Winner of the 2022 Celent Model Insurer Award for Data, Analytics and AI
16th March 2022

Today, machine learning, new sources of data, and pricing optimization techniques allow insurers to differentiate their tariffs and be more reactive to market changes.

In a highly competitive market, Bulstrad decided to enhance its rating strategy and process. Through its machine learning pricing and rating engines initiatives, the company has become more efficient and more responsive to market changes.
