Liberty Mutual: Improving Risk Selection for Top Carrier

THE COMPANY

Liberty Mutual is the sixth largest global property and casualty insurer. Liberty  Mutual offers a wide range of insurance products and services, including  commercial multiple-peril, workers compensation, commercial automobile,  general liability, surety, and commercial property.

THE PROBLEM

Properly evaluating submission documents is one of the most critical aspects  of the underwriting process, but it often requires significant manual effort.  Liberty Mutual’s required manual processing often led to delay in issuing  quotes, less than optimal risk selection, and resulted in significant data loss.

THE WORK

Groundspeed leverages the available data in various types of submission  documents with a data-first approach. Groundspeed’s Rapid Fusion Data Pipeline extracted, cleaned, and transformed submission documents automatically and  created a continuous delivery of detailed account, exposure, and claim data to  Liberty Mutual’s new underwriting system.

THE IMPACT

With time to extract submission data down 50%, Liberty Mutual’s underwriters are now freed of manual entry and are able to devote more time to writing  business. Groundspeed enabled Liberty Mutual to make better risk selections,  improve time-to-quote, and deliver better customer service. A brand new data  set highlights competitor rate sufficiency and loss development trends.
