Elevating Brokers through technology

Born out of the independent insurance brokerage sector, we are champions of the distribution channel. We are true believers that brokers and agents are the future of insurance. 


PLUG AND PLAY BROKER ECOSYSTEM

We provide data-driven software that looks at the entire insurance ecosystem, from lead generation and lead management, to customer service. We know it’s more important than ever to provide fast, frictionless service to your customers while also giving your brokers the tools they need to do their work efficiently and effectively.  


OUR ORIGIN STORY 

We’re not your average insurtech provider, because we were once brokers working with customers, using tools that simply did not match consumer and employee needs. We had two choices, work with the antiquated software available to us, or super-charge our growth by creating tools that work for us, not against us. We chartered a new course to build the digital solutions to scale, grow, and become more profitable.
