Expert-based evaluation of digitalization and mass customization in the Baltic non-life insurance online platforms
ENThe expansion of online distribution platforms illustrates how non-life insurance companies are shifting to digital and customized personal line insurance products. This research extends previous investigations on digital insurance transformations and customization trends in the European and Baltic markets. Expert-based evidence on predominant as-is features in existing non-life insurance online platforms and evaluation on a practical spread of 3 capabilities of the Mass Customization concept are key research outcomes. Results reveal that neither the Mass Customization concept and its capabilities nor combinations with digital and personalization solutions are sufficiently widespread within the Baltic non-life insurance market. Results of the digitalization evaluation indicate that the level in the Baltic non-lifeinsurance sector is between Satisfied and Rather Good and is equal to the level of service provider’s preparation for digital solutions. However, it is behind the actual needs of end-users. Findings show that standardization is a predominant as-is feature in the Baltic non-life insurance online platforms. Keywords: digitalization, mass customization, standardization, online insurance, platforms, Baltics. [From the publication]
