Achmea, which offers a wide range of financial products and services, including home insurance, wanted to explore new, technology-inspired business models for reaching low-income market segments that proved underserved by its current offerings. Achmea started this initiative to stay relevant in the market for home insurance.
Accenture helped the company develop a peer-to-peer alarm platform pilot that allows neighbors, friends, and family to help each other in case of fire or burglary. Due to the significant success of the pilot, the insurer aims to scale the platform to more than 100,000 households over the next three to four years.
