LOLA was designed to play the role of an always-on customer service representative, magnificently equipped with artificial intelligence and multiple scenario programming to enable her to assist the customers in all ramifications.
With LOLA, Leadway Assurance hopes to eliminate the numerous pain points for its consumers, such as the cumbersome queues at experience centres and clunky paperwork, which they may be otherwise subjected to during in-person visits.

Speaking on the significance of this groundbreaking feat as well as its relevance to the enhancement of Leadway’s plethora of services, the Managing Director of Leadway Assurance, Mr. Tunde Hassan Odukale, expressed immense satisfaction at the insurance major’s outstanding commitment to meeting its ever-evolving customer demands, especially by leveraging technology.

As such, over the years, we have committed immense human and natural resources to ensure that we not only satisfy these expectations but also consistently unveil innovative methods leveraging the rapid evolution of digital technology.
“More importantly, as a future-centric organisation, we recognised the two-pronged role of technology and digitisation in our business operations.”
While, on the one hand, technology has impacted our modern-day customers by empowering them to demand a swift, real-time audience to their situations, we have also identified that it is the key to unlocking their true satisfaction by leveraging the real-time, immersive, and dynamics capabilities of digital technology”
