Nexar, an AI-powered dashcam app and connected vehicle network, has been named the winner of the Insurtech Award at the Innovation in Insurance Awards hosted by Efma-Accenture, celebrating the best new ideas transforming the insurance industry. Chosen from over 320 innovations, Nexar’s automated accident reconstruction leverages AI and smartphone sensors to capture collision footage and data, and uses it to generate a comprehensive collision reports in minutes.
Insurance companies benefit from the increase in data sources available when analyzing the conditions surrounding a collision, however, insurers find it difficult to operationalize them in a cost-effective manner. Nexar’s smartphone-based solution generates a complete reconstruction of a collision within minutes, including the type of collision, force, video footage, and the exact context, equipping insurers to accurately and efficiently process a claim. With Nexar, insurers receive a complete and unbiased understanding of the collision scenario, reducing the rate of opportunistic fraud, operational costs, and false positives while simultaneously facilitating a stronger relationship with policyholders.
“We are thrilled to have been recognized by Efma and Accenture,” said Eran Shir, CEO, and Co-Founder of Nexar. “Nexar was created with the mission of making roads smarter and safer, and along the way, we recognized the often-fraught relationship between drivers and their insurers. Strained by overly complicated and lengthy claims processes, we saw an opportunity to remedy the situation. Our technology restores peace of mind to both drivers and insurers by removing the guesswork and potential bias from collision reconstruction methods, as well as bringing speed, accuracy, and savings to the insurance industry.”
“It’s exciting to see so much innovation from companies around the world,” said Vincent Bastid, Efma’s CEO. “The number of submissions we’ve seen this year shows that insurers are facing disruption head-on, with advancements in customer service, personalization, and mobile applications through a combination of AI & Big Data.
