Hannover Re is digitalising its customers’ application and claims processes. Zühlke is supporting the company with the development of its concept and assisting with maintenance and technical implementation.

Hannover Re has a powerful vision for hr|ReFlex, its globally popular software for automated risk and performance assessment: the greatest possible process efficiency on a wide range of sales channels, coupled with a high level of adaptability to the needs of primary insurers. Zühlke is supporting the development of hr|ReFlex from the initial concept through to maintenance. It is also responsible for large parts of the technical implementation.

Zühlke made agile processes an integral part of the project, thus creating a solid foundation for further development. A joint team developed the initial concept for the solution. Zühlke business analysts were then able to gather requirements as the basis for an impressive initial prototype. Drawing on this, Zühlke worked closely with Hannover Re’s specialists and IT department to develop a final solution.

The automated underwriting rules engine developed with Zühlke introduces a greater degree of automation to the corresponding function of hr|ReFlex. It also provides a powerful software environment for a wide range of sales channels. Risk assessment of life insurance services powered by the extensive expertise of Hannover Re’s specialists can be configured at any time.
