of the insurance service.

Objective

  1. Centralized Policy Management: Provide users with a consolidated platform where they can conveniently access all their insurance policies in one place. This will eliminate the need for users to navigate multiple pages or platforms to obtain policy details, reducing complexity and improving accessibility.
  2. Transparent Claims Process: Streamline the claims process by providing users with clear, step-by-step guidance. Users should be able to easily comprehend the required actions, documentation, and timelines for each stage of the claims process. This will reduce confusion, minimize errors, and expedite the resolution of claims.
  3. Efficient Claim Opening: Simplify the process of opening a new claim by designing an intuitive interface that enables users to provide all necessary information accurately and effortlessly. This will improve the efficiency of claim initiation, ensuring a smoother experience for users during times of need.
  4. Integrated Chatbot Support: Integrate a chatbot into the system to offer real-time assistance to users. The chatbot should be capable of addressing frequently asked questions, providing instant support, and guiding users through various tasks related to policies and claims. This will enhance customer support efficiency, reduce response time, and improve overall user satisfaction.

User Research

Due to constraints preventing proper user interviews, such as time limitations or resource availability, conducting meaningful research to identify user pain points became challenging. However, a work-around solution was found by engaging with customer service representatives and shadowing their calls. This approach allowed for the identification of the main pain points experienced by users, enabling the project team to address these issues effectively.

User Research

After overcoming the challenge of conducting user interviews through customer service shadowing, the project team focused on developing an effective information architecture based on the insights gathered from the research.
