Vero
About Vero
Vero is one of Australia's largest insurers, providing a wide range of intermediated personal and business insurance. Now part of Suncorp, a top 20 Australian company, they were originally part of the UK-owned RSA Group. Vero is the dominant insurer in the home warranty insurance market in Australia.
Vero and ISM
A home warranty claim is made when a builder becomes insolvent or dies or if the work is sub-standard for a residential construction project. There are two key steps involving suppliers in the warranty claims process - allocating a job to an assessor who submits a detailed defect report, and allocating tender requests to builders who compete for the rectification building project. The entire business process is conducted within ISM. If a rectifying builder is successful with their tender response, then they use the system to provide regular progress reports, request approval for any variations and invoice for the work completed.
