Innovation: Innovative Products & Services
The forces of change in our industry present not only risk but also significant opportunities. We continually leverage our innovation ecosystem and data-centric culture to provide new products and services to the insurance market that align with our three strategic innovation priorities. Here are some examples of those innovative products and services and how we are using technology to deliver them.
Innovative products & services
Connected Protection
- Our Connected Protection program helps our property customers reduce risk by introducing them to Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, such as smart devices, and a network of preferred suppliers who can provide them.
- The smart devices provide customers with real-time feedback and alerts through a smartphone or computer dashboard. The devices can address a range of risks, such as water leaks and broken manufacturing equipment, while the suppliers can offer potential discounts and smart device guidance.
Using AI to streamline submission and quoting processes
- Insurance quote requests often require significant manual effort to extract information from submitted documents before an underwriter can fully evaluate and price the risk. By organizing valuable unstructured data from submission documents, AI augments our underwriting capabilities, enhancing risk selection and increasing efficiency while also enabling agents and brokers to write more business more quickly.
Travelers’ third-party claims administration services
- Through its subsidiary Constitution State Services (CSS), Travelers has provided claim management services for more than 40 years. CSS acts as a third-party administrator for larger commercial customers for workers compensation claims, general liability claims, commercial auto claims and property claims.
- CSS provides a prompt, focused response to claims, working collaboratively with our clients to efficiently pay what is owed, manage expenses and provide excellent customer service. CSS is able to deliver superior results by leveraging its national scale and technical expertise.
BrokerTech Ventures
- We partner with BrokerTech Ventures – an entity that convenes broker-centric innovation, ideation, investment and communication – to identify new ways to collaborate on technology solutions for agents and brokers. BrokerTech Ventures, a Holmes Murphy accelerator, continues to provide Travelers with early access to startups focused on developing technology solutions for the insurance industry.
Risk Management Information Services (e-CARMA®)

- For our larger Business Insurance customers with more sophisticated or complex operations, we offer e-CARMA, a comprehensive and customizable analysis tool that makes accessing loss information faster and easier so our customers can make timely and informed decisions to help keep their businesses running smoothly.
MyTravelers® for Business
- In 2025, we continued to experience increased adoption of our digital business assets. MyTravelers for Business provides online, on-demand self-service capabilities for our customers so they can manage their business insurance accounts on their own schedules.

- We added our aerial imagery viewer to our agent portal. This advanced capability integrates high-resolution images of a home into our agents’ quoting process.
