Digital Risk Processing
Digital risk processing
Configurable cloud based platform
The Cytora Digital Risk Processing Platform enables commercial insurers to digitise all interactions with brokers, enabling optimised risk workflows and control over the target portfolio. Cytora brings together the data, processes and people enabling insurers to create multi-step risk flows that maximise efficiency and differentiate how risks are processed according to risk appetite, portfolio and automation objectives. From small commercial to middle market to large commercial, Cytora supports different operating models and levels of risk complexity and all submission types from new business to renewals to claims.

Decouple premium growth from expense growth
Risk digitization
Cytora digitizes core workflows by operationalizing submission data, internal and external data sources and inferred data into streamlined multi-step workflows. Cytora standardizes heterogeneous data fields and has a flexible data integration layer with built in entity resolution making it easy to integrate data sources, enabling granular context and control across the journey. Cytora enables insurers to achieve the highest levels of accuracy through a quality control layer for validation and exception management.
Workflow optimisation
Cytora enables insurers to optimize risk workflows by encoding business rules which enable risks to be evaluated against risk appetite, portfolio strategy and other configurable rules. The Cytora platform matches risks to multiple segments enabling risks to be processed differently including matching to in-force customers, filtering by appetite, ranking by priority, highlighting areas of outsized risk and enabling straight-through processing based on complexity thresholds.
Portfolio enhancement
Cytora provides visibility over workflows and control over portfolio shape enabling insurers to unify their workflows from new business to claims and enhance their portfolio, identifying changes in risk and market dynamics and adjusting the attractiveness of different segments. Cytora’s live insights are operationalised into risk workflows providing senior management control over the target portfolio and enabling optimization of business objectives.

Digital risk flows
Example Flows
Clearance
Streamlined clearance flows enable detection of duplicate submissions, match brokers to broker licenses and connect new submissions to current in-force customers.
Appetite filtering
Risks are automatically filtered based on the insurer’s unique risk appetite, enabling underwriters to focus their time on risks within appetite.
Auto-declines
Out of appetite risks flow into streamlined auto-decline queues, creating capacity for underwriters and enabling better service to brokers.
Risk prioritisation
Risks are automatically evaluated against priority rules using multiple fields from broker submission, internal, external and inferred data sources, enabling underwriters to focus on the most attractive risks.
Risk triage
Risks are triaged based on the insurer’s operating model, matching risk complexity to different processing modes that enable underwriting capacity to be scaled across higher volumes of risk.
Decision ready risks
Cytora enables underwriters to receive decision-ready risks with streamlined quotation workflows, accelerating decision-consistency, efficiency and turnaround time.
Straight-through processing
Straight through processing flows enable low complexity risks to receive accelerated review and be automatically quoted without consuming underwriting capacity.
Downstream system routing
Risks are routed to the right downstream systems including policy administration, CRM, pricing engines and other downstream systems, eliminating rekeying across the workflow.

“
Previously it could have taken two, three, four plus weeks to underwrite a more complex risk, using Cytora what we can now do is source that data, analyse that data so much quicker, we can now underwrite most of those risks in three hours, that’s a dramatic change.”

“
We now have 38% less people involved in the processing part of it, so they can spend more time on other things, more value adding tasks. So with 38% less people we are handling 38 per cent more cases and in cases per underwriters, that’s an increase of 100%”
