Generali Seguros and Telefónica launch "Pago como conduzco" Madrid, 6 February 2013.- Generali and Telefónica today launched "Pago como conduzco" in Spain, a pioneering motor insurance policy that calculates the premium according to driving habits.
It is aimed at customers of all kinds, although it especially benefits younger drivers with good driving habits. ‘”Pago como conduzco” offers the potential for customers to benefit from a discount of up to 40% compared to a conventional policy. This new product from Generali Seguros and Telefónica was unveiled today by Jaime Anchústegui, CEO of Generali España, and Carlos Morales, Global Managing Director for M2M and Cloud Computing at Telefónica Digital, and analyses the behaviour of each customer on a personalised basis, which enables adjustment of the premium based on the way they drive. This journey data is collected by a device installed in the car which also features machine to machine technology. . ‘”Pago como conduzco” also has the potential to improve road-safety. About GENERALI Seguros. A new paradigm in the world of insurance. Saying that the marketplace has undergone changes in the recent years and that the competition in the insurance sector is growing aggressive means stating the obvious.
Saying that insurance companies have no option but to understand their clients’ needs and face them, thus making operative processes more efficient in order to reduce costs, is another obvious statement. But knowing that the competitive situation has changed and that the companies must adapt themselves in order to survive does not imply that the solution is easy and obvious at all. At this point we must answer one question: how does a product, with no substantial difference from the others, become an added-value service that adapts to our clients’ needs? How do you create such a product in a commoditized sector?
The answer is innovation. Therefore, the solution that Generali has found is a partnership with Movistar to create the first car insurance that reflects the insured driver’s behavior. Dánae Cortés.
