How does this automated home insurance system help out the service provider?
Step 1.) The homeowner logs an insurance claim. A burst geyser for example.
Step 2.) The CoEnsure system connects that claim through an API to the relevant service providers, on the insurer’s panel that is situated in the area of the claim.
Step 3.) The service provider appoints an assessor through the CoEnsure system to assess the geyser damage.
Step 4.) The Assessor will do the full assessment on the CoEnsure system using the online app. This app has been designed to higher industry assessing standards to help guide an assessor through the following disciplines of an assessment – Building, Plumbing, Electrical and Flooring. This means it’s possible to only need one assessor on a claim.
With the help of A.I. The CoEnsure system guides the assessor through the different disciplines of the insurance claim. Once the claim details are all filled in, a complete and comprehensive report including pictures of the damage is compiled on-site to be sent instantly to the Service Providers relevant to the claim.
Step 5.) The claim report is received by the relevant service providers for the specific disciplines to audit the claim and edit where they see fit.

Whenever a quotation has been edited there is a historical timeline as to who edited it and what they had changed. This is for auditing purposes, you will have access to a full audit trail.
Step 6.) The quotations are all compiled into a single report and sent to the insurer for approval. Once approved the relevant service providers can order the parts and book installation times with the homeowner managed through the CoEnsure system.
Step 7.) Once the work is complete the homeowner will be able to rate the experience with the different service providers and if they are satisfied with the work the payments may be released.
