/ THE SITUATION

Every claim went through a human. Even the simple ones.

Claims handlers were spending the bulk of their time on standard motor and home claims, reading the same document types, entering the same fields, applying the same coverage rules. Complex cases sat in the queue behind routine ones. Processing times averaged nine days. Staff were at capacity with no headroom for growth.

/ WHAT WAS BUILT

An AI pipeline that reads the documents, scores the claim, and routes or resolves it.

Standard claims are extracted, validated, and settled automatically. Complex claims reach a specialist with the full context already prepared, no manual data entry, no duplicated effort.

01

Claim types catalogued

Every claim category mapped, motor, home, liability, and health, alongside the documents required, the data fields to extract, and the complexity thresholds that determine routing.

02

Document extraction pipeline built

Azure Document Intelligence extracts structured fields from uploaded PDFs and images: policy number, incident date, damage description, repair estimates. Structured output validated before any downstream step.

03

AI triage layer applied

Extracted data scored against complexity rules. Standard claims below the fraud-risk threshold flagged for auto-processing. Ambiguous or high-value claims routed to the specialist queue with full context attached.

04

Auto-processing workflow wired

Standard claims trigger an n8n workflow: coverage verified against the policy record, settlement calculated, approval logged, and payment instruction sent to the finance system, zero human steps.

/ RESULTS

Standard claims close in hours. Specialists work only on cases that need them.

-78%

Processing time

Average claim turnaround dropped from nine days to under two. Standard claims often resolved the same day they are filed.

80%

Claims auto-resolved

Four in five standard claims handled end-to-end by the pipeline, coverage check, settlement calculation, payment instruction, without a handler touching them.

0

Manual data entry

Structured fields extracted directly from uploaded documents. Claims handlers no longer retype information the document already contains.

12

Days to production

From kick-off to a live pipeline processing real inbound claims in twelve days.
