Hisense’s Value-Based Innovation Becomes the Pivotal Driving Force to Achieve Brand Growth

Published

on

QINGDAO, China, Nov. 21, 2022 /CNW/ — Securing growth amid global upheavals has become a major undertaking among companies today. In recent years, Hisense, a globally-recognized appliance and electronics manufacturer, has grown into a leading force in the market, becoming the prioritized option for millions of customers. To uncover Hisense’s substantial growth, a partnered feature from the Financial Times on Nov. 21st runs through the brand’s endeavors in notching all-around achievements and more specifically, its innovation strategy which serves as a decisive factor in the overall brand growth.

 

Empowering Growth with Value-Based Innovation

In times of uncertainty, it’s tempting for companies to adopt a relatively conservative developmental scheme. For Hisense, however, it’s precisely its dynamic innovation strategy that enables continued brand growth.

Currently, Hisense has opened 23 R&D centers and 31 production bases around the world, consistently transforming the customer experience by launching the latest solutions. These visionary moves from Hisense enable it to expand its global reach in a challenging time. From January to October, the global shipments of Hisense TV reached 19.6 million with a year-on-year growth rate of 18%, positioning Hisense the 2nd in the global market, as reported by AVC Revo.

“Independent innovation, leadership and iterative transformation are among Hisense’s most important success factors,” said Catherine Fang, Executive Vice President of Hisense International. “For Hisense, innovation is both a proposition and an answer.”

Apart from the success in internationalization, the Financial Times partnered article also applauds Hisense’s efforts to incorporate innovation with its ESG commitments. For instance, Hisense has adopted photovoltaic power generation which will benefit its emission-reduction goals. Additionally, Hisense managed to reduce the thickness of its TV sets’ back covers, which can save 4,626 tons of plastic each year, an amount equivalent to 514 million plastic bags. In terms of energy saving and carbon reduction, Hisense Group reduced its energy consumption by 10.7% in 2021 alone.

“Over the past decade, the emphasis on ESG encourages companies to stop focusing solely on profitability and consider the environmental and social impact of their business practices,” said Fang. Hisense’s vigorous efforts in its ESG practices both facilitate the building of an organic innovation strategy and advance Hisense’s sustainability agenda.

Additionally, another backbone of Hisense value-based innovation is also unveiled in the article: its vision to shoulder social responsibilities and cater to the needs of diverse consumer groups. Hisense South Africa, for instance, has successfully boosted local job growth and employment rates. Hisense has also solidified communication with global customers by sponsoring top sporting events. In 2022, it became the Official Sponsor of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™.

Looking forward to the future, Hisense is on its way to becoming a world-class multinational corporation. Powered by value-based innovation, Hisense will adhere to its long-term agendas and strategic goals, continuing to thrive in technology, R&D, supply chain, brand value, and talent.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Novo AI joins forces with discovermarket, a leading embedded insurance platform, to revolutionize the future of digital insurance. This new partnership aims to enhance the efficiency and accessibility of embedded insurance offerings.

What is Embedded Insurance?

This is a type of product that integrates insurance products directly into the purchasing process of non-insurance items in real-time, enabling consumers to get protection seamlessly during the buying process. The insurance policies are suited to their specific needs, at a fraction of the cost of traditional offerings. With technological advancements, embedded insurance is making low-value items insurable in a cost-effective manner and democratizing the insurance landscape.

What Novo AI Brings to the Table?

This collaboration brings together two innovative companies poised to transform the insurance industry. Given the large volumes and low prices of embedded insurance products, it’s essential to streamline operations, automate processes, and maximize efficiency. Novo AI uses generative AI to make them x100 more efficient than before. Key areas of focus include automating claims processing, implementing systematic fraud detection at scale and enhancing customer support.

Novo AI and discovermarket are rolling out a new product to enhance the customer journey: AI-powered policy creation and management. This AI-agent allows discovermarket to offer a tailored, automated experience where customers can create personalized policies and manage them throughout their lifetime. The agent effectively helps customers understand their insurance coverage, the policy exceptions and assists them with claims submissions.

A Word from the Partners

discovermarket’s CEO, Patrick Bühler states: “Our platform offers a marketplace-as-a-service platform where brokers and insurers can design specific coverage directly, which is automatically configured to operate within our system. We are thrilled to be working with Novo AI to enhance this capability. The addition of AI-driven features will enable us to draft better insurance products autonomously, based on existing policy wording. We believe this is the future of hyper-customized insurance.

Novo AI CEO: “We’re very excited with the unique set of challenges that the digital insurance playground offers and to be partnering with a forward-looking partner like discovermarket on this. The sector operates under very different rules than traditional insurance, with a critical need for scalable, low-cost, differentiated solutions, particularly in policy management. This will enable first access to insurance for less privileged pockets of the population, and we’re in a unique position to make it happen.”
