Vis Govender, co-founder of Everything.Insure and group CEO of FirstEquity Group, says self-service technology is reshaping customer experiences across generations. Personalisation remains crucial in this digital era, he argues, while exploring the evolving landscape of customer engagement in the insurance industry and beyond.

Digital transformation is seeping into every sector of society. With an acute directional shift towards what will soon become a fully digital economy – technologies like (AI) artificial intelligence, (ML) machine learning and native cloud have businesses adapting to the ever-evolving tech environment to improve, enhance and in some cases disrupt industries – for a positive outcome.

The technology gives you many more features, like the ability to pause cover or insure particular items – Everything.Insure CEO Vis Govender.

More than a decade ago, the customer’s purchasing journey was very different from what we see today. Prior to the advent of the digital consumer, customers were essentially presented with a variety of brands selling a specific product or service, and differentiating factors such as price or quality would influence their purchasing decision.

But as Mishaya Chettiar, Executive Head, at insurance technology firm Everything.Insure comments, “Over the last decade, we have seen that begin to change.”

Creating loyalty programmes, implementing price adjustments and accommodating the digitally savvy consumers are a few ways in which organisations can look to build customer loyalty.
