The True Cost of Manual Customer Onboarding

Manual customer onboarding is one of the biggest hidden costs in insurance businesses. Between the direct labor costs — 20 hours per week at $60/hour — and the indirect costs of errors, delays, and missed opportunities, most insurance teams are spending far more than they realize. When a single mistake in customer onboarding can cascade into customer churn, compliance issues, or revenue loss, the true cost of "good enough" manual processes becomes staggering.

The good news: automating customer onboarding with AI delivers one of the fastest payback periods of any business investment. By eliminating repetitive manual work, reducing errors by 80%, and scaling capacity without adding headcount, insurance businesses are seeing annual savings of $69K or more. Below, we break down exactly where those savings come from — with transparent assumptions so you can map this to your own numbers.
