Apave, Comforth Karoo and Generali France launch RiskCare, a unique and comprehensive industrial risk prevention and control offer

Designed by Generali France, the European leader in the insurance sector, Comforth Karoo, the leader in the design and management of digital platforms (Salesforce), and Apave, the leader in inspection and risk control, RiskCare is a collaborative risk management solution for industrial companies, their insurance intermediaries and their insurers. RiskCare places the industrial client at the centre of an ecosystem of advice and services with the common objective of identifying and anticipating risks in order to avoid their occurrence.
Indeed, Industrial Risk is a very complex branch of insurance in which prevention is the main lever for protecting oneself from major losses. However, insurers and insurance intermediaries still have few tools to activate this lever in an optimal way with their corporate clients.

Unique on the market, RiskCare is based on :

• A collaborative digital platform to maintain and enhance continuous exchanges between its industrial members, intermediaries and insurers and to pilot high-impact actions in terms of risk reduction.
• A global service approach: each industrial client who is a member of the platform has access to personalised advice and recommendations adapted to their production tool in terms of prevention and control of their risks.

With RiskCare, risks can be identified, qualified and corrected more quickly and accurately. This means fewer accidents and better business continuity for industrial customers.

This platform has been :

• Conceived and designed by Generali France, with a portfolio of over 200,000 companies, from very small businesses to multinationals, which the company insures in all segments of the insurance market.
• Developed with Apave, a leading company in the control of technical, human, environmental and digital risks, particularly and historically in the industrial sector. Apave, with its 8,000 engineers and experts, offers services in five areas: inspection, training, testing and measurement, certification and labelling, consulting and technical support.
• Developed by Comfort Karoo, a subsidiary of the Magellan Partners group and the first French pure player on Salesforce. Comforth Karoo assists its clients in their digital transformation by advising and integrating the products of the Salesforce platform within organisations.

In order to deploy RiskCare, the three players have joined forces in a joint venture whose operational responsibility has been entrusted to Marc Espieux, who comes from the Generali France teams where he was responsible for industrial risk prevention. The new legal entity has a specific visual identity:

Many innovative features are available on RiskCare :

• Shared diagnoses and proposals adapted to the company's activity.
• Self-diagnosis tools and automatic personalised recommendations.
• Access to an ecosystem of trusted service providers to implement corrective actions to resolve any anomalies.
• Provision of performance indicators based on the data collected.
• Sharing of experiences and best practices according to the profile and activity of industrial sites.

Artificial Intelligence will multiply the impact of the platform with :

• Consolidation of data from site visits
• Data collection via connected objects (IoT) allowing a better knowledge of the equipment and installations of industrial sites
• Guided self-diagnosis and AI-based risk assessment
•  

During the development phases of the platform, users have demonstrated a strong capacity to appropriate this new tool, in particular thanks to the increased efficiency and precision in the monitoring of their risk management. 
RiskCare offers its prevention platform as well as its engineering services in white label and under license to insurers and brokers, protecting their data and their independence, to manage their own Industrial Risk portfolio.

Régis LEMARCHAND, Member of the Executive Committee of Generali France in charge of the professional and corporate market, says « With RiskCare, we are transforming the prevention business by making it more accessible to industrial clients, general agents and brokers. In this way, we are providing a higher value service, strengthening the advisory role and added value of our intermediaries and improving the quality and monitoring of risks for the insurer. RiskCare is also a high quality digital solution developed with the know-how of Comforth Karoo and with offers that will be directly proposed by Apave in relation to the prevention recommendations. In a word, RiskCare is more than a new tool, it is a revolutionary ecosystem for corporate risk prevention. »

« The innovation deployed at the heart of the RiskCare platform allows us to create a unique and predictive service for managers and operators of industrial sites. By combining our know-how, expertise and Salesforce products, we are providing industrial players with fully secure human and technological solutions to reduce their costs and be better prepared for risks. We are very proud of the creation of RiskCare with our partners Generali and Apave » says Didier ZEITOUN, President of Comforth Karoo and Magellan Partners.

Marc ESPIEUX, RiskCare's Managing Director, said: « RiskCare offers operational and collaborative solutions to all risk managers: insurers, manufacturers and intermediaries. Since its testing phase, RiskCare has been acclaimed by its users for the simplicity of the solution, the performance of the services, and the results-oriented approach. It is thanks to this DNA that RiskCare will be able to develop with its clients and become a key solution in the market. »
