We are an Insurance SaaS. We started in 2015 with the “Problem to Solve” of buying insurance as an embedded experience. Traditionally customers will buy an item in-store or online, and then try to find the appropriate insurance product and make a decision of which is the right one to get. We took that cumbersome and inefficient process and offered the solution that improves the process for both customers and businesses selling insurance - getting the right coverage at the right time, with minimum friction, completing the buying process in minutes, and not hours or days. We also enable you to engage with your customer across multiple touchpoints, which advances accessibility, making the process simpler through the automation aspect. This is a huge opportunity for insurers to communicate better with customers, and deliver a clear and simple product - as well as to automate many internal outdated manual administration processes. We offer a cloud-based, modular, scalable, insurance SaaS that enables anyone who offers insurance to distribute through any channel, reduce administration costs, and make better business decisions with real-time reporting and business insights. We are backed by some of the top global fintech investors. We are a remote and global team. Our development is done in-house, and the team makes up 70% of our full complement. In 2023 Click2Sure was acquired for an undisclosed amount. We would like to thank our customers, employees and investors for the commitment and trust in our journey to become a leading insurance SAAS solution provider.
