Applications for Mobile Devices
Auto-Owners Insurance was founded in 1916 and is among the premier insurance companies in the country. Understanding customer needs and providing great service are among the top priorities of the company.
With the increasing usage of mobile devices, it is becoming extremely critical for companies to provide mobile solutions for their customers.
Working with Auto-Owners Insurance, we developed a mobile application for the three major mobile platforms; iPhone, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile. With our application, mobile users can locate nearby independent Auto-Owners agents on a map via GPS or searching by address or zip code.
Auto-Owners Insurance Independent Agents can also use our application to begin the formal insurance claim process to provide a speedy response their customers. Auto-Owners Insurance customers can gather information about a potential claim and send this information to their agent, or they can store it for later use.
As an example scenario, an Auto-Owners Insurance customer has a car accident. The customer would use our application to gather information about the accident, including pictures. The customer would then search for an Auto-Owners Insurance agent to contact them about their potential claim.
The applications were developed using Objective-C for iPhone, Java for BlackBerry, and C# for Windows Mobile.
