For insurance carriers and TPAs · Early-customer engagement

Claims ops, run by operators who built it for OTAs first.

We’ve spent years running the B2C operations of a travel-tech company end to end. We’re applying that same operating model to insurance claims, and we’re taking one to two early customers in 2026.

370+ agents in active operations
Multi-party coordination experience
24/7 US-timezone coverage

What you should know upfront.

Most BPO pages claim deep insurance expertise with a logo wall and made-up surge numbers. We don’t have that, and we won’t pretend we do.

What we have is an operating model that runs the entire B2C function of a Trivago-owned OTA. 100+ agents. Tier 1 through Tier 3. Multi-party coordination across customers, suppliers, and partners. Time-sensitive escalations. Chargeback recovery. Daily reconciliation across systems that don’t agree with each other.

If that operating reality sounds like claims operations to you, it should. The lifecycle is similar. The failure modes are similar. The talent profile is similar. We’re now extending it into insurance, and we want to do it with carriers who’d rather be early partners than late adopters.

The transferable architecture

What we know about claims, before we’ve run them.

The operational shape of a claim is not new to us. Different vocabulary, same architecture.

Multi-party coordination

OTA: Customer → Platform → Supplier → Hotel
Insurance: Customer → Carrier → Adjuster → Vendor / Provider / Repairer

Same coordination problem. Same failure modes when one party drops the ball.

Time-sensitive escalation

OTA: A booking failure at check-in cascades into chargebacks, reviews, and lost lifetime value within 48 hours.
Insurance: A delayed FNOL response or stalled claim cascades into regulatory complaints, bad-faith exposure, and NPS damage within 72 hours.

Both businesses run on operational rhythm. Both pay heavily when it breaks.

Multi-system data integrity

OTA: PMS, booking platform, channel manager, supplier feed. Every record disagrees with every other record.
Insurance: Core policy admin, claims platform, billing system, vendor portals, regulatory filings. Same problem at higher stakes.

We’ve spent years operating in the gap between systems that don’t agree. That’s a transferable skill.

What we’d run

Three pillars. Nine functions.

Each will run as its own discipline.

Early engagements start with one or two functions. Nobody buys the full stack on day one. The list below is what we’d build out together over a 90-day pilot.

01
Customer Facing

Every touch point with the claimant, from intake through resolution.

FNOL intake

First Notice of Loss, across phone, email, chat, and digital portal. Trained on your products, your policy language, and your jurisdictional rules. Routing logic built into the workflow, not bolted on top.

Claims customer service

Status inquiries, document collection, claimant updates, complaint routing. The volume function that eats most insurers’ CS budgets, and where AHT and FCR move dramatically with the right operating model.

Claimant communications

Outbound updates, decision letters, denial explanations. Done with the empathy of a human and the consistency of a process.

02
Claims Operations

The operational layer that moves a claim from open to closed.

Document and evidence intake

Claim documentation, medical records, police reports, photographs, vendor invoices. Indexed, validated, and routed to the right adjuster queue.

Subrogation operations

Demand letter preparation, third-party recovery follow-up, recovery tracking. Often underinvested in by carriers, often the difference between a profitable and unprofitable book.

Denial management

Appeals intake, evidence assembly, regulatory correspondence. Treated as a P&L function, not a complaints inbox.

03
Risk & Integrity

The functions that protect the carrier when something goes wrong.

SIU support operations

Suspicious claim flagging, investigator support, evidence collation. We don’t replace your SIU team. We run the operational layer underneath them so they spend time investigating, not chasing paperwork.

Quality assurance and audit

Claims file audit, regulatory readiness, adjuster QA scoring. The unsexy operational layer that protects the carrier when something goes wrong.

CAT surge capacity (planned)

Pre-built surge pods we’d activate within 72 hours of a triggered event. We’d build this with you in year two, after stabilizing day-to-day ops. Anyone promising you tested CAT surge capacity in 2026 is lying, including us.

Early customer terms

Why early matters.

Being early customer number one is different from being customer number fifty. The early engagement comes with things later customers don’t get.

01

Founder-led implementation

The first insurance engagement is run by Arbitrail leadership, not handed to a project manager. You talk to the people who’ll architect the operation, not to a sales engineer.

02

Custom pod design

The pod is built around your workflow, not adapted from a generic claims template. Your tools, your jurisdictions, your product lines, your escalation rules. We’re learning insurance from you, and we adjust the model to fit what you actually do.

03

Co-built playbook

Every workflow we build with you gets documented and refined. You get the playbook. We get the operational learning. Both sides win.

04

Preferential pricing through year one

Early customers price differently than year-three customers. We’ll lock in pricing that reflects the partnership, not the standard rate card.

05

Direct line to leadership

No account management layer between you and decision-makers. Issues escalate to founders in hours, not weeks.

Fit check

We’re not the right partner for every insurer.

We are the right partner for one or two specific kinds.

Good fit

  • Carriers or TPAs handling 5,000+ claims per month with US-timezone CS exposure
  • Operations leaders who’d rather build the model with us than wait for it to be off-the-shelf
  • Insurance executives who’ve worked with offshore BPOs before and have specific opinions about what worked and what didn’t
  • Companies in P&C, specialty, or hybrid lines where operational variation is the norm, not the exception

Probably not the right fit

  • Fortune-100 carriers needing instant 1,000-seat ramp on day one. We’ll get there, but not in 2026.
  • Pure health insurance RCM operations. We’re building a separate practice for that.
  • Pricing-only conversations. If cost is the only lens, an established offshore BPO will beat us on rate card.
Engagement model

From first conversation to live ops.

STEP 01
Week 1 to 2

Discovery and scope

Founder-led conversation. We map your current claims operation to our operating model. We tell you what we’d commit to and what we wouldn’t.

STEP 02
Week 3 to 4

POC design

Scoped pilot. One function, one jurisdiction, one product line. Volumes, SLAs, and pricing agreed in writing.

STEP 03
Days 30 to 120

Live pilot

Dedicated pod stood up. Daily monitoring, weekly business reviews, monthly executive readouts. Real volume, real results, real numbers.

STEP 04
Day 120

Decision point

You decide. Continue and expand, continue at pilot scale, or end with a clean exit. Pilot pricing reflects the risk you’re taking on us, not the other way around.

You contract with one Arbitrail SG entity. One PM is accountable. One team delivers.

Common questions

What insurance leaders ask us first.

You haven’t run insurance claims before. Why should we trust you?
We won’t ask you to. The pilot is structured so you carry minimal risk: 90 days, one function, scoped volume, pricing that reflects the early-customer terms. We earn the next phase by performing in the first one. If we don’t, you walk.
What insurance experience does your team actually have?
Direct claims experience: not yet. Operational experience: 100+ agents running multi-party, time-sensitive, high-volume B2C operations every day, since 2021. We’re partnering with insurance subject-matter advisors for the pilot phase, and we hire claims expertise into the pod itself. We’re transparent about what we’re building.
How do you handle regulatory compliance, bad-faith exposure, jurisdictional rules, NAIC requirements?
We don’t pretend to be a compliance authority on day one. The pilot scope deliberately starts with operationally-bounded functions (FNOL intake, document operations, CS) before moving into adjudication-adjacent work. Compliance ownership stays with you. We staff to your standards, not the other way around.
Can you handle CAT events?
Not on day one. We can scope CAT surge capacity into a year-two engagement once we’ve stabilized day-to-day ops. Anyone promising you tested CAT surge capacity in 2026 is lying.
What’s the contract length and exit?
90-day pilot. After pilot, fixed-term engagement with 30 days’ notice to scale down, 90 days’ notice to end. No multi-year lock-ins. No early-termination fees. Pilot has a clean exit by design.
Where are your teams based?
Headquarters in Singapore, delivery hubs across the Philippines. US-timezone coverage available, multi-language support across English, Spanish, Tagalog, and on-request additions.
How is pricing structured?
Per-seat for staff augmentation, per-transaction for high-volume functions, or hybrid by mutual agreement. Early customers get preferential pricing through year one. All-in pricing. No hidden charges for benefits, software, equipment, or compliance.

Be early, or wait.

The model we built for travel-tech ops is going to translate into insurance. We’re certain of that operationally. We just need the first one or two carriers to prove it together. Late customers will buy a proven service at standard pricing. Early customers will build the proven service with us, at terms that reflect the partnership.

If you’re the kind of operations leader who’d rather shape what comes next than buy what already exists, we should talk.
