Local authorities face increasing pressure to manage complex liability claims efficiently and cost-effectively. These claims, often long-tail cases such as employer liability claims, require specialist resources, legal expertise, and significant administrative effort to navigate and resolve. Traditionally, managing public sector claims has been time-consuming and fragmented, with multiple systems, stakeholders, and legal complexities creating inefficiencies. However, advancements in AI, data analytics, and automation are now streamlining claims management, enabling local authorities to improve claims outcomes while reducing costs. 

However, there is strong evidence to indicate that artificial intelligence (AI) and automation combined with trusted expertise can transform the way public sector claims are handled, ultimately saving money for the public purse.

We have demonstrated through harnessing technology that operating expenditure savings can be derived at circa 15%, with projected indemnity savings in the millions of pounds through improved IBNR (Incurred But Not Reported) for existing clients. This data underpins the financial benefits of leveraging smart automation and AI-driven claims solutions in the public sector.

The Digital Transformation of Public Sector Claims

At Pro Global, we understand the challenges that local authorities face in complex liability claims management. That’s why we offer a fully integrated solution combining human expertise supported by our PELICAN software – a one-stop platform designed to enhance efficiency, control, and claims outcomes.

Key Benefits of PELICAN:

A Unified Claims View – A single source of the truth i.e., a centralized system where all claims are handled and accessible in real-time, ensuring consistency.

Seamless Integration – Our fully integrated platform enables all key stakeholders and suppliers to streamline their operations by eliminating duplication, avoiding unnecessary handovers reducing time and cost.

Automated Workflows – Administrative tasks are automated providing real time workflow data speeding up resolution times and reducing administrative overhead.

Enhanced Data Quality – Improved data visibility via real time analytics and automated reporting suites leads to better decision-making, reduced claims leakage, and more robust fraud detection.

Cost Savings – By optimizing claims management processes, reducing legal fees, and enhancing operational controls, local authorities can achieve significant financial savings.

Transforming Claims Management for Better Outcomes

We are working closely with local authorities to support them in harnessing the power of technology to achieve a more effective, transparent, and data-driven approach to complex claims management. We are seeking to prove that by applying targeted AI and automation solutions local authorities can reduce the burden of handling complex liability claims but also enhance compliance, mitigate risks, and improve overall outcomes.

At Pro Global, we’re committed to supporting public sector organisations in navigating the complexities of claims management with innovative, technology-driven solutions.
