Introducing Zen Insurance’s digital‑first car insurance
Zen Insurance begins with car insurance, supported by technology that enables flexibility across other vehicle categories and home insurance.
“Launching a true customer-first and fully digital insurance solution takes more than a strong front end, it requires process automation and robust, digitally enabled workflows across the entire insurance lifecycle to put real control in the hands of the policyholder and deliver a market-leading customer experience.” said Nick Haldane, Managing Director of Verisk Ignite. “As the market moves rapidly towards a more automated world, the ability to streamline processes, reduce manual intervention, put the power in the hands of the policyholder and respond quickly to change is valuable. We’re excited that Verisk’s end-to-end policy management platform, built for automation and scale, is enabling brands like One Call’s Zen Insurance to enter the market quickly, while delivering the flexibility and efficiency that customers now expect.”
“Digital insurance brands need to enter the market quickly and with genuine product choice if they are to compete effectively, and that requires removing the friction from insurer connectivity,” said Matt Wellman, senior director of Enterprise Accounts & Insurer Relationships at Applied Systems. “The collaboration demonstrates exactly how a single connection to Applied Rating Hub can accelerate go-to-market for a fully digital brand, giving Zen Insurance the competitive edge it needs.”
