Insurance Product Simulators

Developing interactive tools that increased customer engagement and conversion rates for AXA

Project Overview

AXA Insurance sought to enhance their digital customer experience by providing interactive tools that would help potential customers understand their insurance needs and options. Our team was tasked with developing a suite of intuitive, user-friendly insurance product simulators that would simplify complex insurance concepts and drive engagement.

The simulators needed to accurately calculate premiums based on multiple variables, present coverage options clearly, and guide users toward appropriate insurance products. The goal was to increase customer confidence in their purchasing decisions while improving conversion rates and reducing the burden on customer service teams.

Agent Productivity Impact

Our insurance simulators have significantly reduced the time agents spend on initial consultations and quote preparations across Morocco. When customers use the online simulators before contacting an agent, the consultation process is streamlined, allowing agents to focus on personalization and closing.

Challenges

  • Complex Calculation Logic

    Insurance premium calculations involve numerous variables and complex algorithms that needed to be accurately implemented while remaining transparent to users.

  • User Experience Design

    Creating an intuitive interface that simplified complex insurance concepts without overwhelming users or oversimplifying important details required careful balance.

  • Integration Requirements

    The simulators needed to integrate seamlessly with AXA's existing systems, including their CRM, policy management system, and customer portal.

  • Performance Optimization

    Ensuring real-time calculations and responsive interfaces across all devices while handling complex data processing required sophisticated optimization techniques.

Our Approach

1. User-Centered Design Process

We began with extensive user research, creating personas and journey maps to understand the needs, pain points, and expectations of potential insurance customers. This informed our design decisions and helped us create intuitive, user-friendly interfaces.

2. Modular Architecture

We developed a modular architecture that allowed for the creation of specialized simulators for different insurance products (auto, home, life) while sharing common components and calculation engines. This approach ensured consistency and reduced development time.

3. Progressive Disclosure

We implemented a progressive disclosure approach, presenting information in digestible chunks and gradually revealing more complex options as users progressed through the simulation. This prevented overwhelming users while still providing comprehensive information.

4. Real-time Feedback

The simulators provided instant feedback as users adjusted parameters, showing how different choices affected premiums and coverage. Visual cues and comparative tools helped users understand the impact of their selections and make informed decisions.

5. Seamless Integration

We developed robust APIs that integrated with AXA's existing systems, allowing for seamless data flow between the simulators and backend services. This enabled features like saving quotes, transferring data to applications, and personalized recommendations.

6. Iterative Testing and Refinement

Throughout development, we conducted multiple rounds of usability testing with real users, gathering feedback and making continuous improvements. A/B testing helped optimize conversion paths and identify the most effective design elements.
