Build vs Buy — Insurance

Weigh SaaS subscriptions against a custom build for Insurance — see the multi-year total cost of ownership and which path wins.

What this means for Insurance

  • Underwriting still depends on PDF submissions, broker emails, and a thirty-year-old policy admin system that nobody wants to touch.
  • Claims FNOL takes 3-7 days to triage; loss-adjustment expense is climbing while combined ratio creeps over 100.
  • Fraud detection is rules-based and circa-2015; the SIU team chases obvious cases while sophisticated organized fraud slips through.

Where it pays to act

  • AI-assisted underwriting that ingests broker submissions (PDF, email, schedules) and produces a first-pass risk view.
  • Computer vision for claims — auto damage assessment, property damage from drone imagery, contents valuation.
