Enabling insurance companies in digitalization

Insurance companies are increasingly challenged to fully digitize contract processes, customer interactions, and regulatory requirements without media disruptions and without compromising security, compliance, or usability.

mesoneerʼs Digital Trust Platform enables legally compliant digital contract processes, integrates seamlessly into existing system landscapes, and creates end-to-end customer journeys for customers, brokers, intermediaries, sales teams, and employees.

USE CASES

Challenges in Digital Insurance Operations

Insurance companies must simultaneously meet increasing demands regarding security, efficiency, regulation, and customer expectations. Especially within digital contract, signature, and onboarding processes, several key challenges emerge
Lack of End-to-End Digitalization in Contract Processes
Physical signatures, media disruptions, and hybrid processes prevent fast and fully digital contract journeys.
Complex Signature and Compliance Requirements
Different use cases require different signature levels such as SES, AES, or QES while complying with regulatory frameworks such as ZertES, eIDAS, data protection, governance, and compliance requirements.
Different Requirements for Digital Customer Identification
Identification requirements vary depending on the use case. Insurance companies face the challenge of establishing digital solutions across both life and non- life insurance.
Lack of Integration into Existing System Landscapes
Digital contract processes must integrate seamlessly into core systems, policy administration systems, CRM, DMS, policy issuance systems, broker platforms, and intermediary systems.
Unstructured and Manual Case Handling
Documents and requests are often processed through multiple channels, increasing processing times, introducing errors, and reducing straight-through processing.
Multiple Internal and External Stakeholders
Solutions must work not only for employees but also for customers, brokers, intermediaries, agencies, sales teams, and additional external parties.

One Platform for Legally Compliant Digital Contract Processes

mesoneerʼs Digital Trust Platform combines digital identification, electronic signatures, smart data, dynamic forms, and compliance capabilities within an integrated modular platform to enable secure, seamless, and regulatory-compliant customer journeys.

Digital identification methods such as AutoIdent, VideoIdent, Point-of-Sale Identification, QES Identification, or E-ID enable secure and user-friendly onboarding of new customers – both during consultations and remotely.

Contracts can be fully created, sent, signed, and documented digitally. Depending on the use case, organizations can flexibly use different signature levels ranging from simple electronic signatures to qualified electronic signatures (QES).

The platform also creates transparency and control across the entire signature process. Status tracking, timestamps, reminders, signing sequences, and audit trails improve traceability and reduce manual effort.

Thanks to its modular architecture, the platform integrates flexibly into existing insurance landscapes – from core systems and policy administration systems to CRM, DMS, and broker systems.

Which electronic signature do insurance companies need?

The required signature level depends on the use case. Insurance companies use simple electronic signatures (SES), advanced electronic signatures (AES), or qualified electronic signatures (QES) depending on regulatory requirements and risk profiles.

How does digital customer identification work in insurance?

Digital identification enables secure onboarding of customers using methods such as AutoIdent, VideoIdent, Point-of-Sale Identification, or E-ID both on-site and remotely.

How can digital signatures be integrated into existing insurance systems?

Modern platforms integrate into existing core systems, CRM, DMS, policy administration systems, and policy issuance systems using APIs and interfaces.

How can insurance companies eliminate media disruptions?

Seamless processes connect identification, data collection, document generation, signatures, and archiving within one end-to-end digital process.

What does straight-through processing mean in insurance?

Straight-through processing refers to automated processes with minimal or no manual intervention. The goal is to automate contract and document processes as much as possible.

Which regulatory requirements apply to digital contract processes?

Depending on the use case, digital contract processes must comply with regulatory requirements such as ZertES, eIDAS, data protection, compliance, governance, and audit requirements.
