Allianz Revolutionizes Insurance Claims with AI Chatbot: 90% Customer Satisfaction Achieved

Allianz, the world's leading insurance brand, faced a significant challenge in simplifying their customer experience, particularly in the claims process. With a complex array of insurance products and a commitment to digital innovation, Allianz sought to enhance their customer service through technology. The company's mission of 'securing your future' demanded a solution that could handle the intricacies of their product offerings while providing seamless support to customers in distress.

The insurance industry has become increasingly complex over the years, with Allianz offering a wide range of products covering property, accident, life, health, and more. In the Benelux region alone, Allianz collected over 92,000 unique search terms used by customers on their website. This complexity made it difficult for customers to find the right support numbers or claim forms, often leading to frustration during already stressful situations. The challenge was to simplify this process without compromising on the comprehensive coverage Allianz provides.

To address these challenges, Allianz Benelux's Business Transformation Unit (BTU) and Customer Care Center (CCC) teams collaborated to create a chatbot using Landbot. The goals were clear: provide 24/7 help, achieve over 85% positive feedback, and convert negative feedback into improvements within 24 hours. The chatbot was designed to be simple, digital, and scalable, serving as a decision aid tool that could guide customers to the correct forms and support numbers efficiently.

The development of the chatbot was remarkably swift, taking just three weeks from conception to implementation. The team utilized Landbot's no-code platform, which allowed for rapid development and easy customization. To ensure comprehensive coverage, they analyzed and categorized the 92,000 unique search terms, linking them to specific insurance products and web destinations. The chatbot was then tested by various departments and market experts. In an impressive 48-hour hackathon, the team scaled the bot to serve Dutch and German-speaking customers across the Benelux region, demonstrating the solution's scalability and adaptability.

Within a year of implementation, the results were outstanding. Over 18,000 customers used the chatbot, with a remarkable 90% positive feedback rating. The team successfully converted 100 points of feedback into improvements within 24 hours of notification, meeting their ambitious goal. The Dutch language version for Allianz Belgium achieved an even higher 93% positive feedback rating. These results not only simplified the claim process for customers but also provided Allianz with valuable insights into customer needs and preferences, including discovering demand for insurance products they didn't know existed in their portfolio.

Encouraged by the success, Allianz plans to implement Landbot on more pages in the Benelux region. The vision is to eliminate the confusion of pages filled with forms and phone numbers, replacing them with intuitive chatbot interactions. As they expand, Allianz is also developing a French language version of the chatbot, further broadening its reach. This initiative not only transforms a complex system into an operationally efficient process but also creates a valuable product feedback loop. With this innovative approach to customer service, Allianz Benelux is well-positioned to serve millions of customers in the coming years, truly living up to their motto of 'securing your future' through technological advancement and customer-centric solutions.
