Why Benchmarking Matters for Car Insurers
In car insurance, your contact centre is often the first and most critical touchpoint — whether it’s helping someone get a quote, manage their policy, or make a claim after an accident.
Benchmarking reveals how your centre performs in real-world interactions – where you’re leading, where there’s friction, and how you compare to other providers – all based on actual customer calls and independent Contact Centre CX Standards.
It provides the evidence you need to justify investment, improve the claims and sales experience, and protect your reputation in a market where trust and responsiveness are everything.
Why Benchmark with ACXPA?
We’ve worked with leading Australian insurers to improve sales, claims, and customer service performance. Our benchmarking for car insurers is built on deep understanding of policyholder expectations and contact centre realities.
We analyse actual customer calls – not internal satisfaction scores – so you get visibility into what’s really happening when policyholders contact your team.
Use benchmarking to validate CX investments, secure internal buy-in, and support continuous improvement across claims and contact centre operations.
Our reports uncover bottlenecks, surface missed opportunities, and help align your people and processes to what great CX really looks like.
