This approach helps to speed up the claims process by creating a collaborative environment and ensured Ayming’s technical team had peer to peer conversations with intu’s technical experts.

In just 3 weeks, Ayming was able to conduct the technical interviews and complete the entire claims process, which typically takes 4 – 6 weeks.
