Analyzing data to achieve business goals

Although ABAX’s pricing model and customer offerings worked successfully, the ABAX team wanted to focus on the risk analysis of driving behavior to thoughtfully and innovatively create products and services to meet their customers’ needs. They were also keen to explore the development and delivery of personalized offerings and pricing options.

The journey began with a more thorough analysis of the data. Despite promising results, ABAX wanted to gain even deeper insights into driving risk. The aim was to use this knowledge to help achieve specific goals related to customer acquisition, retention, and loyalty, ultimately helping the customer increase revenue and profits. ABAX decided to enlist the help of a partner with excellence in AI analysis of real-time data.

Connect, learn, act

The cooperation between ABAX and Greater Than commenced with the connection of 200,000 cars to Greater Than’s AI analysis platform, via a single API. GPS data was transmitted from ABAX’s platform to Greater Than’s cloud-based AI analysis platform and returned to ABAX in real-time providing deep risk insights into its portfolio.

The initial benefit to ABAX was instant insight and new layers of risk knowledge including a risk profile for each customer in its portfolio. With this foundation, ABAX improved their data bank, defining new business models by understanding new customer segmentation and risk performance. Based on that, ABAX tailored an entirely new insurance product offering suitable for its fleet customers.

We quickly realized that Greater Than and the integration of their AI analysis and risk pricing models would add significant value for ABAX and our future offerings.

Based on the risk knowledge and demand for the product, ABAX entered a cooperation with insurance company Tryg Norway and launched the market’s first commercial insurance product offering, tailored for the Norwegian commercial fleet market.
