Over the past year, Embroker, the digital insurance company radically simplifying the insurance buying experience for businesses, has made significant strides in this mission, with new leadership appointments and introducing new AI-powered features to its ONE platform. The company has also expanded its vertical reach, including new comprehensive, tailored coverage programs for real estate, consultants, and financial professionals. The company has also released a new program of policies for law firms on its ONE platform. Embroker has also partnered with Everspan, named 2024’s Fronting Carrier of the Year by Insurance Insider, to further digitize the insurance experience. These achievements not only highlight the momentum Embroker is making in its goal to deliver a seamless insurance buying experience, but also to grow the company’s leadership position in the insurtech industry, setting new standards in digital insurance.
Everspan and Embroker: Modernizing Legacy Insurance
Through this strategic partnership, Everspan, a specialty property and casualty insurer, now underwrites new coverage programs on Embroker’s ONE platform, which includes their newly released packages for accountants, bookkeepers, tax preparers, real estate agents and consultants. This enhances Embroker’s ability to provide tailored solutions for a broader range of businesses and allows Everspan to expand its distribution capabilities and improve the overall customer experience for policies on Everspan paper.
Amidst the traditionally slow pace of innovation in commercial insurance, Embroker’s partnership with Everspan is a prime example of strategic adaptation in the evolving marketplace. By creating a digitally-driven underwriting experience, Embroker cuts down on the repetitive processes many experience when purchasing coverage.
“Technological innovation in insurance is critical if the industry expects to keep up with expanding customer expectations,” said Ben Jennings, CEO of Embroker. “With Everspan, we’re accelerating the digitization of the industry, partnering with forward-thinking carriers like them to improve our tailored offerings. This not only enhances growth velocity but also reinforces our commitment to customer-centric solutions, safeguarding businesses and allowing them to remain focused on driving their core business.”
Investing in AI to Streamline Insurance for Brokers
Embroker launched an AI-powered document ingestion feature designed to simplify the insurance application process. This technology extracts and processes data from common insurance applications, reducing the manual input process for brokers. The technology uses PDF review capabilities and advanced reasoning technology to extract data from documents and pre-fill applications, reducing broker effort without sacrificing accuracy.
“Our ultimate goal has always been to simplify insurance for the customer, but with AI, we’re able to do more than that,” said Jennings. “This innovation reduces time-consuming tasks not just for customers, but for brokers too. Automation tools built into the application process allow brokers to focus on delivering tailored experiences and coverage to their clients.”
This new feature could save account managers up to 40 hours per month, showcasing Embroker’s dedication to using technology to boost both customer and business value.
