THE GECKO GETS THINKIN’
According to a release, Geico is starting to use Tractable AI review photo estimating to double check estimates. Todd Combs, Geico’s CEO, says that the new solution will only heighten the customer’s experience. “GEICO customers know us for our speed of service and value,” Combs said. “Tractable’s artificial intelligence solution delivers both, helping us review estimates more quickly and accurately, getting our customers back on the road faster.” The speed of service will increase as the Tractable AI review photo estimating solution can cut eight days out of the cycle time and find “$80 additional variance…per claim, thanks to AI consistency,” says the company. Although Geico is not available in Canada, systems that speed up the claims process like the Tractable AI, could be adopted by other insurers within the country.
