Qnect IRP - a market-leading product that meets evolving
customer needs
Proprietary and privileged information for the award nomination only
Time-intensive - Renovation can be a last-minute project for many home or shop
owners. Most of property management companies will require proof of insurance
before they allow renovation works to start. Hence, customers will need their
certificates of insurance (COIs) immediately to avoid any delay.
Administrative burden - Managing COIs can pose an administrative challenge.
Most of products from insurance companies are either paper manual or only
digital sales product with no digital COIs being available. . The manual process
can easily become a resource draining problem.
Digital disruption – The sudden shift to remote work has put pressure on
business continuity of insurance industry. Adoption of remote signing and
customer servicing technologies are accelerating.
