The insurtech market is growing rapidly, and specialized
insurance provider InsuraGuest Technologies Inc. (TSX.V: ISGI) is
riding the wave of technological innovation in the digital insurance sector.
The company’s insurance systems target specific niches and is now moving to
expand offerings to a wider audience and additional revenue streams. The
company aims to move into providing software technology applicable to multiple
insuring specialist sectors, of which their current support of the hospitality
insurance sector is an example.
The different digital insurance needs of various markets
allow InsuraGuest Technologies and other insurtech companies to provide added
value by tailoring to specific needs of clients while building systems that can
be adapted elsewhere.
Approximately $16.5 billion has been invested in the sector
over the past 10 years. What is more, the pace of investment is on the
rise (http://ibn.fm/fsRXv),
with $2.2 billion raised in the first half of 2019 alone (http://ibn.fm/YWYxa). This
increase is driven by outside and inside pressure for change and more
innovation in the insurance market.
The growing rate of investment is essential, given that an
estimated 90% of the resources insurance companies invest in technology are
going into maintaining existing approaches instead of exploring real
innovation. InsuraGuest, however, is adding value by offering the opposite
approach – integrating insurance innovation and SaaS in a single flexible
package.
InsuraGuest Technologies’ platform is set up to deliver
digital insurance packages directly to partners on a business-to-business
basis, and it has the technology to expand its platform to the
business-to-consumer markets in the future. The company also allows agents and
brokers to sign up instantly online through its fully automatized agency/broker
software program. These brokers and agents then become channels to take
InsuraGuest’s insurance out to their own customers, speeding up the process of
distributing the insurtech innovator’s platform and products.
The company’s insurtech platform is already fully
operational in the hospitality sector, where InsuraGuest offers hotels and
vacation rentals easy access to the insurance coverage policies they need to protect
their properties, making it easier to arrange and deliver new insurance
products. Technology takes away much of the burden of arranging insurance and
members can buy into all the support systems they need instead of buying a
single standalone product and then struggling with making it work.
Traditional travelers’ insurance doesn’t cover a number of
things that can happen inside hotels or other travel properties, putting both
the traveler and the hotel or property owner at risk. People often mistakenly
assume that accidents happening at such a property are covered by the property
owner’s general liability or homeowner policy. InsuraGuest’s proprietary
platform delivers specialized Hospitality Liability coverages that protect the
hotel or vacation rental property which guests benefit from the property being
protected during their stay. The Hospitality Liability Policy covers a wide
range of issues, from theft and damage of personal property to accidental
medical expenses, death and dismemberment.
About 59% of property managers in Europe use a specialist
property management system (PMS), into which insurance typically isn’t
integrated. It therefore needs to be managed separately. Recognizing this
opportunity, InsuraGuest Technologies found a solution by integrating its
digital insurance with 71 different PMSs around the world, gaving the software
access to potentially deliver their insurance coverages to millions of rooms.
This way, the process of obtaining insurance melds seamlessly with other
relevant processes (http://ibn.fm/Ptvon),
while allowing for significant growth opportunities for the company in larger
hospitality markets.
