The system captures data on-premises and processes it using cloud AI, combining convolutional neural networks, NLP, optical character recognition and handwritten text recognition to convert unstructured claims documents into structured data, aiming to help insurers settle claims within minutes instead of weeks. For a handwritten car claims case, the model achieved a handwritten character error rate of 7.25%. The company uses Google Kubernetes Engine and Container Registry for its European clients and supports on-premises deployment for insurance customers.","company":"omni:us","industry":"Insurance","country":"Germany","aiCapabilities":["Document Intelligence","Computer Vision","Natural Language Processing"],"technology":["Google Kubernetes Engine","Container Registry","Cloud Storage","Cloud Load Balancing","Cloud GPUs","Cloud IAM","TensorFlow","PyTorch"],"deployment":"Hybrid","problemStatement":"For providers, auto insurance claims processing is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. Each claim unleashes a flood of paperwork, and it falls to insurance underwriters to gather, validate, and process vehicle registration details, police reports, accident forms, photos, repair estimates, invoices, and other documents from various sources and in a variety of formats. \"This year alone insurance companies will spend about US$250 billion to just handle claims, not settle them,\" says omni:us co-founder and CEO Sofie Quidenus-Wahlforss.","solutionApproach":"omni:us is integrating a hybrid back office of on-premises and cloud-based visual neural networks, natural language processing (NLP), optical character, and handwritten text recognition with the goal of gaining control over and intelligence from a vast amount of unstructured information. omni:us aligns forms into global templates using computer vision processing, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and validates results with insurance claims professionals for settlement or further investigation, including fraud checking.","businessValue":"omni:us reduced AI pipeline deployment time from 2 days to 4 hours. For one handwritten claims case for a car, the model achieved a handwritten character error rate of 7.25 percent. The company seeks to help insurers settle claims within minutes instead of weeks by cutting in half the amount of time it takes to process claims, and is operating in six European companies and the United States, conducting pilot projects with nearly 30 clients.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://cloud.google.com/customers/omni-us","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-08-29T09:02:00.808Z","publishedAtSource":"pipeline","updatedAt":"2026-08-29T09:02:00.808Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/omni-us-a-cloud-ai-pipeline-brings-order-to-insurance-claim-processing.
