HUK-COBURG relies on a specially tailored UBIMET Weather Cockpit for claims process management. UBIMET forecasts and analyzes significant weather events in almost real-time that are highly likely to cause damage.
Shortly after the start of the cooperation for the storm SABINE in February 2020, it became apparent that HUK-COBURG was now able to detect accumulation events earlier, evaluate them more reliably and manage them more successfully thanks to the visualizations in the Weather Cockpit. Thanks to UBIMET’s hail analyses, the processes in claims management could also be further improved in the case of the summer hail events that are important for motor vehicle insurers.
“From the point of view of the claims department of one of the largest private insurers in Germany, we made the right decision to work with UBIMET in the field of severe weather forecasts and analyses. The quality of the data and the Weather Cockpit help us to work even more efficiently, which ultimately also benefits the customers,” says Thomas Geck, Head of the Claims Process Management Department.
