Use case · Claims management

Claims management software: the system changes on Monday, the claims never stop.

Claims management software touches every claim from first notice of loss to payment, so replacing it, moving it to the web or consolidating several tools changes every screen your people rely on. Desk adjusters live in it all day. Independent adjusters only log in for their assignments. And FNOL keeps coming in at the usual pace.

The short answer

How do you roll out new claims management software without slowing down claims?

Get adjusters ready on the screens they’ll actually use, at three points in the project.

Before cutover · K-STUDIO

Rehearse on a replica

FNOL, claim setup, settlement: every step practiced with zero risk to live claims.

At go-live · K-NOW

Guidance inside the claim

The carrier’s rule shows up on screen the moment an adjuster hesitates.

After go-live · K-VALUE

Watch cycle times recover

Screens where people stall, steps they abandon, teams that fall behind.

The problem

The project migrates the claims data. Nobody migrates the muscle memory.

Claims projects focus on data conversion, coverage configuration and integrations with adjusters and repair networks. Claims staff often see the new screens for the first time on the day live claims start landing in them, with the same caseload as the week before.

×Unprepared cutover
  • A quick demo of the new UI a week or two before cutover.
  • Familiar steps in unfamiliar places: every click turns into a search.
  • Independent adjusters you can’t pull into a classroom.
  • Cycle times creeping up while the queue keeps growing.
✓Prepared cutover
  • Exercises on a replica: Allianz faithfully reproduced how its claims system behaves, right in the browser.
  • Practice people can repeat as often as they need: 68 exercises, no dedicated training environment.
  • In-app guidance for staff and independent adjusters alike: 84 published items at Stelliant.
  • Carrier guidelines on screen, not buried in an email nobody can find.

Stelliant consolidates five tools into one platform and guides 1,100 users through it.

Project Kita brings five applications together in Sinergie, a single platform used by in-house staff and by independent adjusters spread across the country. K-NOW puts help right on the assignment screen, so it reaches people who never sat in a training session.

Inside a claims system cutover

Three moments, three groups, three ways settlements can slip.

Before cutover, adjusters have to relearn their steps on new screens. On conversion weekend, a handful of people validate the migrated claims. Then Monday comes, new claims arrive at the usual pace, and every hesitation shows up in cycle time.

The method

Four steps to get claims teams ready for a new system.

FAQ

Claims management software: common questions.

What is claims management software?
Claims management software is the system adjusters use to take first notice of loss, verify coverage, set reserves, assign adjusters and repair shops, and settle the claim. Guidewire ClaimCenter is a well-known example, and many carriers also run a claims management system built in-house.
What makes switching claims management systems risky?
Claims keep coming in while the change happens. Adjusters who worked from memory lose every landmark at once. At Allianz, moving the claims system to the web changed every click, even though the job itself stayed the same.
How do you train claims adjusters without a training environment?
Use a simulation that behaves like the real system. Allianz trained 7,000 employees with 68 K-STUDIO exercises in the browser, without exposing any production data.
How do you get independent adjusters up to speed on a new platform?
Put the help inside the application instead of in a classroom. At Stelliant, a single K-NOW setup supports 1,100 employees and independent adjusters, including people who never attended a session.
How do you push carrier-specific guidelines to adjusters?
Show them on the claim they apply to, at the moment they apply. Stelliant publishes routing guidelines and news bulletins through the same tool it uses for in-app guidance.
Do you have to customize the claims system to add in-app guidance?
No. Guidance runs as a layer on top of the application and is updated without a release, so it keeps pace with configuration changes.
How do you tell whether a new claims system has been adopted?
Look at actual usage: where adjusters stall, which steps get abandoned, how long tasks take by team. K-VALUE breaks it down screen by screen. For the stabilization period itself, see hypercare (in French).
