Loss Management Group (LMG) have found Mobile Messaging for Insurance invaluable for contacting policyholders and it has proved to be instrumental in efficiency and productivity gains.
Using Mobile Messaging to enhance client communications
With over 20 years experience in valuing and repairing jewellery, LMG is the largest organisation in the UK specialising in the professional management of insurance claims for damage, loss or theft of jewellery, watches, collectables, art and antiques. As well as serving the customer directly, LMG works with the UK’s major household insurers and loss adjusters to bring about fair, professional and convenient settlements.
Contacting policyholders quickly
LMG are required to contact policyholders under their instruction within a 1 hour period and found that using a conventional call was very time consuming. They decided to implement text messaging to make this part of their service more efficient.
Mark Wright, IT Systems Manager at LMG commented; “Sending a text message would save staff time and call costs and still meet our agreed service standards for policyholder contact. We chose a ProcessFlows’ Text Message solution on the recommendation of our telecoms provider.”
SMS Integration
ProcessFlows’ text messaging solutions allow the sending and receiving of SMS messages from the LAN, without the need to deploy expensive communication hardware.
LMG have their SMS gateway configured on their mail server. Mark Wright explained; “Our claims management system generates a configured text file which is placed in a default directory. The Text Messaging file processor polls this directory regularly, acting upon whatever files are present.” Text files are converted to SMS messages by the server and sent out to the recipients, all automatically. Mark added; “Integration with our solutions was not an issue. We were able to create a text export from our Access application to produce the text file for the SMS system to read.”
Mobile messaging has helped absorb increased claim volumes without any additional costs
Real efficiency and productivity gains have been realised. Mark has stated that LMG has been able to cope with an increase in claim volumes, without the need to take on extra staff in the claims management team … adding that users find the solution very easy to use. He concludes, “Our experience of ProcessFlows SMS solution is very good and we plan to make the most of the benefits to be gained.”
“The installation of TMS went smoothly and no problems were encountered. Any issues we had during operation have were dealt with speedily and efficiently by the support team at ProcessFlows“
