How Business Rules Engines (BREs) Automate Policy Pricing
Business rules engines change insurance pricing. They automate complex decisions. That means dynamic pricing at scale and business process automation.
Automated Decision-Making
BREs use pre-defined rules to make pricing decisions. These rules are your underwriting guidelines and risk assessment criteria. The business rules engine applies these rules to each policy.
Here’s how:
- Define rules in the BRE.
- Input customer data.
- The rules engine runs all the rules.
- It gives you a price in seconds.
This removes manual calculations and human error. It ensures consistent application of pricing rules across all policies and business processes. It's crucial for compliance matters like GDRP (General Data Protection Regulation) or Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Dynamic Pricing
Business rules engines can adjust prices in real-time. They can consider multiple factors at once. These are current risk assessments, market conditions and competitor pricing. Update these in your BRE and the rules engine will adjust prices as conditions change. That means you can manage your business rules and stay competitive.
External Data Sources
Business rules engines can connect to multiple external data sources. This increases pricing accuracy and personalization. It also automates data collection so you don’t have to. Connect your BRE to:
- GPS data for auto insurance
- Weather forecasting systems for property insurance
- Credit scoring agencies for risk assessment
The rules engine will apply this data to pricing. That means more accuracy and less manual data entry.
