In the rapidly evolving insurance landscape, InsurTree is setting a new standard with its innovative, cost-effective solutions designed to empower insurers to reach underserved markets. With our platform and/or as a digitally licensed managing general agent (MGA), InsurTree enables traditional risk carriers to extend their reach into smaller business niches, meeting the specific needs of distributors and clients through both traditional and cutting-edge distribution models.

SWINZ: The first use case of InsurTree’s revolutionary platform

SWINZ, celebrated as the ‘Spotify of Insurance’, is the first product brought to market using the InsurTree platform. This groundbreaking use case demonstrates the platform's capability to integrate diverse insurance offerings into a seamless, user-friendly experience, tailored to the needs of a new generation of consumers. However, InsurTree’s vision goes far beyond SWINZ; the platform is designed to support a wide array of insurance products and models, offering insurers unprecedented flexibility and scalability.

Three pillars of the InsurTree business model: unlocking value for insurers

InsurTree’s success, as demonstrated by SWINZ, is built on three core components that provide insurers with a comprehensive, innovative solution for market entry, product development and customer engagement.

1 - Insurance design studio

• Tailored product development: InsurTree starts by deeply understanding market niche needs and transforming these insights into customized insurance solutions. This includes designing products, defining terms & conditions, pricing strategies and determining risk placements.

• User experience excellence: We prioritize UX and UI design and development, ensuring that every insurance solution is intuitive and user-friendly. This approach not only meets customer expectations but also enhances their overall experience, leading to higher satisfaction and retention rates.

2 - MGA as a Service (MGAaaS)

• End-to-end product management: InsurTree’s MGAaaS model handles every aspect of the insurance product lifecycle. From generating products to issuing quotes, binding policies, and managing mid-term adjustments, billing and dunning, InsurTree ensures a seamless process for insurers.

• Ecosystem integration: Our platform is designed for effortless integration with existing broker management systems, enabling insurers to operate efficiently without disrupting their current operations. This model drastically limits the impact of new product introductions, reducing risk while enhancing agility.

3 - Platform as a Service (PaaS)

• Smart contract-driven flexibility: The InsurTree platform leverages advanced smart contract technology to orchestrate and manage the entire insurance ecosystem. This flexibility allows for the administration of multiple lines of business within a single policy, significantly reducing the time to market.

• Scalable, multi-tenant solutions: InsurTree’s platform supports white-label products, multi-tenancy and multi-language capabilities, making it highly scalable to meet the diverse needs of insurers across different markets. Carrier integration is streamlined through API or traditional bordereaux, ensuring compatibility with existing systems and processes.

What InsurTree offers insurers: the benefits of a proven platform

InsurTree’s platform, validated by the success of SWINZ, provides insurers with a robust foundation for innovation. Here’s how insurers can benefit:

• Expand into new revenue streams: While SWINZ showcases the platform’s ability to reach the modern consumer, InsurTree offers insurers the opportunity to tap into the €350 billion embedded insurance market. This includes targeting gig economy platforms, shared mobility providers and real estate agents with tailored niche products, all supported by our adaptable platform.

• Reduce costs and increase agility: The InsurTree platform automates complex insurance processes, significantly reducing operational costs. This makes it easier for insurers to enter new markets quickly and efficiently, leveraging the same technology that powered the SWINZ rollout.

• Customizable solutions at scale: Building on the flexibility demonstrated with SWINZ, InsurTree allows insurers to define and operate innovative multi-line, multi-lingual insurance solutions. These solutions are customizable and scalable to meet the demands of B2B clients globally, providing insurers with the tools they need to respond to market demands.

• Integrated and multi-channel by design: Just as SWINZ leveraged multiple distribution channels to reach consumers, InsurTree ensures seamless integration with broker management systems and other distribution channels. This multi-channel approach enhances distribution efficiency and ensures a consistent experience across the board.

The InsurTree advantage: the innovation platform for insurers

InsurTree’s platform, as demonstrated by the SWINZ use case, is built to address the pain points of insurers, brokers and customers alike. By offering an end-to-end solution for product design, administration and distribution, InsurTree provides insurers with a proven path to innovation and market expansion. The platform’s flexibility and efficiency enable insurers to stay competitive while minimizing risks and operational costs.
