Intelligent Recommendation Engine for an Insurance Multiline Platform
Industry Challenge/ Challenges
Traditional recommendation systems, which are created for online platforms (e.g., e-commerce, entertainment), are built on large datasets and try to advise the next best offer, however, insurance products have unique characteristics that necessitate a different approach. As insurance products often offer a range of alternatives and a befuddling terminology, even seasoned consumers, let alone first-time buyers, good recommendations have become especially relevant in the domain.
- Accuracy
As the amount of data available grows, a new challenge arises: consumers face difficulty deciding which objects actually they want to see.
- Approach
Finding the right algorithms and the right approach is crucial when it comes to recommendations as it impacts the quality of the predictions. - Analysis
The solution should first be able to guide the user through the awareness and analysis steps before final decision making.
Problem Statement
The client wanted to build an intelligent Recommendation Engine to bolster customer retention and harness digital transformation for the Insurance domain. The recommendation engine needed to emulate a salesperson that can guide customers through the stages of awareness, research, and decision making.
Our Solution
- Algoscale followed the user-clustering approach for recommendations to enhance the accuracy of recommendation results based on data collected through questionnaires and demographic data.
- To filter and add additional recommendations, we used a similarity matrix based on the policies in the vault, their categories and subcategories, and other various policy data provided by different insurance providers.
- Our experts decided on a hybrid strategy that would include both content and collaborative filtering. We built the recommendation pipeline and set up the APIs, and once the outputs began to come from the recommendation engine generated locally, we moved on to its optimization.
