IMS Connected Claims Solution

The industry-first, claims-focused telematics solution to drive loss ratio improvement.

Meeting The Challenges: Claims Experience

There’s no denying that the insurance landscape has rapidly changed. The digital age has given insurers new tools for determining who, and what, represent the greatest risks and costs to their customers and their bottom line.

Consumers want quicker underwriting and claims experiences. Senior-level insurance executives recognize the importance of digitalizing auto claims as a top priority. But too many Insurers are fixated on crash detection and missing the bigger picture of what is truly possible. What is your organization doing to improve the claims experience and bring claims costs under control?

Solution Overview

How to Evaluate Your Competition

Your claims management process has a unique place in determining your competitiveness as an insurer.

  • Escalating claims costs are separating profitable insurers from unhealthy businesses on both the personal and commercial lines sides.

  • Claims costs consume nearly 80% of policyholder premium in the form of claims payments or processing costs.

  • The claims experience represents the moment of truth when insurers either delight (retain) or disappoint (lose) customers.

Presenting IMS Connected Claims Telematics Solution


IMS’ Connected Claims telematics solution is a low-cost suite of telemetry-based services that transforms collected telematics data into appropriate analysis that positively impacts the policyholder experience and an organization’s claims costs. IMS’s Connected Claims solution includes ongoing training and implementation consulting, along with expert support services.

With over 10 years of global experience in claims telematics programs, IMS’ use of telematics data poses the best and most economical entry point into your claims digital transformation journey – at an area of affordable cost and immediate ROI to your existing claims operation. An investment of 2% of premium expense in IMS Connected Claim’s proprietary technology is enough for an auto insurer to unlock a claims quantum benefit of more than 6% – and without requiring any FNOL change of process!

IMS’s Connected Claims telematics solution goes beyond accident detection leveraging telematics data to reduce claims costs in two additional claims costs areas: liability and handling – which together deliver 80% of the overall benefit to your organization:

  1. Claims Liability ROI: including validation and analysis of data and compelling evidence to help identify fraudulent and/or inflated personal injury claims.
  2. Claims Handling ROI: including intervention; more accurate liability decisions; and shorter claims shelf life.
  3. FNOL ROI: including early accident detection and alert service; instant control over recovery and remediation; and improved duty of policyholder care.

Featuring Claims as a Service as another component of the solution, experienced members of the IMS team will provide expert witness services (including court attendance as needed) and training of in-house teams coupled with our proprietary Telematics Technical Statements.

Best of all, because the Connected Claims solution sits within the market-leading IMS DriveSync® platform, insurers can quickly and easily develop this initial claims solution into a fuller suite of services across your book of business – including rewards and engagement, safe driving, analytics and scoring and more.
