Get in the Ring and Centraal Beheer Achmea are looking for solutions in and around the home that support customers and also people who are not a customer of Centraal Beheer to live easier and more comfortable lives. The goal is to provide millennials and dynamic families with busy lives convenience.

In doing so Centraal Beheer allows its customers to enjoy their homes and spend more time with their loved ones.

 

​Centraal Beheer is one of the brands of Achmea. Achmea is a large insurance company that provides a wide range of financial services and products. Their brands serve about 10 million people with Health, Life and Non-life insurances. Centraal Beheer works directly with consumers and businesses, providing them mostly damage insurances. However, CentraaL Beheer has the ambition to become the most customer centric service provider. For that they have and are developing new services or non-insurance products. One example is de Klushulp, that has been developed together with startup Zoofy in 5 months and is launched in September 2018.

 

Millenials are currently the biggest group on the labour market, and compared to their older generations, have often dynamic families with both spouses working, often flexible. This generation cares about customer service and easy to use tools. In unexpected circumstances, they expect their service provider to act quickly and swiftly, so that time can be spend on family and social activities. Rather than solving issues in and around their homes themselves, they prefer a trusted organization, taking care of the hassle and providing them with the right information at the right time.
