Every company strives for a great customer experience.

But often times, being a customer can be a pain. From calling support to scheduling an appointment—the tasks required to be a customer can, more often than not, feel like work.

But what if in today’s technologically-driven economy—there is a shifting customer experience? That, by empowering the customer to actually do some of the work, you make their experience better overall.

This is what the HOVER team has uncovered in their service. That the customer is fully capable and motivated to use their technology, much more so than going through the archaic motions of assisting adjusters on site.

On today’s episode of FNO: InsureTech, we are joined by Kevin Reiley and Justin Hancher from the HOVER team. HOVER is a 3D technology company that creates fully measured, customizable 3D models.

Tune in to this episode to hear Kevin and Justin discuss what they’ve learned about the modern-day consumer, so you can apply those teachings to your product or service.
