The digital era has ushered in a new wave of possibilities and opportunities for both the travel
and travel insurance industry and as we know, simplicity through customer-centric technology is
important for business growth.
Allianz Global Assistance Canada’s sixth annual Winter Vacation Confidence Index reports that
travel will continue its strong return, with consumer confidence steadily rebounding from
pandemic lows.
More than ever, navigating the unexpected requires a partner who is both proven and
pioneering—grounded stability to meet the changing demands of the present, and
groundbreaking departures to accelerate travel protection into the future. That’s why Allianz is
embracing the digital era and evolving into a highly customer-focused and tech-driven business
partner for travel advisors – proving greater convenience, customization and peace of mind.
For Allianz, reimagining travel insurance in the digital era is all about making it easy for our
partners and their clients. That's why the leading travel insurance company introduced a new
digital sales system – AdvisorMax, an intuitive digital point of sale system, to make selling travel
insurance simpler. The system is proprietary and was developed locally, specifically for the
Canadian market.
AdvisorMax provides travel advisors with a modern system that includes enhanced features to
make selling insurance policies intuitive and customizable. Advisors can easily see side-by-side
product comparisons, bringing simplicity to the selling process. The interface makes quoting as
smooth as possible so that advisors and their clients can make informed decisions based on
their specific needs.
Another unique feature is the simplified medical screening, which now consists of only three
simple questions – down from a form that could have previously taken 20 minutes to complete.
Allianz worked with its internal medical consultants to develop language that everybody can
understand.
Allianz is also unlocking a wealth of opportunities for travel channel partnerships with API
integration, a key component in Allianz’s digital transformation strategy, allowing travel advisors
to seamlessly scale their business with a top travel insurance and assistance provider.
"AdvisorMax is a solid foundational tool – part of Allianz’s larger digital transformation strategy,"
says Director of Business Development, Robert Cole. "The opportunities are endless when it
comes to automating processes, streamlining data exchange and accelerating time to market.
Once you get the right system in place, it makes it that much easier to respond to evolving
partner and client needs – especially when it comes to product innovation."
