Handling risk complexity across large portfolios for Helvetia France

Where the pressure comes from

At Helvetia France, renewal decisions are made across portfolios of insured sites, each with its own risk profile.

For every renewal cycle, brokers receive large volumes of documentation describing fire risk and other exposures. The information is detailed, technical, and often inconsistent in structure.

What makes the process difficult is not the volume alone, but the combination of:

  • Multiple documents per site
  • Different formats and levels of detail
  • The need to compare and interpret information across locations  

Before any decision could be made, this information had to be read, interpreted, and mentally structured by the broker.

What made this hard to scale

The work required experience and attention, which made it difficult to standardize.

As the number of sites increased:

  • The time required to evaluate each renewal grew
  • The process depended more on individual expertise
  • Differences in interpretation became more likely
  • Expanding the portfolio meant increasing workload

The limiting factor was not access to data, but the effort needed to make it usable.

What changed in practice

With KAPTO AI, risk documentation is now processed as it arrives, and the information is made available in a structured form.

For each insured site:

  • Documents are analyzed automatically
  • Relevant risk information is identified and organized
  • The output is prepared for direct use in renewal evaluation

Brokers no longer start from raw documents. They work from a consistent representation of risk across cases.

The results and the impact on operations

  • Around 95% of the process handled automatically
  • 80% reduction in processing time
  • Structured risk information available across all renewal cases

Renewal evaluation no longer scales linearly with volume.

  • Larger portfolios can be handled without increasing workload at the same rate
  • Decision-making becomes more consistent across cases
  • Brokers spend less time preparing information and more time evaluating it

Helvetia France now manages complex renewal cycles with greater control, even as the number of insured sites and documents continues to grow.

“What matters most is working with someone you can trust. You’re not testing a tool, you’reputting something into production that your teams will rely on every day. A lot of solutions look good in a demo, but that’s not the hard part. The real challenge is making it work in production, with all the constraints that come with it. That’s where our experience with KAPTO made the difference, it was something that actually worked in a real operational environment.”
