HiThere, the ambitious Dutch startup, wants to reinvent insurance. They strongly believe they can improve the quality of life by providing customers a safety net through insurance. This safety net should be affordable and available to everyone all over the world.
So that is why they decided to build their own unique platform: HiThere. A fully automated, modular back-office insurance platform that integrates the back-office seamlessly with the front-end, operates securely in the cloud, is accessible for customers, intermediaries and the insurer and is able to deal in a fully automated way with all life insurance products - closed books and open books - in a fast and flexible way. It is possible to provide personalized premium quotes, based on AI and advanced analytics.
HiThere started from scratch and did not have to keep existing, outdated systems in the air.
By making progress in the six key dimensions discussed in the McKinsey report, the making of a Digital Insurer, they build a brand-new insurer based on the latest insights, new regulatory demands, greater administrative efficiency, growing cost pressure and digital transformation. The total amount invested in the current HiThere application is around € 4 mln.
