Innovation is always at the forefront for the Amica team. “When we evaluated our claims experience on a deeper level, we identified the need for a seamless communication channel between our customers and claims handlers based on the volume of voicemails and callback attempts throughout the handling process,” said Brandon Casey, Senior Product Owner in Corporate Strategy at Amica. “To resolve claims more quickly while minimizing the level of effort, we must keep innovating. Hi Marley’s communication platform offers greater efficiency in claims cycle times, even stronger customer satisfaction and insights we need to further refine products and services.”
