Direct digital

One direct session tells every team something different.

Your website and app are where shoppers quote, buy, change policies, manage accounts and file claims with no one watching. ForMotiv reads how each session is completed and sends the right signal to growth, underwriting, fraud and claims in real time.

Bind with verification, skip the discount

One session, four teams’ signals, one decision before the policy issues.

Why direct is different

Online, applicants underwrite themselves.

Direct is your fastest-growing and least-supervised channel. Everything a carrier would normally learn from a conversation has to come from how the form is filled in.

Nobody reviews the answers

Rating answers, discounts and endorsements go straight to the rating engine. Behavior is the only check before bind.

Bots and AI agents arrive here first

Open quote flows are where scrapers, prefill harvesters and AI shopping agents show up at scale.

Without behavior, intent is invisible

How users move through the flow predicts their intent, so you can act in real time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does ForMotiv do for direct-to-consumer insurance?

ForMotiv reads behavior in every step of a carrier's own online quote and service journeys, so carriers can convert motivated shoppers, catch misrepresentation and fraud, and see where good customers struggle.

Which direct digital use cases does ForMotiv cover?

Common direct use cases include purchase intent and lead routing, drop-off rescue, premium leakage, bot and prefill abuse, account takeover and claims fraud, all from the same behavioral data.

Does ForMotiv slow down the online quote?

No. ForMotiv runs alongside the existing journey and returns results in milliseconds, so it does not add steps for genuine customers.

Can direct digital behavior feed a carrier's own models?

Yes. Behavioral features can be streamed into a carrier's own underwriting rules and models through a real-time API or batch files.

How does direct digital connect to other channels?

The same behavioral record follows the customer if they move to an agent, a call or chat, so every channel sees what happened before.

Your applications already know more than they say.
