Scoring customer leads at nib
Business challenge
- The nib website provides an online quote service that enables potential members to browse insurance products
- nib wanted to determine the likelihood that a person using the quote service would purchase an insurance product, and provide this information to the sales team for follow-up
- nib’s data science team were seeking support to deploy the model, integrate with downstream systems, and ensure performance was optimised for production
Success critera
- Optimise the speed and accuracy of the existing model to ensure it was ready for production use
- Engineer an end-to-end pipeline to deploy the model to production and enable future model enhancements to be released quickly and without risk
- Integrate the output of the model with Tealium (nib’s member data hub) to enable the sales team to focus on a refined subset of potential members who are most likely to buy
- Empower the nib data science team to maintain and administer the service after hand-over
Solution
- Eliiza’s data scientists were able to optimise the model for performance in production without compromising accuracy
- Amazon SageMaker was selected for this project as it enabled integration with all other AWS services and external platforms (Tealium, Snowflake and Databricks)
- Eliiza’s machine-learning engineers containerised and deployed the model in nib’s AWS environment through the use of SageMaker. This provided nib with an automated, end-to-end pipeline making future model enhancements easy and low-risk to deploy
