Data Extraction in Commercial Underwriting - How Much Can AI Help?
Data is the lifeblood of Commercial P&C insurance, and for underwriters, it plays a vital role in determining what actions they need to take next.
Currently, there is a treasure trove of actionable underwriting data locked in unstructured documents, such as:
- Supplemental Applications
- ACORD Forms
- Statements of Value
- Financial Statements
- Loss Runs
- And much more
For underwriters to quote & bind new submissions and renewals, they must manually extract and rekey data from these documents. In a survey conducted by Accenture, P&C underwriters spend 40% of their time on administrative activities such as data extraction.
However, there are some savvy Commercial P&C insurers who have freed up their underwriters from these manual and repetitive tasks using AI and automating insurance submission triage.
According to the Boston Consulting Group, the insurance companies that lead in the digital era won’t replace humans. Instead, insurance leaders will intertwine technology, people, and processes.
This is why 25+ carriers, MGAs, and service providers use SortSpoke to augment their underwriters by combining AI + humans in the loop to extract data from unstructured documents (with 100% human oversight) in a scalable and consistent way.
