Insurance industry in the metaverse: Opportunities and risks
The metaverse offers both exciting opportunities and challenges for insurance companies. Careful preparation and planning is required to minimize risks and maximize benefits. Companies should therefore follow the metaverse trend closely and prepare for future changes in the digital world in order to remain competitive.
The Helvetia Insurance Group relies on the Metaverse
The Swiss insurance company Helvetia has positioned itself in the metaverse and is now offering customers consultations in a virtual meeting room. The company sees the metaverse as a new world that can be explored together with customers to determine needs and requirements in the virtual space. In a later phase, new insurance solutions can also be developed for the virtual space. The introduction of this innovative business strategy is part of the "helvetia 20.25" strategy, with which the company aims to improve its customer convenience and customer access.
Customer advice in a new dimension
Helvetia offers customers the opportunity to book virtual consultation appointments in the Metaverse. The booking is made online, just like a telephone or face-to-face consultation. After making an appointment, customers receive access data to the virtual meeting room by e-mail. There they meet with the Helvetia specialist as avatars and discuss questions and concerns. The consultation takes place with the help of virtual reality glasses and offers a completely new, interactive and immersive experience.
Helvetia is breaking new ground: virtual advice in the Metaverse as a future trend
Jan Kundert, Head of Customer and Market Management at Helvetia Switzerland, believes that the company will gain important experience by entering the Metaverse. The company wants to explore the new digital world together with its customers and learn to understand their needs in the virtual space. Kundert emphasizes that the company wants to use the opportunity to prepare for the future of digital change. To this end, innovative business strategies are to be developed in order to offer customers a comprehensive insurance experience in the virtual world as well. This will also help Helvetia to gain insights. As well as to further optimize the customer experience in the virtual space.
Ralph Jeitziner, Head of Sales at Helvetia Switzerland, wants to simplify and modernize access to the company's services. Customer satisfaction is particularly important to him. Jeitziner emphasizes that Helvetia is constantly working on optimizing its services and offering customers a seamless customer experience. This also includes the integration of new technologies such as online appointments or advice in the Metaverse to facilitate customer access and strengthen customer loyalty.
Helvetia 20.25 - Strategy
Helvetia's aim is to set standards in customer convenience and customer access. Helvetia's virtual consultation service in the Metaverse enables customers to interact with a specialist in an innovative way and have topics explained to them. This gives them a completely new experience. The consultation takes place in a virtual meeting room in which customers act as avatars and meet the Helvetia specialist.
From pilot applications to new insurance products
In an initial phase, Helvetia plans to mainly gather experience in the Metaverse to see what new customer needs arise and what opportunities exist for new products and business models. The organization of information events and virtual consulting are the first pilot applications for the company. In a later phase, new products are also conceivable if the need for new insurance solutions becomes more pronounced in the virtual world. The new offering shows that Helvetia is constantly evolving and adapting to the latest technologies in order to offer its customers a first-class experience. Interested customers can register online for a virtual consultation and experience the benefits of the Metaverse at Helvetia.
