Commercial Fleet Insurance

The commercial fleet market is a special and complex niche for insurance companies. The business model on which it’s based hasn’t changed in decades, and its complexities make it difficult to control the moving assets. In this context, a series of issues along the business model could provide an opportunity for those involved in the commercial fleet insurance space.

With this in mind, Celent conducted a survey of fleet insurance managers across the globe to understand what those voices say about the importance of risk management—as well the threats, opportunities, weaknesses, constraints, and necessities they see in their daily work, and who they could rely on for making investments and improvements in a complex industry.

Increasingly, changes in customer expectations of what a technology solution should do for them is creating displacement to old ways of working.
