Insurance Price Benchmarking

Competitive advantage is not easy to achieve. Nor is the market operating in a vacuum. Whether its pricing strategy, conversion optimisation or claims delivery, all performance is relative. Insurance benchmarking is the practice of comparing your key performance metrics with industry peers or similar operations, providing external reference.

With our background in price comparison data aggregation, we understand the transformative potential of gathering measurable insight across the value chain, and how it can be used to enhance performance. The desire to obtain and maintain a competitive edge in insurance, and indeed any industry,  means focusing on pricing agility, keeping a constant eye on the market and changes ahead. Factors are changing both internally – products, prices, resource, systems – and externally – regulatory, economic, consumer behavior and competitors.

So whilst drawing on performance reviews of KPI’s and customer feedback, finding external reference points can ensure that internal and external factors are a key part of the continuous improvement process and the drive to keep ahead.

Additional Product Benchmarking
