INSURANCE IS FACING
ITS UBER MOMENT
It’s time for insurers to reclaim their
sector
As new technology such as smart homes and autonomous vehicles
develops, general safety increases and risk decreases forcing insurers
to revise their strategic plans. The coming era of connected technology
has already brought risk transparency and dynamic pricing models to
the insurance sector, and with further trend shifts imminent, it’s time for
insurers to adapt in the short, medium and long term.
THE CHALLENGER:
The InsurTech industry
What’s more, a serious challenger is also occupying the market, the
InsurTech industry. It has already raised $2.12 billion since 2010 and the
new generation are taking it seriously – almost half of Gen Y consumers,
and 36% of the rest of the market in developing AsiaPac state that they
would be likely to buy insurance from a technology company.
Further, Gen Y customers have been found to communicate more with
their insurers and 37% use digital channels for this at least once a month,
understandably preferring technology companies with more convenient
interactions and greater brand value.
Trend Shifts:
Risk transfer -> Risk mitigation/avoidance
Statistic models -> Direct customer data
Single policy -> Shared ownership

ANALOGUE
SERVICES
Today insurers sell insurance as a product, tomorrow they will sell insurance as a service.
Insurance as a service has adjacent value-added services connected which create
personally identifiable data that can be used to further enhance the experience of the
customer and build relationships not just transactions.
It’s this access to personal data that will allow an insurer real competitive advantage
– not from a different feature or different price point, but from the realisation of hyper-
personalisation.
Case Study: Travel insurance as a product is uninspiring but a commodity, making it
often a grudge purchase. It is required for typically a few weeks per year and is entirely
transactional. For the rest of the year, there is no infrastructure built around engagement.
This creates no experience or relationship.
However, if you breathe life into that product by creating a service around it, for example
one where families could be provided with a personal safety wearable and an app that
allows them to set geo-fences for their children when at the airport, hotel and when out
and about on holiday, that creates a new, customer experienced-based brand that does
not exist at present.

MAGPIE FOR
INSURERS
An alternate source of revenue
for insurers could be to develop
an ecosystem of services for the
customers in which the poilcy is part
of an offering.
Guido Sommella, Amissima Assicurazioni
SPEED
Magpie was specifically set up to bridge the gap
betweeninnovatorsandtheestablishedbusinesses,
many of whom are insurers who’s current time
taken to deploy new digital technology is having
negative or no impact as the time taken to execute
is slower than the change around them.
At Magpie we can rapidly deploy new digital
technology on behalf of our partners, helping them
gain pace on implementation from months and
years to days and weeks.
CUSTOMER FOCUSED
With an ecosystem that holds the consumer at
the centre, Magpie is proud to be able to help
our partners encourage usage while enhancing
their customers’ interactions with the business,
breathing life into traditional insurance services.
Not only do our engaging services increase
customer satisfaction, we can also help insurers
to keep their customers year on year through our
innovative add-ons such as personalised video and
in-app notification messages.
REVENUE
Many insurers opt to offer customers a low cost
bundle of services and then upsell and cross-sell
additional services, devices and features creating
consistent non-risk income.
The data insight provided by getting to know
customers through the app gives a new level of
knowledge to insurers about risk, and allows risk
mitigation and dynamic pricing to become possible.
INNOVATION
Creating a bespoke bundle of services is simple
with Magpie’s App Store for Business, choosing
from apps, digital devices and assistance services
and deploying all under one ‘always on’, white
labelled Life Manager app on their smartphone.
In-app notifications creates a brand new, low
cost sales and communications channel to your
customer base, especially important for Gen Ys.
Insurance companies could
(a) Verticalize - i.e., start
to sell to the customer the
services above and below
you in the food chain.
E.g., Pet wearables - Pet
insurance - Pet hospital,
vetinary practice or you
could (b) Horizontalize - i.e.,
sell services that are directly
related to that product e.g.,
Pet insurance and then sell
Pet grooming services, Pet
food, Pet toys etc. (c) Look
at new partenrships.

TRIP PLANNER
Trip Planner lets users keep track of, and manage their travel itineraries
(business or personal) by forwarding booking confirmations to the app and
getting flight, airport, duty free and useful destination information such as local
guides, restaurants and leisure.
When insurance companies offer their customers Trip Planner as part of the
Life Manager app, they become aware and included in travel arrangements
when they previously have been excluded.
This allows the opportunity to:
Provide travel insurance
Offer FOREX in the currency of the travel destination
Sell other relevant underwritten services such as Emergency Cash or
card fraud insurance
Promote smart luggage tags and tracking devices
Suggest personal safety services for child travellers

In India, we have accumulated thousands of new insurance customers for our partners
via a programme that has been running for just over a year. The Fone Essential
ecosystem connects insurers with customers who have just bought a phone or
changed their call plan, using these events as a trigger for conversation.
From the App Store, Fone Essential customers get insurance, mobile anti-virus and
anti-theft and a digital documents store all powered by Magpie. Clients wanting to
add tangible value to their proposition can add an anti-loss device that connects the
phone with the wallet, enabling one to be searched for with the other.
Working with large manufacturers and network providers such as Aircel, Airtel and
Karbonn, the programme currently converts at a rate of 4,000 people per month and
is rapidly expanding.

THE DIGITAL
FUTURE
The digital future is not limited to apps. With
intelligent digital assistants and conversational
commerce across social media on the cusp of
becoming ubiquitous, the industry has two more
digital challenges to contend with in the very near
future and there will be more.
Magpie has already developed a voice-activation
prototype and is tackling these next
advancements in technology so
that insurers can rest in the
knowledge that their business
is in safe, digital hands.
