Travel insurtech Setoo has gained its first customer to utilise its platform for personalised offers.

The AXA-backed insurtech now has Invia Flights Germany, which provides online flight booking, as its customer.

This allows the travel agent to personalise customer journeys, offer parametric-based insurance deals, as well as an immediate claims compensation process.

“At Invia Flights Germany we pride ourselves in offering our customers perfectly tailored solutions,” said Balint Gyemant, CEO at Invia Flights Germany.

“Setoo’s parametric-based platform facilitates our approach, enabling us to serve our customers’ needs even better. We have implemented Setoo’s platform and began offering protections such as flight delay and cancellation. With numerous options to build and test additional new products, we provide more intelligent products within the customer journey. I’m confident we’ll enjoy enhanced brand loyalty and therefore see increased conversions.”

“We are proud to be chosen by Invia Flights Germany and are excited to collaborate on delivering insurance and protection products that are relevant and loved by today’s consumers,” said Noam Shapira, Co-CEO at Setoo. “Invia’s innovative and customer-centric approach is impressive, and their customers will be first to benefit from worry and hassle-free insurance products, which cover risks related to exogenous events that could ruin their customer journey.”

Based on parametric insurance, e-businesses can create insurance products with one-click underwriting policies that are triggered automatically, dispensing immediate compensation and eliminating the need for filing claims.
