29 June 2026. PIB Group Iberia, an independent global insurance broker, is making decisive progress in its digital transformation strategy with the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions in key operational processes.
The goal: to achieve operational efficiency so that your teams can dedicate more time to customer advice and support in an increasingly demanding market.
According to Patricio Ilyef Voss, CIO&COO of PIB Group Iberia: «We've accelerated the implementation of various artificial intelligence and automation initiatives that make it easier for teams to focus on the value proposition that sets us apart: customer relationships.”.
María, the assistant who keeps the office open 24/7
The most established initiative is the roll-out of «María», a virtual voice assistant that handles incoming calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including public holidays. Thanks to this solution, PIB Group Iberia has managed to ensure that 100% of calls are answered when all agents are busy, and has extended telephone support beyond office hours and at weekends.
Complementarily, the group is working on the rapid implementation of virtual assistants on alternative channels such as WhatsApp, with the aim of offering a multichannel and accessible customer experience at all times.
+400%: faster subscriber growth and portfolio defence
PIB Group Iberia has also applied AI to its automatic underwriting processes, enabling the automatic quoting of general insurance policies, for both new business and renewals.
The impact on processing times is significant: in both new business and portfolio management, the average processing time has been reduced by more than 400%. This frees up time that teams can devote to providing a higher-quality service to their customers.
Document processing with success rates of around 100%
In the field of intelligent document processing (IDP), PIB Group Iberia uses AI and machine learning to extract relevant information from digital documents related to the identification and processing of receipts and claims handling, achieving highly successful results.
Furthermore, the group is also working on increasing process automation in claims management, with the aim of facilitating administrative processes and thus allowing claims handlers to concentrate on case analysis and customer service.
According to Gabriel Cereto, CEO of PIB Group in Spain, “Technology is a lever for growth, which ensures that at PIB Group Iberia we will always be at the service of people. We want to be more efficient to be better advisors.
This line of work is part of a wider commitment to free up teams from repetitive tasks, allowing them to dedicate more time to client advisory and relationships.
Martín Navaz, President and CEO of PIB Group Iberia emphasises that “lThe close coordination between the Spanish and Portuguese teams has made it possible to compare the most innovative models from each market and implement them quickly and efficiently in the other, achieving exceptionally short time-to-markets.”.
