Insurance Risk Management Software: Key Aspects

Insurance risk management software helps insurance companies identify and proactively address risks related to the insured subjects and assets, insurance service operations, and strategic business activities. Such software offers automated risk modeling, quantification, forecasting, and reporting.

Custom insurance risk management software can provide a 360-degree view of company-specific risk indicators and enable real-time evaluation of risk impact based on advanced statistical techniques. Custom solutions can also be powered with artificial intelligence to provide real-time risk analytics and data-driven guidance on the optimal risk prevention steps.

  • Implementation time: 9–15+ months for a custom system.
  • Development costs: $200,000–$600,000+, depending on software complexity. Use our free calculator to estimate the cost for your case.
  • Necessary integrations:

Why Opt for Custom Insurance Risk Management Software

Most market-available insurtech risk management tools fall under one of two large categories:

  • Customer risk management tools focus on evaluating client-side loss risks, planning loss reserves, and calculating policy prices. Such solutions cover the functionality of insurance actuarial software and may include loss risk monitoring capabilities.
  • Enterprise risk management solutions for insurance focus on recognizing and addressing risks across an insurer’s operational and strategic activities, including customer service management, financial management, and compliance management.

Custom software effectively tackles the limited functional scope of niche solutions and enables cohesive automation of insurance risk management workflows. All-in-one custom solutions can combine the required enterprise and customer risk features, allowing insurers to seamlessly leverage client risk projections for company-wide risk response planning.

Insurance Risk Factors Software Helps Control

ScienceSoft creates custom insurance risk management solutions tailored to each insurer’s needs. We deliver large-scale integrated systems for organization-wide risk management and specialized custom insurance actuarial software to address client-side risks across various insurance lines.

Depending on software complexity, you get the possibility to control the following risk factors:

  • Insured person’s health state, occupation, solvency, and behavior.
  • Insured asset’s characteristics, state, and performance.
  • Insurance business’ financial posture and operational practices.
  • Severity of external perils (natural disaster, traffic disruption, economic crisis, etc.).
  • Financial impact of potential loss events.

Insurance business risk factors

  • Insurance sales.
  • Loss ratio and compensation amounts.
  • The number of fraudulent claims.
  • Corporate financial performance (liquidity, profitability, capital reserves).
  • Employee productivity, turnover, and retention.
  • The number of compliance violation cases.
  • Reputation (CSAT, NPS, customer sentiment).
