Producers Keep More Accounts When Loss Trends Surface Before Renewal
Producers keep more accounts when the AgentWorks Claims Analytics Agent shows them the loss trend before the carrier does. It consolidates claims data from every carrier portal, calculates loss ratios by client and line of business, identifies accounts whose loss experience is deteriorating ahead of renewal, and builds the claims activity report producers take into account reviews. The person it frees is your account manager, who today exports carrier reports into spreadsheets, and the producer who finds out about a bad year when the non-renewal arrives.
What it takes off your plate
Every commercial producer knows this story. A contractor client has three auto claims and a property loss over the policy term. Each carrier reports them in its own portal, in its own format, on its own schedule. Nobody adds them up. At renewal, the carrier declines to offer terms or comes back with a steep increase, and the producer is starting a remarketing effort in a hurry with a loss run that no other market likes.
Loss ratio analysis, when it happens, means downloading reports from several portals, cleaning them in a spreadsheet and matching claims to clients by hand. It takes an afternoon the account manager doesn't have, so it happens once a year if at all.
What the Claims Analytics Agent does, step by step
The Claims Analytics Agent starts with the carrier and client communication its data depends on, then does the analysis.
- Requests what is missing. It requests current loss runs and claim reports from carriers on the schedule your agency sets, and follows up with carrier contacts when a report is late or incomplete.
- Consolidates the claims. It pulls claims data from each carrier portal and download into one view, matched to the right client, policy and line of business in your agency management system.
- Calculates loss ratios. It calculates loss ratios by client, by line and across the book, and updates them as new claims and reserves come in.
- Identifies deteriorating accounts. It flags accounts whose claim frequency or severity is rising, well ahead of renewal, and notes which lines are driving the change.
- Alerts the producer. It sends the producer a short note on each flagged account with the claims behind it, so there is time to talk with the client about loss control or prepare the market.
- Builds the account review report. Before each account review, it prepares a claims activity report: open and closed claims, reserves, trends by line, and what changed since the last review.
- Hands off what needs a person. A disputed claim, a large open reserve or a pattern that needs a loss control visit goes to the producer or account manager with the detail attached.
Where the work is recorded
An agent that cannot record its results is a chatbot. Every carrier request, follow-up and producer alert the AgentWorks Claims Analytics Agent sends lands on the client's record in the CRM your team already sees, so anyone who talks to the client knows the account's loss story.
The consolidated claims, loss ratios and reports live with the policy in your agency management system, such as Applied Epic or HawkSoft. The next morning, the producer sees the flagged accounts, the reports ready for this week's reviews, and the carrier reports still outstanding.
What your people do instead
Your producers and account managers stay with the clients. The producer sits down with the contractor months before renewal, walks through the claims, and agrees on a driver training program or a safety change. The account manager spends the afternoon on service calls instead of rebuilding a spreadsheet. When renewal comes, the conversation with the carrier starts with the corrective action already under way.
The Claims Analytics Agent keeps the data, the reports and the alerts moving. Client service and client satisfaction stay with your people.
