Use of Connected Technology

A large number of vehicle insurance businesses will quickly be providing vehicle insurance based on usage. The mobile phone applications and other sensors will monitor how driving happens in a UBI scheme and calculate the price charged by the businesses accordingly.

It's not just established businesses that will profit from this trend as many startups are entering the UBI game.

Tech-Empowered Insurance Agents

Sensors, robots, algorithms, and machines are equipping modern insurers. The emerging innovative techniques will empower the insurance agent to serve their customers more effectively.

The above developments show that the insurance sector can create a billion-dollar value. The key is to know how and when to use current and new techniques to unleash the essence of insurance technology to the fullest.
