177 applications were received across the world, with 11 companies selected after presenting their ideas in a competitive process and virtual pitch day. Since its launch, more than 900 startups have applied to be in the programme. SettleIndex will now work collaboratively with insurers in the Lloyd’s market to further develop the product over a 10-week programme.
SettleIndex provides insurers with a tailor-made solution to reduce litigation-related loss adjustment expenses. Its proprietary cloud software enables lawyers and insurers to work collaboratively to identify optimum settlement timing and lower claims expenses through earlier settlement. Use of the platform improves case reserve accuracy by replacing generalised assessments with calculated values, and provides visibility over litigation, enabling clients to track cases as they progress and identify where action needs to be taken.
Nick Sinfield, former CEO of Catlin Syndicate and Group Head of Claims at Tokio Marine Kiln, commented:
“Insurers have made huge progress in claims service, but there’s been one area where we’ve been relatively static – and that’s in the relationship with lawyers. This lack of change has been driven by two factors. First – behaviours and competencies haven’t changed significantly, perhaps for 150 years. There’s been no burning platform for change because actual performance has been difficult to measure. Second – claims adjusters have had no data from which they can analyse and manage performance. With SettleIndex, for the first time, we can drive change in the legal market, be that burning platform, and provide claims handlers with the system and data to actually manage performance. That’s pretty revolutionary, and its impact could be huge, benefiting everyone – insured clients, brokers and insurers. SettleIndex is an opportunity to create significant and sustainable change for good.”
