Remote work exposed the limitations of legacy claims infrastructure

The Remote Adjuster Struggle

Pre-pandemic, claims teams worked from centralized offices with shared infrastructure. Remote work broke these workflows:

  • Inaccessible systems: Legacy claims platforms designed for office networks don't work reliably over VPN. Slow performance, frequent disconnections, timeout errors.
  • Local file chaos: Documents saved to personal laptops because shared drives are inaccessible remotely. When adjusters need help or go on vacation, no one else can find their files.
  • Email dependency: With no shared workspace, teams over-rely on email. Critical information buried in individual inboxes. New team members have no visibility into claim history.
  • Communication fragmentation: Teams use 5+ tools: email, Slack/Teams, text messages, phone calls, video meetings. Claim-related conversations happen everywhere and nowhere.
  • Version control nightmares: Multiple people edit the same claim file. Conflicting versions exist with no clear "source of truth." Updates overwrite each other.
  • Security risks: Sensitive claim files on personal devices, unsecured home WiFi, documents shared via personal email. Compliance and security teams panicking.

Remote adjusters spend 60-90 minutes per day fighting tools instead of working claims.

The Management Visibility Gap

Managers struggle to supervise distributed teams effectively:

  • No real-time visibility: Can't see what adjusters are working on, which claims need attention, or where bottlenecks exist. Daily standup meetings become status report exercises.
  • Quality control breakdown: Difficult to spot-check claim handling quality when files are scattered across individual laptops and email accounts.
  • Uneven workload distribution: Can't easily see adjuster caseloads or identify when someone is overloaded. Work assignments happen via email and spreadsheets.
  • Training challenges: Onboarding new remote hires is painful when there's no centralized knowledge base or documented workflows. New adjusters isolated without office mentorship.
  • Performance tracking: Limited metrics on cycle time, documentation quality, customer satisfaction. Relying on lagging indicators and anecdotal feedback.

Claims infrastructure was built for centralized offices, not distributed teams

Legacy On-Premise Systems

Most claims platforms were designed 10-20 years ago when "remote work" meant occasional VPN access. They assume high-bandwidth office networks, shared file servers, and centralized IT infrastructure.

These systems perform terribly over residential internet connections. Document uploads timeout. Screens load slowly. Users experience constant disconnections requiring re-login.

Shared Drive Dependency

Claims documents traditionally lived on network shared drives (S:\ drive, departmental folders, etc.). This worked fine when everyone was in the office on the same local network.

Remote access to shared drives is painful: slow VPN performance, sync conflicts, permissions errors. Adjusters work around this by downloading files locally, breaking the shared file system entirely.

Synchronous Collaboration Assumptions

Office-based workflows assumed synchronous collaboration: "walk over to Bob's desk and ask about that claim," "grab the file from the filing cabinet," "meet in the conference room to review the estimate."

Remote teams need asynchronous collaboration tools: threaded discussions, @mentions, activity feeds, document commenting. But legacy systems offer none of this.

No Cloud-First Architecture

Legacy systems weren't built for cloud access. They're client-server applications that require local software installation, database connections, and network drive mapping.

True cloud platforms are accessed via web browser from any device, anywhere. Legacy systems will never deliver that experience because their architecture is fundamentally wrong for remote work.

Cloud-native platform designed for distributed claims teams from day one

Regure is built as a cloud-first platform optimized for remote and hybrid teams. Every feature assumes distributed work: browser-based access, centralized cloud storage, real-time collaboration, mobile optimization, and unified communication.

1. Universal Browser Access

No software installation. No VPN required. Access Regure from any device with a web browser:

  • Works on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook — anything with a modern browser
  • Optimized for common home internet speeds (no corporate fiber required)
  • Responsive design works on desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile
  • Fast performance via global CDN and edge caching
  • Offline mode for working during internet outages (syncs when reconnected)
  • Single sign-on (SSO) integration with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Okta

Remote adjusters access the same fast, reliable platform whether working from home, coffee shop, or office.

2. Centralized Cloud Document Storage

Zero local file storage. All claim documents live in secure cloud storage with instant access:

  • Documents uploaded once, accessible to entire team (based on permissions)
  • Full-text search finds documents in seconds across thousands of claims
  • Automatic version control — never overwrite someone else's changes
  • Revision history shows who changed what and when
  • Document preview without downloading (no local file clutter)
  • Secure sharing via temporary links (no emailing sensitive files)

When an adjuster goes on vacation, colleagues access their claims instantly. No "files are on my laptop" problems. See Document Processing for storage details.

3. Built-In Collaboration Tools

All claim communication happens in-context, not scattered across email and chat:

  • Threaded discussions: Comment on claims, documents, or specific fields. Full conversation history attached to claim.
  • @mentions: Tag team members for input. They get notifications and can respond directly in thread.
  • Activity feed: See all recent actions on a claim (documents added, status changed, approvals requested). No need to ask "what's happening with this claim?"
  • Document annotations: Mark up estimates, photos, and reports with comments and highlights. Collaborate without email back-and-forth.
  • Video call integration: Launch Zoom/Teams meeting directly from claim file with automatic recording and attachment to claim.

Asynchronous collaboration lets teams work across time zones without constant meetings or email.

4. Real-Time Manager Visibility

Managers get complete visibility into distributed team performance without micromanaging:

  • Team dashboard: See all active claims, assignments, status, priority across entire team in real-time
  • Workload balancing: Visual display of caseload per adjuster. Identify who's overloaded or has capacity.
  • Bottleneck detection: Automatically flag claims stuck in specific stages (pending documents, pending approval, etc.)
  • Quality monitoring: Random claim sampling for quality review. Annotate feedback directly on claims.
  • Performance metrics: Cycle time, documentation quality, customer satisfaction by adjuster. Identify coaching opportunities.
  • Activity monitoring: See what adjusters are working on without interrupting them. No need for constant "what's your status?" check-ins.

Trust but verify. Managers have visibility without being intrusive. Remote workers feel trusted, not surveilled.

5. Mobile-Optimized Interface

Field adjusters and remote workers access full functionality from phones and tablets:

  • Upload photos directly from mobile camera to claim files
  • Capture voice notes and transcribe to claim activity log
  • Review and approve settlements from mobile device
  • Respond to @mentions and claim discussions on-the-go
  • GPS-tagged site visit documentation
  • Offline mode for working in areas with poor cell coverage

Field adjusters document site visits without returning to office or laptop. Photos, notes, and observations immediately available to entire team.

6. Security for Distributed Teams

Enterprise security that works for remote teams without creating friction:

  • Multi-factor authentication: Required for all access. Supports authenticator apps, SMS, hardware keys.
  • Device management: Remote wipe capability if device is lost or employee departs
  • Session management: Automatic logout after inactivity. IP allowlisting for extra-sensitive operations.
  • Encrypted at rest and in transit: AES-256 encryption for stored data, TLS 1.3 for transmission
  • Granular permissions: Role-based access ensures users only see authorized claims and data
  • Audit logging: Complete record of who accessed what, when, from which IP address

Security teams comfortable with remote access. Compliance requirements met. See Security Overview for details.
