Polish Contract Win & Opening of Warsaw Office
Group announces contract win with Ergo Hestia for its BPS and software solutions including the recently released Innovation Insurer Gateway
Launch of Warsaw office
The Innovation Group plc (LSE: TIG.L), a global provider of business process services and software solutions to the insurance, fleet, automotive and property industries, is pleased to announce a contract win with Ergo Hestia (Sopockie Towarzystwo Ubezpieczen Ergo Hestia S.A.), a Tier One Motor Insurer headquartered in Sopot, Poland.
The Innovation Group and Ergo Hestia have signed a three year agreement to develop a national network of motor repairers to provide a future-ready solution for Polish motor policyholders.
This agreement is the first that utilizes both the web based motor accident management platform, Insurer Gateway, to manage the complete repair process cycle within a managed national network of repairers, together with the suite of Innovation Group BPS services. This win reinforces the business value and insight of the Innovation Group's insurer business model, combining the Group's technology and network with outsourced business partners.
To maximise the operational management of the contract agreement, the Group opened its first office in Warsaw.
Commenting on the agreement, Filip Nerc, Deputy Director of Claims Department at Ergo Hestia, commented:
"I am delighted to confirm this new agreement with Innovation Group. They already provide full accident management solutions for Ergo Versicherung in Germany and, given the strong track record there, we wanted to replicate a similar approach in the Polish market that would allow us to react quickly to emerging consumer demand and stay ahead of our competitors. I look forward to seeing the results that this agreement can bring.''
Andy Roberts, Chief Executive Officer of The Innovation Group, added:
"This new contract will enable both our companies to explore new opportunities that are mutually beneficial while also delivering the best value to our customers. Since the release of Insurer Gateway, the product has been rapidly recognised for its leading technology, flexibility, business agility and scalability. We feel that the combination of Insurer Gateway and our leading BPS and software solutions, sets us apart from our peers to best meet customers' demands and opportunities in the fast changing motor insurance market. We are also extremely encouraged by the opening of our new Warsaw office and the opportunities lying ahead for us on an international scale."
