By the simple, practical application of technology and use of data we believe we can genuinely level the playing field for regional brokers in terms of access to and attention from leading insurers. We believe we can drive real efficiencies for brokers and insurers alike by better connecting them at the right times for the right clients.

“The pace with which we have signed up leading insurers is testament to the model we have created and the desire of these insurers to better serve regional brokers. We have over 200 active insurer users in the platform, working with over 120 broker offices, and this is increasing every week.”

The Broker Insights solution is available to brokers for no cost, giving regional brokers increased visibility and attention with insurers like Ageas, AXA, Hiscox, Ecclesiastical, QBE and Zurich as well as support in data analytics and information management as part of the service.
