Corporate Insight Unveils a New Era in Commercial Insurance Research
On June 17, 2025, Corporate Insight (CI), a pioneer in customer experience research and competitive intelligence, announced an innovative addition to its repertoire: the
Commercial Insurance Monitor, a research service meticulously designed to evaluate the digital experiences offered by commercial property and casualty insurance providers. This service is pioneering, as it takes into account insights from both potential and existing customers.
As the landscape of commercial insurance becomes increasingly competitive, the need for insights into digital capabilities has never been more critical. According to
Justin Suter, CI’s insurance research manager, small business owners are demanding smoother and more efficient online experiences when it comes to managing their insurance needs. The introduction of this new research service is an extension of CI's ongoing commitment to guiding insurers in refining their digital offerings to attract and retain business clients.
Focus Areas of the Research
The Commercial Insurance Monitor will analyze four key areas of commercial insurance policies:
1.
Business Owners Policy (BOP)
2.
Workers Compensation
3.
Commercial Liability
4.
Commercial Auto
Each of these categories will be examined through a robust framework of research tools designed for continual competitive intelligence. This includes quarterly reports highlighting industry trends, matrices of capabilities detailing what services are offered by covered firms, and direct consultations with CI's expert analysts for deeper insights into authenticated user experiences.
The inaugural report from the Commercial Insurance Monitor promises a thorough overview of the current competitive landscape, addressing the challenges and opportunities these insurers face. Subsequent reports will delve deeper into functionalities such as generating a Certificate of Insurance (COI), billing and payment features, resources for risk mitigation, and the overall online quoting journey.
The Shift in Customer Expectations
The evolving digital landscape in commercial insurance is largely driven by changing expectations among small business owners. As digital natives gradually take the reins from retiring boomers, the demand for sophisticated online experiences is rising. Suter emphasizes that traditional insurance providers that do not keep pace with these expectations may find themselves losing market share to more digitally adept competitors. Consequently, this research will encompass both established firms and insurtech challengers, providing a comprehensive view of the market's digital landscape.
Coverage Across Leading Providers
The research focuses on 17 prominent commercial property and casualty insurance providers, including notable names such as:
- - American European Insurance
- - AmTrust
- - COUNTRY Financial
- - The Hartford
- - Liberty Mutual
- - State Farm
Through an in-depth investigation of these firms, CI aims to shine a light on best practices for delivering a seamless digital experience to clients.
