Best Insurance Software – Review of Optalitix

How does an insurance software work?

If you are looking to power an insurance company, provider or broker, you will need a full suite of software to manage all the processes including:

  • Customer journey
  • Underwriting
  • Leads management
  • Partnerships with other insurers and brokers
  • Documentations
  • Finances
  • Claims
  • Reporting

For some insurance companies, they build and keep their software in-house. However, in many cases, insurance brokers and vendors using different software and solutions which are white-labelled and easily integrated into their company’s processes.

This can often be more affordable and offer a fully scaled solution, rather than the potential delays of starting up and the costs of having developers in-house. With this in mind, we spoke to insurance software company, Optalitix, to better understand their proposition which has been adopted by the likes of Vitality and GoCompare.

Do I Need Insurance Software for My Business?

There is a business case for using an insurance software over building a platform on your own. For some startups or new insurance businesses, the ability to use a software allows you to integrate your brand and its underwriting scorecard with a software quickly and you can start operating relatively soon. So where timescales are crucial, a software could get you up and running fast.

Whilst the cost of your insurance software will depend on your specification, you have peace of mind knowing what the fixed cost is, meanwhile building something bespoke could overrun and lead to additional costs. You also have the risk that in-house developers can be costly and with salaries at £50,000+ per year and day rates of £500 per day, this can quickly add up.

Optalitix, like other similar insurance softwares, they give you the opportunity to make rapid changes to your underwriting or customer journey – and this is on par with having a developer in-house.

 

How Much Does Insurance Software Cost?

The cost of insurance software will depend on your specification and requirements. There is often an initial set-up and integration fee to get you started and then an ongoing monthly fee which will depend on things like volumes of enquiries or any add-ons.
