Major features & technology used:
The goal of our technology is to ensure that we’re providing a stress-free experience for consumers, while creating high quality leads for our partners. We’re striving to be industry leaders in this field and continue to invest heavily in our technology. Our quoters take consumers down a funnel that results in a very accurate price quote for the product they’re looking for. For instance, our home insurance quoter was designed to eliminate notorious pain points in the quoting process. To get an accurate home insurance quote, consumers are typically required to look up detailed information about their home that they might not have immediate access to: such as the replacement cost or square footage of their home. If these are not provided accurately, which is all too common, then their quote can be wildly inaccurate.
Our form ensures that when a consumer begins entering her address, a drop down menu provides choices with accurate addresses and postal codes. The quoter also incorporates a property insurance valuation tool that automatically fills in pertinent information about a home — including details like replacement cost or square footage.
We are active in all provinces in the insurance space and work with a variety of industry partners — from the big direct to consumer companies to small, regional brokers. We’re always looking for new partners to work with.
