TranSol is unique in the
New Zealand marketplace. Traditionally,
marine claims agency has been
handled by insurance companies
or surveyors.
As
agency claims handling is not
the 'core business' of those
companies, we believe that this
important service has not had
the necessary resources and
expertise dedicated to it. TranSol
has been formed specifically
to meet the need for an experienced,
dedicated, marine claims agency
service.
TranSol
has a number of distinct advantages
over other companies offering
claims agency services.
1.
Internet and Electronic Claims
Systems (ECS)
TranSol is committed to using
technology to improve claims
handling services.
Our website allows us to be
open for your clients 24 hours
a day 7 days a week. From our
website, your client can obtain
instructions on how to claim,
download a claim form, and contact
us via email. In other words,
if your client wishes, the entire
claim process can be handled
electronically.
In addition, we have developed
an Electronic Claims System
(ECS) specifically for handling
marine agency claims. ECS provides
us with a powerful tool to increase
the efficiency of claims handling
and enable us to provide unique
'added value' services. ECS
has the following benefits for
you and your clients:
The
'next step' from ECS is ECS
Interactive. ECS Interactive
is a claims database which runs
off our website. For our large
clients, we can design a database
to suit your particular needs.
Your clients can access the
database via the Internet and
lodge a claim themselves. ECS
Interactive provides all of
the benefits listed above, plus:
2.
Trend Analysis and Benchmarking
TranSol is able to offer a range
of services that take us beyond
the normal role of an agent.
Using our Electronic Claims
System we are able to capture
and analyse information about
all aspects of claims. This
enables us to detect problem
areas or developing trends.
For example, we are able to
monitor the level of claims
for a particular client, or
a particular commodity, or whether
one carrier is having a high
level of claims. We are able
to put this information instantly
at insurers' fingertips.
3.
Risk Management and Loss Prevention
TranSol has the skills and experience
to provide your clients with
a variety of high quality Risk
Management advice. Issues such
as packaging, transport methods,
and protecting recovery rights
all have a bearing on the volume
of claims and your client's
loss ratio. TranSol takes a
proactive approach to this issue,
advising insurers of potential
problems as they arise, then
asking insurers for further
instructions. At your request,
we are able to provide Risk
Management reports on any or
all of these issues.
4.
Recoveries
TranSol will aggressively pursue
recoveries against carriers.
We believe that this aspect
of the Agent's role is not being
done well by any of the companies
currently offering Agency services
in New Zealand. This has a negative
effect on your client's loss
ratio, your bottom line, and
it also allows carriers to continue
with poor practices that result
in loss and damage to your client's
cargo. TranSol has several advantages
when it comes to recoveries:
