ACCIDENT SCENE
MANAGEMENT | |
To significantly
shorten the time taken to return a client’s car to
the road after an accident, the data that is
gathered at the accident scene is vital. Minutes
count as vehicles are removed, people leave the
scene and the chance to gather data is
lost.
How does Accident Scene Management
provide all the data required?
- By making Intelligent Assist available on
all clients’ mobile phones;
- In the event of a client being involved in
an accident, the Call Centre receives a panic
from the client, calls the client back in
seconds and then manages the conversation and
the data gathering to the precise specifications
of the Insurer, guiding the client (and in some
cases the tow operator, where appropriate)
through the process of gathering car, personal
and other detail – including taking and sending
images from the accident;
- Insurer has instant access to the individual
accident data as well as a web dashboard that
shows number of accidents (by day, week, month,
by province, by broker);
- The call centre is able to construct a
comprehensive report on each accident and make
this data available to all interested parties.
How does Accident Scene Management
system differ from, for example, an app?
- Mass upload of all clients in a single day
(only data required is name, surname, ID and
program that the client belongs to);
- Instant contact in an accident – the client
has only to remember a single digit on their
phone to access the call centre – where an agent
then takes command of the situation;
- Instantly applicable to all client phones
(the only limitation is that some older,
low-spec phones may not have camera capability –
in which case we could ask tow operators to
assist as well);
- Relying on the client alone to gather data
has its limitations. For example, anyone
involved in an accident is disoriented in those
key minutes after the event has taken place. By
allowing the experienced call centre operator to
take control of the conversation, and to engage
the client, and the tow operator where
necessary, provides a more consistent quality of
data.
What’s involved in setting up
Accident Scene Management?
- Insurer provides client data (name, surname,
ID and program that the client belongs to ) and
RegAlert sends an invite to the client to save
the Intelligent Assist facility on their mobile
phone (save the number to contacts and then
assign contact details to a specified speed dial
number – or in the case of Apple iPhone, to
favourites);
- Client-branded welcome message to
Intelligent Assist explains the context of the
service;
- Clients have access to a mobi site, if
necessary, to help them through the process of
setting up Intelligent Assist on the phones;
- The Intelligent Assist Call Centre is also
available to assist clients through this set-up,
where required.
