Industry Comparison
Salesforce Financial Services Cloud offers CRM capabilities for insurers, but adapting a sales-centric platform to claims handling and policy administration requires additional customisation. SwiftCase delivers purpose-built FNOL-to-settlement workflows, bordereaux reporting, and FCA-compliant audit trails out of the box.
Reasons teams in your industry are choosing SwiftCase over Salesforce.
Common challenges insurance teams face when using Salesforce for operations.
Salesforce treats insurance cases as generic service tickets. There is no built-in FNOL intake form, claims triage logic, or settlement workflow. Building these typically requires custom objects, Apex triggers, and often a Salesforce implementation partner, requiring additional consulting investment.
MGAs and delegated authority holders must produce bordereaux reports for capacity providers. Salesforce does not include built-in bordereaux generation, requiring custom report builders or third-party tools that add complexity and cost.
Salesforce uses per-user licensing, and with a 40-person claims handling team, licence costs add up quickly. Adding seasonal adjusters or third-party loss assessors further increases costs.
Salesforce field history tracking is limited to 20 fields per object by default, and full audit trail requires Shield Event Monitoring at additional cost. FCA inspections require comprehensive, tamper-proof records across every customer touchpoint.
Purpose-built capabilities that insurance operations teams rely on.
From first notification of loss through triage, investigation, reserve setting, and settlement, SwiftCase provides a structured claims workflow with automated task assignment, deadline tracking, and real-time status dashboards built specifically for insurance operations.
Generate bordereaux reports, management information packs, and capacity provider submissions directly from your claims data. No manual spreadsheet compilation or third-party reporting tools required.
Every case action, communication, and document is automatically logged with timestamps and user attribution. Built-in workflow rules enforce Consumer Duty fair value assessments and vulnerability flagging at every stage.
Handle claimant calls, emails, SMS, and WhatsApp messages through Switchboard, with AI-powered triage that routes enquiries to the right handler and logs every interaction against the relevant claim.
