Pacifica, Generali France, Aviva France, Thélem assurances and Sogessur today signed a letter of intent with a view to studying possible pooling in procurement relating to management of non-life insurance claims. The collaboration would entail Pacifica, Thélem assurances and Sogessur joining the Kareo economic interest group and Generali and Aviva acquiring a stake in Assercar.
This would make Kareo, which has already brought together Generali France and Aviva France, the structure for discussions between the various insurance companies concerning possible pooling in procurement relating to management of non-life insurance claims.
At the same time, Assercar, which manages the network of accredited car repairers for Pacifica, Sogessur and Thélem assurances, would have to set up the target shared network for the five insurance companies and their subsidiaries.
This initiative fits in with the “industrial” strategy of pooling procurement in order to control costs and develop new services for clients. If the negotiations currently in progress are successful, the target organisational structure would be implemented as of 1 April 2011.
