Claude-based benefits assistant and document extraction for insurance clients
Newfront cut document processing costs 60% and saved about a month of HR time a year with Claude
Problem
Insurance work at Newfront involved slow manual tasks. Employees needed answers on coverage limits and eligible expenses. Staff also had to pull data out of loss run PDFs and move it between modern and legacy systems.
Approach
Newfront built on Claude through Anthropic's platform after testing it on twenty hard benefits questions. It built a benefits assistant that answers employee questions about coverage and life-event changes at any hour. It also built a contract review tool for finance and legal teams, and a platform step that extracts structured data from loss run PDFs.
Results
Takeaway
Newfront reported savings in two places, document handling cost and HR staff time. The company said it had identified hundreds more workflows to improve.
