Boost Efficiency and Policyholder Satisfaction with Assurant’s New Guidewire Marketplace Apps

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 25, 2023-- Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announced that Assurant’s new Ready for Guidewire validated accelerators are now available to ClaimCenter and PolicyCenter users in the Guidewire Marketplace.

Assurant leveraged its history of innovation, proven risk management and compliance expertise, and customer experience focus to create two solutions that streamline what were once tedious processes for insurers. Now, those solutions, HOIVerify℠ and Carrier Direct Endorsement℠, can be integrated with Guidewire to elevate insurer efficiency.

Assurant’s HOIVerify℠ Accelerator for PolicyCenter facilitates automatic data exchange between insurers and mortgage servicers to decrease required manual data exchange for all involved parties, increasing policyholder satisfaction. With this app, evidence of homeowners insurance is verified and updated real-time, improving the speed and accuracy of the process overall, and therefore, the customer experience.

Assurant’s Carrier Direct Endorsement℠ (CDE) Accelerator for ClaimCenter expedites the availability of claim funds for claimants, which allows them to begin home repairs as soon as possible. The app enables insurers to transmit claim information to Assurant and quickly receive back payment instructions. In most cases, insurers can issue a payment directly to the claimant and omit the mortgage lender’s name on the check, reducing claim cycle time, costs, and manual labor. With the CDE app, claimants can receive the claim funds they need quickly, easily, and frustration-free.

“Assurant is focused on creating seamless and frictionless solutions for insurers that facilitate better customer experiences for policyholders,” said Greg Tuttle, SVP, Global Housing Product Line Executive, Assurant. “Assurant’s HOIVerify℠ and Carrier Direct Endorsement℠ solutions modernize the slow and labor-intensive processes of the industry, increasing policyholder satisfaction.”

“We congratulate Assurant on the release of its new ClaimCenter and PolicyCenter apps,” said Will Murphy, Vice President, Global Solution Alliances, Guidewire. “Assurant’s innovative technology helps to modernize and optimize important insurance processes. Integrating them with Guidewire only serves to improve efficiency and ease for insurers even further.”
