About WeGroup
WeGroup is an international InsurTech that supports insurance providers all over the world to better connect with their digital customers. One way in which WeGroup can achieve this is by allowing insurance brokers to gain a quick overview of a customer’s current policy in order to better understand their needs.
About the Project
The main objective of the project is to write a program to automatically extract insurance policy information from pictures or scanned PDFs of the policy. The full project pipeline will include the following:
Read in scans and images of insurance policies
Identify important policy information
Extract information vital for insurance brokers
(ex. cost, language, insurance type, etc.)
Information extracted from the policy will include everything from the contract start and termination date to the type of insurance the customer has, the insured risk, and covered guarantees.
Providing accurate and detailed information will allow insurance brokers using the WeGroup platform to quickly process and understand their customers’ insurance policies, thus enabling them to focus exclusively on the services they can offer to better their customers’ experince.
