INSHUR Cuts Claim Email Handling Time in Half with Five Sigma’s Clive™ AI

INSHUR: A Leader in Insurance Solutions for the On-Demand Economy 

INSHUR is a leading provider of commercial auto insurance, purpose-built for the on-demand economy. As one of the UK’s top insurers in the rideshare and delivery space, with over 1 million policies sold and more than 25 million driver-hours covered on their innovative usage-based product, INSHUR has redefined how professional drivers get insured. 

INSHUR’s technologically-led and digital-first model is designed to provide a seamless, customer-centric experience. This commitment to technological excellence led INSHUR to be an early adopter of Five Sigma’s Claims Management Platform (CMS) and one of the first to implement Clive™, the industry’s first AI Claims Adjuster. INSHUR and Five Sigma’s partnership, grounded in shared focus on efficiency and innovation, has driven continuous operational gains.

The Challenge: Handling General Queue Emails

Before Clive, general queue (GQ) email processing was a daily pain point. Adjusters had to carve out dedicated time to sift through the GQ, process and classify communications, and attach them to the right claims. On top of being slow, this process pulled adjusters away from high-value work and meeting their performance targets.

The Solution: Clive, Five Sigma’s AI Claims Adjuster

Looking to streamline high-volume email traffic and reduce manual overhead, INSHUR UK harnessed Clive’s automation capabilities to free adjusters from time-consuming admin work:

  • Clive automatically reads, analyzes and logs incoming emails.
  • He identifies the original sender in forwarded messages and ensures that all metadata is preserved.
  • He classifies content and matches each email to the correct claim; and
  • Clive summarizes, classifies, and stores incoming email attachments directly in the claim file.

INSHUR UK was already managing its claims operations on Five Sigma’s AI-native, scalable CMS, which offers end-to-end claims handling, advanced automation, 360° claim visibility, centralized data, omnichannel communications, and configurable workflows. 

With Clive embedded directly into the CMS, INSHUR’s team gained the full advantage of claims AI: reducing cycle times, minimizing human errors, and improving time to first contact, without adding headcount. 

Measurable Results: Reclaiming Adjuster Time with Clive’s Claims Email Triage

With Clive automating email triage, the team has experienced significant improvements in GQ processing time:

  • Claim-related email handling time dropped from ~5 minutes to ~2 minutes (60% time reduction)
  • Claim matching precision reached ~97%
  • Overall GQ handling dropped from ~6 minutes to ~4 minutes (33% time reduction)

These improvements slashed time spent on GQ processing by half, freeing adjusters to focus on servicing policyholders.

Well Beyond the GQ: Additional Claims Value from Clive AI

Beyond email, INSHUR’s adjusters use Clive’s conversational assistant to accelerate daily claim handling tasks:

  • Summarizing claims for quick context
  • Retrieving payment, party, and vendor details instantly
  • Drafting outbound emails in seconds
  • Uploading files directly through the Clive interface
  • Filtering claims based on status or complexity
  • Ranking claims by complexity to prioritize workloads

Clive helps adjusters move through their day with less searching, less clicking, and fewer manual steps.

INSHUR UK Adjusters Love Clive AI

The impact of Clive on INSHUR UK’s team goes beyond processing time.

“We’ve had consistently positive feedback from the team about how much Clive has improved their day-to-day workflow. Removing the need to manually sort and route general emails has taken a real burden off their plates. It’s a simple change with a big impact.”
Charmaine Pattenden
Head of Claims at INSHUR UK

Going Forward: Realizing Additional Benefits with Clive

  • INSHUR UK is now looking to expand Clive’s role into straight-through processing (STP) for low-touch claims.

  • With 97% precision in matching emails to the correct claim, confidence in expanding automation is growing.

  • The aim is to reduce manual handling even further, while keeping adjusters focused on complex, high-value work.
“Clive gave us measurable gains on paper, but more importantly, it unlocked momentum. We’re seeing faster responses, more streamlined workflows, and a clear path to scaling operations without scaling costs. This also allows our team to dedicate more time to complex issues, driving better outcomes for our customers. That's the definition of real business impact. I’m excited to keep pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve operationally with these capabilities.”
Marc Mercer
Director of European Claims, INSHUR
“Our collaboration with Five Sigma is a direct reflection of our strategy to leverage best-in-class platform and AI solutions in the market. Five Sigma platform's extensible nature is key, providing a powerful foundation that we can not only utilize but also augment with our own proprietary AI models to deliver a leading claims experience to our end customers and our insurance partners.”
Chris Gray
Group CTO, INSHUR
“Our long-standing partnership with INSHUR is a powerful example of how AI transforms claims operations. Clive doesn’t just reduce email handling time, it becomes a digital team member, autonomously executing tasks that once consumed valuable adjuster time. The General Queue is just one of hundreds of use cases Clive can handle today as a seasoned Agentic AI Adjuster. INSHUR’s commitment to innovation makes them an ideal partner as we continue to push the boundaries of what AI can achieve in claims handling.”
