Impact
The system has helped clients reduce process errors to almost 0, reduce labour costs (1 robot = 3 to 5 FTE) and expedite efficiency (e.g. claims payment processing reduced from 1.5 hours to 20 minutes)
Case Study
Client situation: A large insurer needed to reconcile its customers’ premium payments with bank statements, and then enter approved payments in the ERP system on a daily basis. Manually this process took 1½ to 2 hours per customer to execute.
What they did: Kryon implemented their RPA platform to reconcile the Excel fles with the bank statements, verify/approve payments and then enter the information in the ERP system.
Impact: Using Kryon robots each payments is now processed in 20 minutes saving thousands of FTE hours per year. Automating the process also eliminated process errors.
The Oxbow Partners View
Traction: Kryon has been implemented with multiple blue-chip insurance and non-insurance clients. Initial pilots suggesting dramatic decreases in error rates and higher efficiency look promising.
Potential: We believe that the effectiveness of Kryon’s technology has been proven. With an investment from Aquiline Technology Growth, the VC fund of one of the world’s best connected insurance-focused PE funds, we see potential to scale significantly in 2018.
The 2018 challenge: Kryon’s technology is proven and it now has investment to help growth the business. The challenge will be finding enough insurers willing to deploy the technology at scale.
