The presentation was delivered by Van Ameyde’s Digital Innovation Director, Marco Valkenburg, Simplifai’s Co-founder, Erik Leung, and was hosted by Van Ameyde’s Ilah Waals. The expert speakers set the scene by introducing their companies and explaining their collaboration:

Van Ameyde is a global claims and risk management company that specializes in providing innovative and efficient solutions for insurance and related industries. Their main offerings are an in-house claims handling platform, as well claims handlers for processing claims, as and when insurance and related companies require them.

Simplifai provides AI Automation to take claims processing to the next level, regarding speed and accuracy, and is the AI partner/provider for Van Ameyde.

The two companies then demonstrated how they can jointly solve claims quickly and accurately, using intelligent automation and generative AI, as well as a demonstration of Simplifai InsuranceGPT.

“We do not claim the Diamond Award for ourselves, but, rather, for our clients,” proclaims Marco Valkenburg, a Van Ameyde veteran of over 20 years. “The strategic impact that we presented is the action that we take and the lengths that we reach to ensure that we consistently provide our clients with the best possible services by keeping up industry trends and embedding state of the art technology in our processes.”

“We aimed to provide users at ITC DIA with a new way of processing claims,” said Erik Leung, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder at Simplifai. “With our two solutions working together; Van Ameyde’s claims handling platform, ECHO, and our InsuranceGPT, this acknowledgement is special to us both.”
