Digital Claims Telematics
IMS Connected Claims Solution
The industry-first, claims-focused telematics solution to drive loss ratio improvement.
There’s no denying that the insurance landscape has rapidly changed. The digital age has given insurers new tools for determining who, and what, represent the greatest risks and costs to their customers and their bottom line.
Consumers want quicker underwriting and claims experiences. Senior-level insurance executives recognize the importance of digitalizing auto claims as a top priority. But too many Insurers are fixated on crash detection and missing the bigger picture of what is truly possible. What is your organization doing to improve the claims experience and bring claims costs under control?
Solution Overview
How to Evaluate Your Competition
Your claims management process has a unique place in determining your competitiveness as an insurer.
Escalating claims costs are separating profitable insurers from unhealthy businesses on both the personal and commercial lines sides.
Claims costs consume nearly 80% of policyholder premium in the form of claims payments or processing costs.
The claims experience represents the moment of truth when insurers either delight (retain) or disappoint (lose) customers.

IMS’ Connected Claims telematics solution is a low-cost suite of telemetry-based services that transforms collected telematics data into appropriate analysis that positively impacts the policyholder experience and an organization’s claims costs. IMS’s Connected Claims solution includes ongoing training and implementation consulting, along with expert support services.
With over 10 years of global experience in claims telematics programs, IMS’ use of telematics data poses the best and most economical entry point into your claims digital transformation journey – at an area of affordable cost and immediate ROI to your existing claims operation.
