AXA Mansard’s new digital tool boosts vehicle inspection experience

‎AXA Mansard Insurance, a member of the AXA Group, has announced the launch of its digital motor insurance inspection process in Nigeria. The solution, powered by Curacel, allows customers to complete required vehicle inspections by submitting photographs of their vehicles through their smartphones.

The process applies to the initiation of comprehensive motor insurance policies, policy renewals, and claims assessments.

‎This new feature further demonstrates AXA’s continued commitment to make the insurance process easy and personalized through digitization. The digital inspection system receives images submitted by customers, scans them through an automated review process, and generates inspection reports that are used within AXA Mansard’s existing underwriting and claims workflow.

‎Commenting on the tool, Chizuru Nwankwonta, chief technology officer, AXA Mansard Insurance, said: “At AXA Mansard, we continue to introduce solutions that make insurance processes easier and faster. This digital inspection option reduces the need for physical assessments and offers customers more flexibility in how they complete key steps in their motor insurance journey.”

‎The digital inspection system was developed in collaboration with Curacel, an insurance technology provider whose platform supports image submission, automated screening, and documentation processing. The integration is part of AXA Mansard’s approach to working with external technology partners on specific operational modules.

‎The digital inspection process is currently available nationwide. Customers will be able to access the feature through designated digital channels, including AXA Mansard’s customer platforms and links made available during motor insurance on boarding.
