C.L.U.E.

Prior to C.L.U.E. Auto’s launch in 1987, claims history was typically incomplete and difficult to obtain. This resulted in inefficiencies and information gaps that did not allow for proper pricing to the risk. C.L.U.E. Auto, which can be seamlessly integrated into an insurer’s workflow, and its contributed data have brought to the market a 360-degree view that helps U.S. insurers understand their customers in a more comprehensive and actionable manner, giving them the ability to offer the products that best meet their customers’ needs and deliver a personalized experience. Additionally, by combining contributed information with other data sources, such as life events or driver activity, insurers can focus on customer retention and profitability.
“The use of contributory data helps lead to lower rates for most consumers,” said Bill Madison, CEO, Insurance, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. “By providing carriers with insights into an applicant’s previous coverage and loss history, contributory databases help enable more accurate rating and, for many consumers, lower rates—not just with their current carrier but also with others, should they choose to shop around.”
