LV= home insurance Bolsters Claims Handling with Xactware Solutions

LONDON, December 12, 2013 - LV= home insurance has integrated Xactware’s claims-estimating solution, which enables the organisation to shorten the claims journey from first notice of loss to final settlement.

LV= desk adjusters are using Xactware’s estimating solution, Xactimate^_®, to scope, estimate, and settle property losses from the office. This has enabled LV= to improve claims efficiency and deliver better service to its customers. LV= is also using Xactimate in concert with members of its supply chain.

Through mobile, online, and desktop platforms, Xactware, a Verisk Analytics (Nasdaq:VRSK) company, provides cloud-based solutions for the property insurance and restoration industries.

"We are constantly looking for ways to improve the claims journey for our customers," said Martin Milliner, claims director for LV=. "We put Xactimate through a series of rigorous tests and found it helps our teams settle property claims faster, which results in reduced claims costs. In some cases, our adjusters were able to reduce the claims cycle by a few weeks. With results like this, it was an easy decision to incorporate Xactimate into our claims organisation."

"LV=’s experience illustrates the benefits of outfitting dedicated claims staffs with Xactware technology that helps them work more efficiently," said James Grant, Xactware’s managing director of the United Kingdom and Ireland. "We’re pleased that LV= selected us, and we look forward to providing them with the solutions and resources that meet their claims-handling needs."
