The Challenge
The insurance provider was under increasing pressure to boost its anti-fraud capabilities while also enhancing operational efficiency and key performance indicators. Despite existing efforts, the company faced several critical challenges that limited its ability to fully optimize its fraud detection and investigation processes. These challenges included:
- Enhancing Anti-Fraud KPIs: Improving both detection and acceptance rates to better identify criminal activities and ensure accurate claim assessments.
- Data Silos Slowing Processes: Fragmented data across systems created delays in detection and investigations, demanding a unified approach to accelerate workflows.
- Lack of Automation: Manual processes in claims management were inefficient, highlighting the need for automated decision-making to streamline operations.
- Predictive Fraud Detection: The absence of advanced tools, such as network analysis and AI, limited the company's ability to proactively detect fraud and anticipate evolving schemes.
- Dependence on External Scoring Calibrations: Reliance on third-party support for scoring calibrations restricted agility and delayed response times.
- Investigation Inefficiencies: Analysts lacked the tools to perform in-depth fraud investigations effectively, reducing their capacity to uncover complex fraud networks.
- Deriving Value from Relationships: The company struggled with fragmented data, which hindered its ability to analyze data relationships and slowed the detection of organized crime networks.
