CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Our staff works incredibly hard to deliver the services using old technology. So bringing in new technology will make a step change because it will remove some of the administration and free staff up.So we are investing in data services, which will remove a lot of leg work that brokers have to work through. Importantly, it will put the case on a firm footing, so we can give a clear, upfront decision with certainty.We have partnered with Digilytics as a software firm, so where the documentation has to be sent through, we treat that as data. We extract that data, it is then categorised and presented to the underwriter in a way by which they get a really good understanding of the case.
