Free Webinar: Pinpoint the ROI of UBI in order to accelerate towards Mass Market
You may know that top auto insurers Progressive, Allstate and Liberty Mutual are already using telematics data to set lower premiums for their consumers. However, there is much more value to be found in telemetry data than lower pricing and a golden portfolio of drivers for insurers.
You're invited to a free webinar that will explain how these data sets can improve the claims
management process for all and give way for value added services such as roadside assistance so you can improve customer loyalty. We will also discuss the details of Progressive's IP licencing.
Expert speakers from Progressive, Towers Watson and Plymouth Rock will tell us how the entire industry can widen their service offerings for their buyers and increase ROI for all parties involved. Join us for the free webinar on Thursday 9th May (11am – 12pm EDT).
