As with other spheres of commercial activity, technology has brought changes to agricultural insurance. The primary benefit for farmers is that the claims process has been simplified and sped up, a boon for farmers who need capital available to keep operating effectively. Assessors now routinely visit farms and digitally capture claims data on their electronic tablets. Information is then submitted instantly to the claims department for settlement. The claims process is quicker, capturing errors are minimised, and the process between claims submission and payment becomes painless.
