Auto Insurance Company Goes High Tech

Auto insurance company GEICO unveiled plans to expand their technology reach with apps for the iPad and Android. The GloveBox app will add more features, according to a report by Insurance Technology. “GEICO wants the best experience for our customers at all times,” Dave Weaver, manager of mobile applications, told Insurance Technology. “Our mobile applications for iPad mobile digital devices and Android operating system were built with that in mind.”

Want to pay an insurance bill? There’s an app for that. Want to access insurance ID cards, record accident information, call a GEICO representative or view GEICO videos? There’s an app for that too. The idea is to help consumers through an accident and help them pay their bills. “Instead of simply shrinking our existing website, we reinvented the interaction with our latest applications,” Steve Smith, assistant vice president of GEICO’s Internet business unit, told Insurance Technology.

The company currently insures 16 million vehicles and recently announced they’re hiring hundreds of new workers.
