CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading advisory CPA firm Baker Tilly US, LLP, (Baker Tilly) introduces Quantum, a new digital claims calculation platform for the commercial insurance market. This innovative system directly addresses the insurance industry’s need for business interruption claims modernization to accelerate loss calculations, reduce costs and improve customer service. The automated, on-demand platform is based on intelligent algorithms leveraging more than 40 years of industry experience and historical loss data from Baker Tilly. The highly personalized solution can reduce claims management costs by up to 30% and deliver loss calculations in as little as one day—resulting in fair settlements and a smooth, transparent experience for both insurers and policyholders.
“Recent catastrophes and wide area damage situations including weather events and a global pandemic have put claims management under significant pressure,” said Simon Oddy, a partner at Baker Tilly with more than 20 years of business interruption experience. “Amidst rising policyholder expectations, digital tools must accelerate the claims process through data-driven analysis. That said, they cannot ignore the significance of customer experience and professional service. That’s where Quantum comes in. It balances technology and humanity to deliver automation—coupled with hands-on support—that provides a better experience for both claims professionals and their policyholders.”
With common pain points like efficiency, cost and customer service top of mind, Quantum empowers claims professionals, provides the real-time visibility policyholders expect and increases speed to resolution thanks to these core components:
- A seamless, on-demand platform automates the intake, evaluation and client reporting associated with damage analysis to increase efficiency, transparency, and control throughout every step in the process. Policyholders can upload documents and check their claim status 24-7, while claims professionals are able to easily manage multiple claims to decrease bottlenecks and boost productivity.
- Data driven AI calculations harness the power of Baker Tilly’s historical loss experience across industries and around the world. This results in unbiased, data-driven loss calculations that can be delivered in as quickly as one day for fair settlements and quicker speed to claim resolution.
- The Baker Tilly global forensic accounting team provides superior and scalable service levels to meet user needs and expectations.
