Ushur Launches Prebuilt Onboarding Automation Solution for Group and Worksite Benefits Companies

By GlobeNewswire On Jul 17, 2024

Insurance carriers, health plans and financial services companies that offer employee benefits to employer groups stand to benefit from the automation of post-sales communication and document processing personalized to each new employer group

Ushur, the leader in AI-powered Customer Experience Automation (CXA), announced its prebuilt AI-powered automation solution to slash turnaround time and improve onboarding communications for insurance carriers, health plans and financial services companies.

“In group benefits and worksite benefits, there is a big opportunity to enhance and expedite the process of onboarding of employer groups. The current process is friction-filled, manual and inefficient,” said Yvonne Daugherty, Global Head of Industries for Ushur. “With Ushur’s new AI-first automated solution for multichannel communications, document processing and information gathering, carriers, group benefit administrators and benefits brokers all experience substantial improvement in their onboarding journeys while realizing operational efficiencies across the board.”

Today, group and worksite benefits carriers face significant obstacles to onboarding employer group clients. Carriers have tight timelines to collect, correct and load onboarding files and other necessary information from large numbers of groups — often by hand. The data is frequently incomplete or insufficient, and brokers and employer groups have limited bandwidth to support the process. Everything takes much longer than it should in today’s world of AI and automation.
