Company Background
The insurer operates in the highly competitive US auto insurance market, where policyholders expect quick claim resolution, accurate processing, and responsive customer service.
Claims operations play a critical role in customer retention and brand reputation. Delays, inaccuracies, and poor communication can quickly impact customer trust and satisfaction levels.
As claims volumes grew, maintaining service standards became increasingly difficult with existing internal resources alone.
Industry and Operating Context
Insurance providers face constant pressure to process claims quickly while maintaining accuracy and compliance. Customers increasingly expect faster decisions, real-time updates, and seamless service throughout the claims journey.
At the same time, insurers must manage fluctuating claim volumes, rising operational costs, and increasing customer expectations.
For many carriers, scaling claims operations through local hiring alone can be costly and time-consuming. Offshore claims support offers a way to increase operational capacity while maintaining service quality and improving efficiency.
Core Problem
The insurer’s primary challenge was a growing claims backlog.
As claim volumes increased, processing delays became more common. Longer resolution times affected customer satisfaction and placed additional strain on internal teams responsible for handling claims administration and customer inquiries.
The organization needed additional operational capacity to accelerate claims processing while maintaining high levels of accuracy and customer service.
Without intervention, delays risked further damaging customer experience and operational performance.
Offshore Solution
The insurer partnered with Piton Global to establish a dedicated offshore claims support operation in the Philippines.
A team of 55 offshore professionals was deployed to support claims processing, claims administration, and customer service activities. The team worked as an extension of the insurer’s existing claims department, helping manage workloads and accelerate processing timelines.
The offshore team was integrated into established claims workflows and supported day-to-day operations while maintaining quality standards and performance requirements.
By increasing available claims-processing capacity, the insurer was able to reduce bottlenecks, improve responsiveness, and provide more consistent support to policyholders throughout the claims process.
Results
The offshore claims initiative delivered measurable improvements across both operational performance and customer experience.
Claims resolution times improved significantly as the additional support capacity helped eliminate processing bottlenecks and reduce backlog volumes.
The insurer also maintained strong quality standards, achieving a 95% claims processing accuracy rate while handling increased workloads.
Perhaps most importantly, customer satisfaction improved substantially as policyholders experienced faster claim outcomes and more responsive support.

The combination of faster processing and improved service helped increase customer satisfaction from 78% to 89%.
