what we set out to do

Develop a new Texas Farm Bureau Insurance app that better serves their 500,000 policyholders needs and reduces customer support complexities

Exceptional, JD Power award-winning customer service is something to be proud of, but relying on it due to a lack of digital options is far from ideal. Texas Farm Bureau Insurance realized that their existing app left policyholders turning to customer support for even simple tasks. To transform their digital experience, they focused on understanding the unique journeys, needs, and pain points of their target personas. Their goal was to create a seamless, empowering experience that enabled policyholders to handle common tasks quickly and effortlessly, ultimately driving customer satisfaction, retention, and app usage.

Our goal was to create an ‘agent in your pocket’ experience while laying a foundation for continuous learning and improvement. This required a deep understanding of policyholders’ needs, pain points, and opportunities drawn from leading digital experiences across industries. Through in-depth user interviews with both customers and non-customers, we gathered valuable insights on choosing a provider, understanding policies, submitting claims, and mobile app expectations. 

Within a speedy nine months, we delivered a product that both solved well-informed issues for policyholders and gave new life to the brand. 

The new experience provided ID card access and saving, policy details, billing, claim abilities and more. We found a way to give policyholder’s access to their agent when needed but offered as much self-solutioning in app as possible. The app offered key solutions for policy holders while also creating individualized personal experiences for policyholders that are easy to use and keep them coming back.
