ARTE Generali ProCollect³ simplifies management of insured art collections 

ARTE Generali ProCollect³, in partnership with SpeakART, is going to launch a digital solution for the insurance management of ART objects, which can be shared among clients, brokers and insurance companies. The tool allows users to create and manage insured collections (permanent / temporary) of objects integrated with an advanced collection management system. The flexible, collaborative and user-friendly web platform supports the creation of collections, related certificates, insurance inventories,  condition and status reports. All functionalities are interlinked and made easily accessible to stakeholders through a delegation and invitation system.

Access to a specialised service area created for brokers accelerates and simplifies underwriting processes

To enable sales partners to concentrate on their core competence, advising their customers, ARTE Generali's digital services support their daily work in an area created especially for them.

A dynamic questionnaire leads to an initial screening at the customer visit in order to shorten long discussions at the customer's premises and to be able to assess the risk. In addition, the ProCollect³ platform is made available to partners for their clients.
