HDFC Life, last year, had launched CLICK2BUY, online Point of Sales system for faster policy issuance. It is a first amongst its kind of initiative in the life insurance industry that aims to change the way insurance is sold in the country. With its objective to enhance customer insurance purchase experience, it will also help increase productivity of HDFC Life's distribution channels.
The system is driven by a state-of-art rule engine, which ensures that every question required for underwriting a proposal is asked up-front. On clicking the submit button, the underwriting decision or medical reports required to underwrite are communicated upfront to customers. The system communicates the decision or quotes - the medical requirement immediately on submitting the proposal. In other words CLICK2BUY enables HDFC Life's sales team to underwrite and communicate the decision or requirement up-front right at the Point of Sale.
CLICK2BUY has already proved to be a game changer and has won Asian BFSI Award 2012 in the 'Underwriting Initiative of the year' category.
