- Usability Enhancements
- Mobile Optimization
- General Enhancements
The IQX platform is constantly improving, and our commitment to continuous improvement and alignment with our clients’ strategic objectives has enabled us to become the global leader in AI-driven solutions for the group insurance industry today.
Many of our latest enhancements and initiatives have already drawn praise from clients, and further establish our positioning on the leading edge of insurance innovation.
New Feature: AI Recommendation Engine for Insurers
To meet an increasing need for more streamlined underwriting and quoting, Global IQX is launching the most advanced recommendation and predictive analytics engine in the group insurance industry.
Built using a range of complex AI and machine learning techniques, the new Recommendation Engine allows insurers to make quoting recommendations for both new and existing client renewals based on demographic similarities and other data points such as size and industry.
IQX’s new Recommendation Engine auto-populated fields during quote setup.
Launching a Recommendation Engine as complex as this is an accomplishment in the insurance industry, where data is highly sensitive and not publicly available.
“The main challenge for recommendation systems in the group insurance industry is the lack of initial data and the constraints introduced by the Personally Identifiable Information regulations,” says Cristian Marcov, technical architect at IQX and expert in complex web applications.
Advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms were used to overcome this barrier, allowing our clients to benefit from actionable insights without sharing their data.
“It’s very exciting,” says Junaedur Rahman, an artificial intelligence expert and developer for the initiative, “there’s nothing else like it in the group insurance industry.”
The Recommendation Engine can automate underwriting, decrease the time to assemble a quote, and increase revenues and customer success by recommending the plan design that will be most successful for each carrier based on past success data.
“These new IQX components can greatly improve straight-through processing (STP) during peak periods like renewal periods when a large number of quotes must be processed in a short period of time,” adds Marcov.
AI-powered Census Scrubber Enhancements
IQX’s AI-powered Census Scrubber allows insurers to calculate accurate rates seamlessly without manual intervention or guesswork.
The IQX Census Scrubber offers automated mapping of data elements and values for imports into any file format. The rules-based Census Scrubber auto-corrects missing or erroneous values during census import using enhanced smart link scrubbing capabilities. Census data is logically assessed for incorrect information and corrected automatically.
One of IQX’s most popular AI-powered features, Census Scrubber recently received various performance and usability enhancements.

Additional ongoing mobile optimization is planned for the near future.
