Establishing new telematics insurance concepts with msg.IoTA, SAP certified product
The private car insurance market is very competitive, yet many of the premium calculation models are static and outdated.
Progression in the digital transformation and entering the IoT age of car insurance requires deep knowledge in business and IT. msg global solutions provided just that at a recent engagement with Swiss Mobiliar. Looking to provide a new way to attract young drivers, Swiss Mobiliar needed guidance to implement a new Telematics Usage Based Insurance (UBI) tariff based on driving behavior. msg global solutions provided an end-to-end solution that records, analyzes, and then scores the driving behavior with as little manual intervention as possible. With innovative technology, msg global ensured a modernized SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) system to handle growth and expansion.
The result was Swiss Mobiliars new Pay-How-You-Drive (PHYD) tariff: Telematics CleverDrive App with msg.IoTA, a certified SAP product. Swiss Mobiliar has first offered vehicle insurance for drivers up to 26 years old, and then expanded the portfolio with the offer for drivers of age between 26 and 30.

As described by Mobiliar: ”It's very simple: Plug the CleverDrive connector into your vehicle and drive away. Your driving data is recorded and evaluated. You can check your score at any time in the Mobiliar App.
But CleverDrive can do even more: With the roadside assistance button, you can get help quickly and competently, if necessary. Thanks to Mobi24 vehicle assistance in Switzerland and throughout Europe.
But that is not all. The CleverDrive plug has a USB port for charging smartphones. So you can use your electronic devices after the journey freshly charged.”
