    ABOUT CLIENT

    Who did we help?

    Allianz was founded in 1890 in Berlin and initially operated as a regional supplier of accident and transport insurance. The hard work of several generations of employees and managers has turned it into a strong player in the international insurance market. Today, Allianz operates globally, reaching customers from over 70 countries worldwide with its wide range of insurance products.

    ABOUT challenge

    What were the biggest challenges of the project?

    The project’s most difficult challenge was systems development facing the constantly growing and changing Allianz insurance offer and legal regulations. We simultaneously developed even a dozen systems responsible for various offer areas. In the area of RSA, we maintained, for example:

    • the system for recording Assistance events with a policy database, enabling the registration and monitoring of Assistance services.
    • the system used to settle Assistances before they are transferred to the accounting department. It allowed the processing of invoices from Agents.
    • the system allowed settling replacement cars issued during repairs carried out in workshops. Used for Mercedes.
    • the system used to provide Home Assistance services.
    • other services – under the contract, we also maintained minor services and systems, some of which performed typically supporting functions, e.g. they enabled other systems to access dictionary data or were used to inform the client about the current status of Assistance services.

    In the Travel area:

    • the system that allows you to sell and manage Travel policies. It had functionalities allowing for consideration of claims under purchased policies.
    • websites that allow you to submit claims via the Internet.

    Cooperation with Allianz has been developing for many years. During this time, we have worked with over a dozen systems supporting Assistance service at many stages of service implementation. Together, we introduced improvements to the existing processes, starting from the support of Call Center employees through the facilities and systems used by technicians carrying out commissioned repairs to the support of the accounting department.

    Thanks to many years of knowledge of business processes and maintained systems we were a partner who actively participated in the development of the client’s business. We were the first choice when quick changes were needed to enable Allianz to obtain a new cooperation agreement, as well as in situations where new legal regulations required changes in the process and adaptation of systems to new realities.
