For the preoccupied adjuster flooded with claim assignments, there has been a mystery associated with the industry term “insurtech.” And if that describes you, this combination of words revolves around technological innovations aimed at improving the efficiency of the insurance world. Insurance plus technology equals “insurtech. Or sometimes, let’s spell it “InsureTech.” Seems simple enough, right?

Entrepreneurs see dollar signs in the insurance industry and develop the next impactful idea, ready to take the market by storm. However, claim adjusters sit back and concentrate on their own duties.
