The whole insurance market has just started its transformation and is waiting to be disrupted: insurers could save up to 21% of their combined ratio thanks to new technologies. Many insurers are considered to pay more to fraudsters than in income taxes: detected and undetected fraud is estimated to represent up to 10% of all claims expenditure in Europe. Companies like Shift Technology are fighting this phenomenon by providing innovation and technology to a process that is still very manual. Shift Technology’s adoption rate by insurers is impressive: in the past 6 months, they have already analysed more than 30 million claims in P&C and 100 million claims in healthcare – the positive return on investment in their SaaS solution witnessed from the 4th month of use might be one of the reasons.

Scaling Fraud detection
Shift Technology solution helps insurers improve and scale fraud detection by providing both quantitative and qualitative claim reviews. This SaaS system fits perfectly in the clients’ fraud management process while its efficient machine-learning algorithms are tailored to reproduce fraud handlers’ deductive reasoning. These methods enable the detection of a wide spectrum of fraudulent behaviours, from minor opportunistic fraud to organized crime. Thanks to this method, investigations are quicker and easier than ever. Simultaneously, this highly secured SaaS model ensures a crucial requirement when you fight a phenomenon as changing as fraud: agility and reactivity.

Ease of use and efficiency
Shift Technology’s interactions with its clients are designed to be as simple as possible: its general policy is to anticipate and to fit its clients’ requirements and constraints. This tool only relies on a simple extraction of the insurer’s data to detect suspicious claims. They are then displayed on a web interface along with a score, an explanation and suspicion indicators. Claims visualization is clear, concise and relevant whether its users are looking at individual alerts or suspicious networks. Users can focus on the most suspicious cases, save time and avoid false positive cases which are dramatic for insurers. Shift Technology works with P&C as well as healthcare insurers. Although they started implementing their solution a year ago, in the past 6 months, their tool has already analysed more than 100M claims in healthcare and 30M claims in P&C. And although their services do not require any commitment, no client has stopped using it yet.
