Fred C. Church Insurance in Lowell, Mass. will receive detailed claims data via a single contact appointed by Utica. This contact will be the aggregator of complete and accurate claims data, fulfilling the ongoing need for simplified data collection and eliminating duplicate data entry.

"Identifying a single carrier contact benefits everyone involved," said Ellen Kloth, Zywave RALLE Consultant. "One contact eliminates the need for an agency to secure the data on their own, saving time and resources. Accurate data reports are then captured in RALLE Warehouse, giving brokers detailed reports they can use to analyze the claims and create effective loss control programs for their clients."

"Normally the claims data retrieval process would be very tedious, as many times you make your way through various contacts to wind up with incomplete information," according to Jeff Burke of Fred C. Church Insurance. "The process initiated by Zywave with Utica has streamlined this effort thanks to the commitment of all parties involved. As a broker this allows me to get timely, complete data into RALLE Warehouse to identify frequency and severity issues, providing concrete information and analysis that helps the client manage profitability and cost of risk."

RALLE Warehouse generates a management report that offers standard and advanced reporting filtered by location, department and claimant, to name a few. This sophisticated summary isolates problem areas, while the tool’s drill-down function lets brokers dig deeper into claims information to identify the root causes of problems and develop solutions based on the data.
