For insurance companies, it is crucial to have a good solution for settling claims. Now, KLP Skadeforsikring is modernizing its claims settlement system, aiming to implement a cloud-based solution from the filing of a claim to payment.

We are excited to embrace new and modern digital solutions to meet future expectations of the insurance industry," says Tore Tenold, CEO of KLP Skadeforsikring.

  • Filing of claims

  • Question management of the filing forms

  • My page where customers can follow their case

  • Manual and automated claims processing

  • Document management

  • Reporting

  • Secure communication

  • Processing of health declaration forms

The project

After a successful test phase, a so-called "proof of concept," in 2023, the main project started in January 2024, with planned deliveries starting in the summer of 2024. The insurance products are gradually implemented in the new solution to quickly realize value and ensure a risk-free transition.
