Azur Technology continues implementation of products for Starfish Specialty Insurance
Azur Technology has completed its latest project for Starfish Specialty Insurance, supporting the MGA with the launch of its new product, Active Assailant.
The product offers essential financial and legal safeguards in the aftermath of violent incidents, specifically designed for public spaces and locations across the U.S. These include retail stores, educational institutions, churches, and recreational facilities. It marks the MGA’s third product launch on Azur Technology’ s innovative platform.
Having previously implemented the MGA’s insurance policy admin system, Azur Technology used this foundation to build Active Assailant at unprecedented speed. With a system and CRM already in place, Starfish Specialty Insurance can save time and money on new implementations as well as leverage its existing network of brokers to win more business.
Active Assailant includes a broker portal, underwriter workbench, digital rater, policy document generator and referral rules. The product utilizes the admin system already established by Azur Technology to help Starfish Specialty Insurance standardize its digital processes. In addition, innovative new features have been tailored to the Active Assailant cover including a multi-location add-on for clients such as retail outlets and restaurant chains that operate across different sites.
Johnny Adams, Product Manager at Azur Technology, said: “This is our third project for Starfish Specialty Insurance, which has enabled us to standardize a lot of processes and repetitive tasks. It then becomes easier and faster for the customer to operate a business and launch new products. Active Assailant is still a bespoke solution, however. We created the multi-location tool and have incorporated new question sets applicable to the cover. Most importantly the customer is now delivering a seamless experience to brokers. And we know that the more quotes an MGA can issue, the more business it can win”.
Karl Seebacher from Starfish Specialty Insurance added: “Starfish Specialty Insurance is redefining the Active Assailant insurance market with a streamlined, broker-first approach — delivering quotes through our broker platform in just minutes with competitive pricing. Our mission is to make comprehensive coverage more accessible and efficient than ever before.”
Active Assailant is now live. Phase two of the build will include policy documents and automated underwriting, helping Starfish Specialty Insurance to create further cost and time savings as well as improving user experience.
