Motor endorsements, resolved without the manual work

Measured on one live motor endorsement desk during 2026. These are indicative figures, not a guarantee of results on another book. A pilot replaces each one with a number measured on your own cases.

From 15 December 2026, motor policies move to a four-part format

Policyholders who already hold third-party cover can add occupant or pillion-rider liability cover during the policy term, with the same insurer. Each of those requests is a change to a policy already in force.

How it works

Every case runs the same eight stages

Each insurer wants different documents and different checks for each kind of change. Halley Desk holds that rulebook as configuration and applies it to every case.

  1. 1

    Intake

    The request arrives from your ticketing system or a shared mailbox.

  2. 2

    Policy fetch

    The policy is read from policy admin for that request only.

  3. 3

    Document sufficiency

    Documents are compared with what the insurer requires. Anything missing is requested.

  4. 4

    Quality checks

    Documents are read, including phone photos and scans, and the insurer's checks are run.

  5. 5

    Reconciliation

    The requested change is compared with what the documents say.

  6. 6

    Inspection

    Changes that affect the premium are routed for inspection and payment where required.

  7. 7

    Execution

    The request is submitted to the insurer and followed up until the endorsement copy arrives.

  8. 8

    Resolution

    The status and outcome are written back to your ticket.

Your team sees the exception and the reason

When a check cannot be decided, the case stops and a person takes over. They see the values in question and the rule that fired, so the decision takes seconds. Nothing is rejected automatically.

Controls

Designed for a risk committee's first questions

  • It never decides money

    Every premium, refund and payout comes from your systems. The model reads and words. It does not compute or choose a number.

  • Rules run before models

    Plain rules settle everything they can. A model is called only when the rules cannot decide, and code checks its output.

  • People keep the exceptions

    Anything uncertain goes to a person with the rule that fired and why. Nothing is rejected silently.

  • Every move is on the record

    The system and your people change a case through one path. Each change goes to an append-only log with its reason.

  • Personal data is masked

    Aadhaar and PAN numbers are masked to the last four digits before anything reaches a model.

  • You can switch it back

    Any case type returns to manual handling with one setting. Your operations team owns the thresholds.

We have no third-party security certification yet. We work inside your security policies, give your team full access for review, and go live only after your audit and compliance teams sign off. Hosting can be in your cloud account, in ours, or in a private environment in the region you require. Client data is not used to train any model.

Live for policy books

Halley Recon

Matches an insurer's statement against your policy book in eight gated steps. A cycle that took specialists a day runs in under ten minutes, and every gap becomes a file with an owner.

Live for motor

Halley Assist

A chat and voice assistant for agents. It answers payout questions and takes a motor policy from quote to issued document in one conversation, in English or Hinglish.

Start with a desk assessment

Thirty minutes, at no cost. We ask how many endorsements you handle a month, how many people work them, and where cases get stuck. You leave with a view of which case types could run without a person.
