How Tractable can help

Despite the anticipated surge of the global insurance market to $4.3 trillion in premiums by 2040, the claims process continues to be predominantly labor-intensive, inefficient, and expensive for insurers and policyholders alike. In response, Tractable strives to transform these procedures by implementing visual AI assessments throughout the claims journey, thus guaranteeing superior accuracy and elevated efficiency.

Capitalizing on countless data points, the AI developed by Tractable promptly analyzes user-submitted smartphone pictures of homes and vehicles, delivering verdicts based on the intensity of the damage. This innovation streamlines vehicle evaluations and amplifies the speed of the process tenfold.

Additionally, it becomes an integral element in the auto collision industry by expediting repairs and facilitating the salvage and resale of car parts.

In the aftermath of its Series D funding round in July 2021, Tractable has broadened its product suite and formed alliances with internationally acclaimed clients. This clientele includes eminent P&C insurers such as American Family Insurance and Aviva, along with leading entities in the automotive recycling, repair, and retail industries.

The company presently manages over $7 billion in annualized repairs and acquisitions related to autos and homes, over a twofold growth in the volume of claims processed by Tractable compared to the prior year.

In a press release announcing its funding round, Alex Dalyac, CEO and co-founder of Tractable, said the following:

“Tractable’s AI has helped millions recover faster from accidents and natural disasters. In SoftBank we have a partner who understands the full application set of our technology at a granular level, combined deep networks within the insurtech, automotive and property sectors. I’m excited by what we can achieve in redefining trust and transparency to support people in managing the life cycles of their cars and homes.”

From the outside looking in, this may not be the most exciting way to implement AI technology. However, Tractable is proving that AI can change the way insurance companies evaluate and process claims.
