Insurance policy onboarding, claims and renewal automation

Insurance case study on AEP and Journey Optimizer: policy onboarding journeys, claims updates, retention programs and automated renewal campaigns.

Quick answer

This insurance case study unifies policy, claims and digital data in Adobe Experience Platform and uses Journey Optimizer to onboard new policyholders, keep them informed during claims and automate renewal reminders with retention offers. It runs on the Infinite360 insurance simulator using synthetic policyholder data.

The business challenge

An insurer's policy administration, claims and digital systems are disconnected. New policyholders receive generic welcome packs, claimants chase updates by phone and renewal reminders go out on a fixed calendar regardless of risk or engagement.

Delivery sequence: each stage is validated before the next starts.
  1. Policy lifecycle map — quote → renew
  2. Schemas & labels — sensitive data first
  3. Ingest — policy + claims
  4. Audiences — renewal windows
  5. Journeys — onboard, claim, renew
  6. Retention reporting — CJA cohorts

Use cases implemented

  • Policy onboarding series with document reminders
  • Claim-status update journey triggered by claim events
  • Renewal reminders at 60, 30 and 7 days
  • Retention offer for at-risk policyholders
  • Cross-sell for single-policy households
  • Retention cohort analysis in CJA

Validation and governance checks

  • Health and claims data labelled and excluded from marketing destinations
  • Renewal windows computed outside AEP and ingested as clean attributes
  • Claims journeys tested for missing or delayed events
  • Suppression rules prevent offers to customers with open complaints
  • Every journey has an owner, purpose and version in its name

What Infinite360 brings

Architecture first

A documented target architecture, identity strategy and data model before a single journey is built.

Reusable accelerators

Schema patterns, naming conventions, backlog templates, QA checklists and runbooks reused across projects.

Validation discipline

Every stage is validated - payloads, identity graphs, profile fragments, audience counts and journey test runs.

Governance built in

Consent, data usage labels and least-privilege access are designed in, not bolted on at go-live.

Knowledge transfer

Walkthrough recordings, documentation and pairing so your team can run and extend the solution.

Day-one-ready people

Consultants and contract engineers who have practised the same pattern end to end before joining your team.

From case study to contract delivery

The roles that practise this case study — Data engineer, AJO developer, governance specialist — are the same profiles we place through contract hiring and staff augmentation. Because they have already built this pattern end to end, onboarding focuses on your systems and standards rather than on learning the platform.

Frequently asked questions

Should sensitive claims data be used for marketing?

Only where policy and consent allow. In the project, sensitive fields are labelled at ingestion so governance blocks their use in marketing activation.

Is this based on a real insurer?

No. It is a simulation built with synthetic data.
