Worldwide Insurance Solutions announces the launch of WISConnectz
Posted Tuesday 1st September 2015
Worldwide Insurance Solutions (WIS) today announced the launch of WISConnectz, a state of the art, fully integrated business -to- business system.
WIS provides marketing & distribution solutions for a range of industries including the retail and travel sector and has developed WISConnectz as a uniform platform for supporting sales of insurance, as well as other products for the benefit of customers.
Jonathan Cooper, Managing Director & Founder of WIS said,
"I am pleased to confirm the recent launch of the WISConnectz platform with a number of travel agency partners here in the UAE. Working with local and international insurers, as well as global IT providers, we have developed a systems solution that is ideally suited for the travel agency sector. It allows for instant quote and policy issue for a range of new travel insurance products.
As a platform WISConnectz brings something new and disruptive to the market - combining a fresh way to do business - with simple log on, access, capture, delivery, up sell & cross sell - all in one system. And it's all about using global best practice with cutting edge technology and then combining this with new and innovative insurance products for the market.
For example, our leisure travel insurance product is the first to focus on those that travel across the GCC, allowing travellers to benefit from quality insurance and competitive pricing for travel within the region.
This approach will make it so much easier for the travel agent to promote travel insurance to the consumer and this is critical - as the typical traveller here in the UAE does not naturally look to buy travel insurance. A general lack of understanding exists with consumers in respect of benefits and importance of travel insurance - especially in providing emergency medical expenses.
All insurance products provided through WISConnectz are underwritten by our UAE partner, Alliance Insurance and backed by Allianz Global Assistance.
We are extremely pleased and proud to be supported by Allianz Global Assistance, as they are the world's leading provider of travel insurance, assistance and personal services. They have a truly global network of service providers and correspondents and assisting over 250 million people each year.
And we have benefited tremendously from the global expertise of Allianz in the development of WISConnectz insurance solutions. It's through their hard work and commitment to the market that we have been able to deliver these new insurance products from our partners"
Added Nusrat Aziz, Director WIS
"The response from the travel industry to WISConnectz has been really astounding and feedback from our launch partners, once they start using the system has been amazing. It's just the system they have been waiting for.
And with WISConnectz, we are helping travel agents overcome a range of issues that have often been seen as a barrier to providing travel insurance. With simple system set up, easy to use interface, straight forward data capture and immediate policy issue, the travel agent is able to provide a valuable service to their customers and ensure that they get that all important peace of mind with travel insurance cover.
WISConnectz is also a system that allows for both cross sell and up sell activity - which is ideal for those frequent regular travellers.
And we plan to expand beyond the UAE, launching WISConnectz later this year into a number of markets across the GCC."
Added Jonathan Cooper,
"It really does fill a gap in the market, and I am pleased that with WISConnectz, we are bringing world class best practice to the UAE and bring benefits to both the travel agent and the customer.
Initially, WIS Connectz will deliver solutions for the travel sector, but the great thing about our new B2B system is that it can be applied anywhere. And we are already addressing new sectors where the introduction of insurance can benefit the customer, such as a typical retail shop in a mall."
WISConnectz launch products include leisure travel insurance, annual group business travel insurance and inbound travel insurance, all underwritten by Alliance Insurance and supported by Allianz Global Assistance.
