Unprecedently there are several advantages of digitization, including the elimination of paperwork, reduced risk of document loss, and simplified processes for updating details such as changes in address or contact information across multiple policies.

Furthermore, this digital transformation fosters and improves seamless communication between insurers and policyholders, facilitating and easing the claims settlement processes and ultimately enhancing the overall experience for policyholders.
