comparison chart - traditional pricing process vs Guidewire PricingCenter

 

Guidewire PricingCenter is a single environment that unifies the entire pricing and rating lifecycle, from initial data preparation and modeling through to final API deployment. It provides the governance, transparency, and automation you need to turn actuarial science into a powerful, scalable rating asset, ready for any core system.

One Environment: Your Complete Control Across the Pricing Lifecycle

The traditional pricing process is slowed by disconnected tools and endless spreadsheets that create errors and version-control nightmares. PricingCenter provides a single, collaborative environment that serves as the single source of truth for the entire pricing lifecycle. This eliminates rework and ensures pricing and rating are always in sync, giving your teams the confidence to move faster.

Powering Next-Generation Pricing with Production-Ready Artificial Intelligence

Turn insurance pricing into your competitive advantage with sophisticated modeling capabilities. PricingCenter transforms your raw data into complex statistical models that capture the full picture of your risk portfolio. Use Explainable AI (XAI) to infer transparent insights from these models to support governance as well as regulatory compliance, and to build confidence in your pricing decisions. Apply those insights to set pricing strategies with precision, then deploy them to market within minutes via API. 

How Our AI Works

PricingCenter delivers advanced statistical modeling with the transparency P&C insurance demands. Our AI techniques provide clear insights into the logic behind complex model outputs, supporting your regulatory compliance, audit requirements, and stakeholder communication. Sophisticated predictive power meets full explainability in every pricing decision.

  • Advanced machine learning models including Gradient Boosting Machines (GBM) capture complex, non-linear relationships traditional GLMs miss and detect risk patterns invisible to standard statistical models. Advanced native XAI techniques provide full transparency into these sophisticated models.

  • AI-assisted GLM/GAM modeling with intelligent hints, automated feature detection, and transformation suggestions that dramatically accelerate actuarial workflows while the process keeps experts in full control.

  • Full model transparency through Feature Importance, Partial Dependency Plots, and BreakDown analysis that explain every pricing decision to regulators, customers, and your team without any black boxes.

How AI is Applied

Key Business Outcome

Automated GLM/GAM Modeling


Machine learning automates tedious, iterative tasks in building traditional actuarial models.
 

Boosts Team Efficiency:

Frees up actuaries for high-value analysis and strategic decision making.

Explainable GBMs

Advanced ML algorithms capture complex, non-linear relationships in data. Built-in XAI tools explain model outputs.

Improves Pricing Accuracy: 

Creates more predictive models, leading to better risk selection and improved loss ratios.

Real-time Portfolio Monitoring

Explainable AI (XAI) data visualizations unwrap layers of black-box Machine Learning models providing regulatory assurance.

Enables Proactive Management: 

Allows teams to spot trends faster and react to market events immediately.

The Outcome

Traditional GLMs force actuaries to choose between simplicity and accuracy. Advanced ML models deliver superior predictions but create regulatory black boxes. PricingCenter solves this fundamental trade-off: You get the predictive power of Gradient Boosting Machines with the transparency regulators demand.

In head-to-head testing, our AI can identify non-linear risk patterns that traditional models typically struggle to capture.

Is Your Process Holding You Back?

Insurance pricing is at an inflection point. Most insurers still rely on legacy systems, forward-thinking competitors are deploying AI-powered pricing 10x faster that allows them to capture market opportunities and improve loss ratios.

The new measure of success is no longer just the accuracy of an analysis, but the speed at which that analysis becomes a live, profitable rate in the market. Every day an insight sits in a spreadsheet is a day you are giving away a competitive advantage.

For decades, the multi-month relay race from actuarial to IT was an accepted cost of doing business. With PricingCenter, moving a powerful new model from development to deployment eliminates the structural delay between insight and impact and turns a months-long project into clicks.
