Raindrop as a Differentiator in the Insurance Industry in 2023

As the insurance sector is driven by data availability and accuracy, industry stalwarts look forward to big data and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to turn their ‘big data’ into valuable and actionable business intelligence. When applying these exact same characteristics to the Enterprise Spend Management side, rapid access to end-to-end actionable intelligence across suppliers, contracts, spend, risk, compliance, and payables, is the heartbeat which drives value. It’s the game-changer.

This is exactly where Raindrop comes in.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, individuals and businesses have been forced into changing the way risk is being viewed. This is true across the entire insurance industry, be it life, health, and/or disability insurance policies. Add on natural disasters, and the past three years have created a more conservative insurance risk profile. But as the adage goes, “necessity is the mother of invention”, so with these challenges come new solutions for leaders to transform their businesses and drive value from the data they have while investing in the right technologies to transform their business.

Visionary insurance leaders leverage digital transformation to move from a transactional approach to their external supplier spend, to strategic actions. Raindrop empowers businesses not just to live up to their existing challenges and responsibilities, but also future-proof their business with a 360-degree view of their supply base.

Granted, the past three years have compelled insurance industry leaders to refocus on where value can be obtained and risk reduced to their existing businesses. Like most large organizations, your group may use legacy software solutions to manage all external supplier spend. These legacy technologies may require significant internal resources to manage these platforms. Manual work outside of these legacy platforms, due to lack of integrations and/or best-of-breed functionality may force your team to perform time-consuming and expensive work to extract the nugget of information you’re truly in search of. Your internal stakeholders may not adopt these legacy solutions due to outdated user interfaces and/or user experiences. This is why Raindrop is a proudly new industry disruptor, and your go-to strategic partner for turning your team from reactive to predictive and proactive.
