Strategy and Solutions
The client was a large motor insurance provider operating across multiple regions, offering personal auto, fleet, and usage-based insurance products. While the insurer held strong market share, it faced growing pressure from digital-first competitors offering personalized pricing, usage-based policies, and proactive safety features. Traditional actuarial models based on age, location, and historical claims data made it difficult to accurately differentiate low-risk drivers or reward safe driving behavior.
Customer expectations were also evolving. Drivers increasingly wanted transparency into how premiums were calculated and expected insurers to offer tangible incentives for safer driving. Recognizing telematics as a strategic opportunity to modernize underwriting, reduce claims frequency, and improve customer retention, the insurer partnered with Zymr to design and implement a cloud-native, AI-powered telematics platform integrated with its core insurance systems.
Despite a strong customer base, the insurer struggled to modernize risk assessment and engagement using traditional methods. Premium pricing relied on static demographic and vehicle-based models, causing safe drivers to subsidize higher-risk segments and leading to dissatisfaction and churn.
Claims data showed rising accident frequency, particularly in urban environments, but the insurer lacked real-time behavioral insights to intervene early or encourage safer driving habits. Previous telematics pilots with third-party vendors produced fragmented data, limited scalability, and weak integration with underwriting systems.
Processing high-volume telematics data from vehicles and mobile devices introduced significant architectural complexity, requiring near real-time analytics at scale.
Zymr helped the auto insurer transition from static, retrospective risk models to a dynamic, behavior-driven insurance approach. By leveraging AI-powered telematics, the insurer reduced accident frequency, improved pricing accuracy, strengthened customer trust, and increased retention—all while maintaining scalability, privacy, and regulatory confidence.
This case demonstrates how cloud-native telematics platforms can transform auto insurance operations, turning real-time driving data into safer behavior, fairer pricing, and long-term customer loyalty at enterprise scale.
Zymr designed and delivered a cloud-native telematics and AI analytics platform that embedded real-time driving intelligence directly into underwriting, pricing, and customer engagement workflows.
