2016 ICTA Nomination. Technology by Hill+Knowlton Strategies.
GUARANTEE GOLD has a longstanding commitment to minimizing the impact of water-related losses through innovative products and services. Mitigating water damage is an important part of our strategy, the GUARANTEE GOLD Mobile App is an extension of our strategy to help our clients plan ahead and proactively take safety measures to protect their homes and belongings.
The Mobile App is an innovative service which we have developed to help our clients who are suffering from harsh weather and water-related losses. As many of these clients are unsure of how to mitigate these issues, our Mobile App provides them with the necessary steps and tips to protect their homes.
The GUARANTEE GOLD Mobile App provides exclusive insights, tools and access to clients with the following unique features:
- Access to real-time weather alerts across North America: Our clients can now receive important weather warnings and insurance-related tips through their mobile device. The app can alert them with ways to help keep their homes, cottages and families safe.
- Report a claim on the go: Our clients can now submit a claim directly through the app. They will be contacted by a representative from our GUARANTEE GOLD claims team to get their claim underway. Both our broker and our claims team will receive a notification of the claim submitted.
- Claims help: Our clients can easily access helpful tips and actions to take in the event of a collision, theft or water damage incident.
- Broker finder: Our clients are able to easily find their broker(s), add them as favourites, and access broker contact information for quick reference wherever they are.
- Resource centre: Clients and brokers have easy access to GUARANTEE GOLD information and resources, as well as details of what features set us apart as a leading high net worth market.
- Policy changes: Through the app, our clients can alert their broker(s) and the GUARANTEE GOLD team of any changes they want to make to their GUARANTEE GOLD policy.
