Zurich Insurance, a multinational insurance provider offering commercial and retail cover, has completed a 90-day rollout of Cytora\u2019s agentic AI-enabled risk digitisation platform across five countries.<\/p>\n

\"zurich-logo\"Cytora, an insurtech firm focused on AI-based risk processing, is now set to be expanded by Zurich Insurance into more than 20 markets over the next 16 months.<\/p>\n

Zurich Insurance has developed a fully integrated underwriting model in which Cytora operates as an upstream intelligence layer within its underwriting workflow.<\/p>\n

Using Cytora\u2019s platform, Zurich Insurance can transform unstructured, multilingual insurance submissions into structured, decision-ready risk data aligned with its global underwriting framework, improving consistency across markets.<\/p>\n

Zurich Insurance reports significant operational improvements following deployment. Manual triage time has reduced by 80%, falling from 75 minutes to 15 minutes. Digitisation accuracy has improved from 70\u201380% to 98%, while intake straight-through processing has increased from 10% to 95%. Zurich Insurance has also established a repeatable deployment approach designed to support faster international scaling of the platform.<\/p>\n

Prior to adopting Cytora, Zurich Insurance underwriters were required to manually review and interpret each submission, which constrained capacity and made prioritisation inconsistent. Multiple disconnected systems also slowed decision-making processes. Zurich Insurance aimed to reduce time to quote by up to 60 minutes by automating the conversion of submissions into decision-ready risks and increasing the volume of submissions that could be processed efficiently.<\/p>\n

Zurich Insurance selected Cytora based on its configurability, commercial insurance expertise and its ability to function as a headless digitisation layer capable of handling unstructured, multilingual inputs at scale. Cytora enables Zurich Insurance to define a consistent global view of risk while accommodating local market variations. The platform also delivers outputs in local languages by default, supporting Zurich Insurance teams with locally relevant insights within a globally standardised system, without requiring custom-built local solutions.<\/p>\n

Armin Schaefer, Head of Customer & Digital IT, Commercial Insurance and Project Director at Zurich Insurance, commented: \u201cCytora united cutting-edge tech and a winning team to deliver fast, collaborative, high-quality results at unprecedented speed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richard Hartley, Chief Executive Officer of Cytora, added: \u201cThrough this partnership we have created a model for the rapid and effective deployment of agentic AI powered automation across Zurich\u2019s global operations. Huge efficiency savings have been achieved without compromise.<\/p>\n

\u201cZurich can launch new markets and products with minimal setup while adapting to local requirements \u2013 delivering consistent, accurate, decision-ready output every time. This partnership showcases the power of agentic AI to deliver tangible and immediate results on a global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n
