Analytics are also being employed in the spotting of troublesome claims that may cause losses to a business insuring people for natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes and more.
All kinds of businesses want to get back to normalcy and be effective as soon as possible after a natural event.

Predictive Analytics
Predictive analytics is the future of insurance, as the use of artificial intelligence has entered the scene; it may help reduce issues of underwriting expenses. Data can be collected from a variety of sources, ensuring better prediction and understanding.
Some Uses of Analytics
It may be helpful in pricing and selection for risk. Data and feedback collected from smart devices, social media, and interactions of claims specialists and customers are accessed right at the source, rather than through such traditional sources as credit history, criminal records, etc.
Real-Time Information
Predictive planning and historical information may provide an accurate picture of the number of resources needed to cover the amount of anticipated work. Restoration can take place more quickly following a natural disaster, as customers are seen, and work is begun to give peace of mind to those affected.
Customers at Risk of Cancellation
Regarding insurance, predictive analytics may identify those customers who are at risk to cancel or want lower coverage. Insurers can identify those customers who may be unhappy with their insurer or their coverage. A personal connection can be made, in this case to ensure that those potential issues are alleviated.
Fraudulent Claims
Did you know that fraud makes up 5% to 10% of claims costs for insurers in the United States and Canada? Predictive analytics may spot fraud before it happens through the use of social media. After a claim is settled, data may be gathered, monitoring the insured person’s online activity for red flags.
Customer Loyalty
Companies can use predictive analytics to anticipate the needs of their customers while seeing their history. Brand loyalty is important when a company wants to keep its customer from turning to a competitor.
