Manulife integrates GenAI in contact centres, rollout starts in Singapore

About 68% of agents used the tool within two weeks of its pilot launch.

Manulife is integrating GenAI with agent operations in Singapore and enhancing capabilities in contact centres and underwriting processes.

Manulife’s use of GenAI in contact centres will automate call summaries, perform trend analysis, and manage contract lookups in seconds, boosting efficiency.

The first rollout in Asia will begin in Singapore by the end of 2024.

In Singapore, Manulife has launched two key initiatives. The Sales Agent Enablement tool, first introduced to over 2,000 agents in July, leverages GenAI to analyse customer preferences and generate personalised engagement ideas.

About 68% of agents used the tool within two weeks of its pilot launch. Manulife plans to expand this tool to Japan by the end of the year.

Additionally, the GenAI-powered Underwriting Assistant will streamline underwriting by reducing processing times from five days to three for high-net-worth products. This tool will be introduced in October 2024.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
