Discover how a leading insurance company leveraged RecordsKeeper.AI’s automated document handling to slash claim processing time
Pacific Life Insurance, a major player in the insurance sector serving over 2 million customers, transformed their claims processing operations through intelligent automation.
Their journey from manual document handling to streamlined efficiency demonstrates the power of modern record management in the insurance industry.
The Claims Processing Challenge
Insurance claims processing has always been document-intensive, requiring careful attention to detail while maintaining strict compliance standards. “Before automation, our claims department was overwhelmed with paperwork,” explains Jennifer Martinez, Claims Operations Director at Pacific Life. “Each claim required an average of 15-20 different documents, and processing times were affecting customer satisfaction.”
The situation reached a critical point when claim volumes increased by 40% following a natural disaster. The existing manual document handling system couldn’t cope with the surge, leading to significant backlogs and frustrated customers.
The Path to Transformation
Pacific Life implemented RecordsKeeper.AI’s automated document handling system, focusing on three critical areas:
Streamlined Document Processing
The transformation began with digitizing the entire claims documentation process. The new system automatically captures, categorizes, and validates incoming documents from multiple channels – email, fax, postal mail, and web uploads. Advanced OCR technology extracts relevant information, while AI algorithms verify document completeness and accuracy.
“What impressed us most was the system’s ability to learn,” shares Robert Chen, IT Director. “It quickly recognized patterns in claims documentation and could flag missing or inconsistent information automatically.”
Measurable Impact on Operations
The implementation delivered remarkable improvements across all aspects of claims processing:
The average claim processing time dropped from 12 days to just 4.8 days – a 60% reduction that significantly improved customer satisfaction. Document handling errors decreased by 95%, while the system’s ability to automatically route claims to appropriate departments reduced internal processing delays by 75%.
“Our claims adjusters can now focus on what they do best – evaluating claims and helping customers,” notes Martinez. “The system handles all the document organization and verification automatically.”

- Submit claims documentation digitally
- Track their claim’s progress in real-time
- Receive automated updates on missing documents
- Access their complete claim history instantly

Financial Impact
The automated document handling system delivered substantial cost savings:
Annual operational costs decreased by $1.5 million through reduced manual processing needs. The improved accuracy led to a 40% reduction in claim processing errors, while faster processing times resulted in higher customer retention rates.
Looking Forward
Pacific Life continues to explore advanced features of the platform, including:
Predictive analytics for fraud detection, automated policy renewals, and enhanced customer communication tools. The success has prompted the company to expand the system to other departments, including policy administration and underwriting.
“RecordsKeeper.AI has transformed how we handle documents across our organization,” concludes Martinez. “We’re not just processing claims faster; we’re providing better service to our customers while reducing operational costs.”
