ServicePower Launches New Insurance Edition; Intelligent Scheduling Software Helps Insurance Companies Optimize the ''Claim Chain''.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- ServicePower, a global developer and supplier of service chain optimization software, today announced the introduction of a new version of its flagship intelligent scheduling product, ServicePower Insurance Edition, aimed at the insurance market. By applying lessons learned in over a decade of optimizing the delivery of technical service, ServicePower Insurance Edition helps insurance carriers automate the creation and maintenance of optimized schedules across their claims business. The impact of this solution is to reduce operating costs, increase appraiser productivity, offer better method-of-inspection choices, and provide a more responsive service to their customers.

"ServicePower already has a strong presence in the insurance market," commented Ian MacKinnon, CEO of ServicePower Inc. "A number of leading U.S. insurance companies currently use our software to schedule the claims work of their field appraisers and approved body shops. The new insurance-specific version facilitates deployment in a claims environment and adds support for typical catastrophe processes such as moving additional appraisers into the effected geography."

ServicePower has worked closely with their existing customer base within the insurance industry to develop ServicePower Insurance Edition. The new product is the culmination of development work that benefited from ServicePower's unique knowledge and experience providing optimized scheduling solutions to the insurance industry.

ServicePower Insurance Edition, which enables efficient inspection appointments to be made at first notification of loss, applies to both auto and property claims processing environments. Its optimized routes and schedules enable the insurance company to provide better customer service at a lower cost. Additional features include wireless dispatch and assignment of claims, access to GPS-derived, turn-by-turn driving directions, and the ability to provide wireless status updates from the field so that work schedules can be optimized "on the fly." The new product also provides greater control and visibility across all methods of inspection, support for catastrophe processes such as moving a "cat team" into the effected area, and a reduced number of customer touch points resulting in shorter claim cycles.

ServicePower Insurance Edition is available immediately.
