WINSURE
is a non-life insurance solution that
enfolds complete functionality with
remarkable flexibility.
Your
organization and operation are prone
to changes through time. Some of these
changes can be drastically complex
to implement and the consequences may
appear to be unmanageable. Releasing
a new policy type requires a series
of procedures to be realized.
The new
product has to be added to the system
This
step usually includes coding. If different
systems are used at headquarters, regional
offices and agencies, duplicate coding
effort is obligatory.
WINSURE
allows you to define a new product
with no coding involved, once at your
headquarters where the policy type
is actually developed and nowhere else.
Train
your underwriters throughout your organization.
This
step generally requires a huge organization
of a series of training sessions, during
which some of your staff will travel
and stay away from business. WINSURE
proposes to be your trainer. You can
use her multimedia capabilities to
use image, sound and video as built-in
training material. Help text is another
training tool that can be used.
Distribute
the new product.
During
distribution of new products, two problems
are encountered. First difficulty arises
if you have different systems in your
operational environment. The right
update has to be distributed to the
correct locations. The second difficulty
arises during installation of the distributed
new version of the product. Computer
incompetence at remote locations can
cause delays in the completion of successful
distribution.
With
WINSURE what you distribute is one
set of data throughout your complete
organization. The update can be distributed
automatically according to a preset
calendar with ATP and requires no installation
or compilation at the receiving end.
Start
using the new product simultaneously
throughout your organization.
Once
the training material and the new product
is distributed and on-line training
is completed the whole organization
is ready for kick-off. However market
conditions may force you to start sales
of the new product at a certain date.
It is quite difficult to control a
large organization and keep your sales
force from using a new tool they have.
WINSURE
gives you the power to control the
date from which on a set of data will
be active. This ensures that the update
will be effective simultaneously throughout
the organization.
Any change
in your operation will have to go through
these processes. WINSURE DESIGNER allows
any policy type, rule, condition, calculation,
reference table, authority etc. to
be defined to the system with no coding
requirement.
Another
important capability WINSURE DESIGNER
arms you with is the flexible data
model. WINSURE allows you to add/ delete
data fields that you keep and monitor
for statistical purposes. For example
the beginning and end dates of a policy
and it’s number one mandatory. Likewise
the name of a customer and whether
he is a person or a company, are mandatory
data. However the age, nationally,
occupation and other data items may
be added to the system upon need as "additional
information" about the customer
to be given. The date from which on
the question will be active can be
stated to the system.
Your
operation is defined to the system
via WINSURE DESIGNER and carried out
by WINSURE.
WINSURE
is an integrated insurance solution
where all subsystems interact and share
data. WINSURE is built up of the following
modules.
Contract
Management
The CONTRACT
MANAGER manages all your proposals
and policies along with their endorsements.
For specified policy types the system
stores proposals. Proposals can be
copied to create new versions or proposals
to work on. Proposals can be kept with
their versions in the system allowing
thorough follow-up for your sales force.
The proposal that is accepted by your
customer becomes a policy. From then
on any changes on the policy are kept
as endorsements in WINSURE.
Renewals
are also handled in this module. Renewals
can be created either as proposals
or as policies depending on the specification
made in PRODUCT DESIGNER. Another subject
of choice is whether to have your renewals
created manually by the user or by
WINSURE as proposals in as much advance
as specified in PRODUCT DESIGNER in
batch.
Reinsurance
Management
Depending
on the treaties and rules specified
in the REINSURANCE DESIGNER the distribution
of each policy is handled by WINSURE.
All reinsurance distributions are created
as temporary and are marked as confirmed
when accepted by the user. Any policy
that can not be %100 distributed by
the REINSURANCE MANAGER is listed for
the user to work on the distribution
manually.
Each
policy that has a contribution to the
accumulated risk categories tracked
by WINSURE is automatically added to
the accumulation. Risks can also be
added or deleted from an accumulating
risk group manually.
Claims
Management
The CLAIMS
MANAGER handles claims, their complete
examination, claims expenses, required
documents and settlements. The CLAIMS
MANAGER is integrated to the CONTRACT
MANAGER and COLLECTION MANAGER; therefore
the policy with its endorsements and
installments collected is available
as of damage date. This enables speed
and accuracy in determining the coverage
of the policy for the damage in question.
Documents
required as proof of damage can be
tracked by delivery date. Internal
and external experts can be assigned
for examination purposes. After thorough
examination of the claim and damage,
settlement decision is made. The payment
can be made in cash, cheques or money
order.
Collection
Management
The COLLECTIONS
MANAGER handles installment payments
made by customers. Instruments such
as cash, cheques, promissory notes,
credit cards and money orders are available.
One collection transaction may cover
more than one installment of multiple
policies of different customers. To
enable this flexibility the total of
each item of a single collection is
distributed to the corresponding policies
by the user.
WINSURE
monitors collections made against installment
plans of policies to determine delays.
Delays depicted by WINSURE cause warnings
and suspensions to be activated according
to the rules and regulations defined
in the DESIGNER.
Accounting
Management
Each
transaction creates a record in the
accounting system either of its own
or as part of an accumulated transaction
WINSURE gives you the choice of using
the integrated internal accounting
module or data transfer to your current
accounting system.
WINSURE
keeps track of each transaction that
is realized, therefore can create accounting
records real-time or in batch.
Client
Management
The CLIENT
MANAGER is where WINSURE handles the
information about all entities that
take part in your transactions. Customers,
policy beneficiaries, banks and their
branches, experts, agencies, collectors,
reinsurers, municipalities are all
part of the client management system.
Information
about any ‘client’ is kept in chronological
order which enables in-depth analysis
of the changes over time in certain
segments of your portfolio.
A very
effective flexibility this module offers
is to change, add or delete data items
related to clients. It is possible
to collect new data, the need for which
arises in time, with no database modification
or coding required.
Transfer
Systems
WINSURE
is complemented by ATP, which enables
two-way, automated data transfer.
(See: SFS Product Integration Architecture)
An optional
data migration tool from conventional
file systems to relational databases
is also available for faster implementation
of WINSURE.
WINSURE
allows policy transfer from agencies
and district offices to the headquarters
and back-transfer from headquarters
to district offices and agencies.
Claims
on the other hand are transferred from
district offices to headquarters for
handling.
