Case Study
Digital Mailroom for a Leading Insurance Provider
Learn how an insurance company reduced mailroom processing costs by 30% and accelerated annual deposits by $1.8 billion via XBP’s Digital Mailroom solution.
Challenge
A leading insurance provider depended on manual, paper-based procedures to handle claims, payments, and customer correspondence. Each incoming document required handling, sorting, and data entry, creating slow turnaround times and operational bottlenecks.
Because the process lacked visibility and accountability, time-sensitive documents often stalled in the mailroom. Customers frequently contacted the call center for updates that the insurer could not trace, adding pressure to service teams.
Ultimately, the mailroom began “crashing in real time”—documents entered the process but disappeared within manual workflows. Urgent claims could not be prioritized, and delays frustrated employees and customers alike.

XBP Global offers Digital Mailroom Automation
XBP introduced a fully digital, AI-powered Digital Mailroom (DMR) to overhaul the insurer’s incoming document operations. All intake channels—mobile submissions, mailed documents, faxes, and EDI feeds—were brought together into one unified digital pipeline.
Process Flow
With this approach, customers could submit documents from their smartphones while the organization continued supporting traditional mail and fax.
The transformation also required new facilities, new equipment, and refreshed workflows to enable consistent digital processing. AI-based extraction identified document types automatically, and rules-based routing ensured urgent claims moved ahead of routine correspondence. Each document received a digital fingerprint, giving staff complete traceability throughout the process.
As the insurer’s long-term partner, XBP has continued to expand automation across additional workflows. The collaboration spans more than a decade, with ongoing improvements extending deeper into the revenue cycle.
