    INSTANDA and DataCrest Partner to Accelerate Quoting Efficiency for Insurers

    London, United Kingdom – INSTANDA, a global leader in AI-enabled no-code insurance Policy Administration System (PAS) solutions is proud to announce a partnership with DataCrest, a leading provider of workflow and efficiency solutions for the insurance industry. The partnership will allow INSTANDA users to access DataCrest’s AppEase solution, with benefits including:

    • Improvements in quote turnaround time from hours to minutes
    • Quote volume increases by as much as 25%
    • Reduction in outsourcing needs by as much as 76%

    “By integrating with DataCrest to automate submissions intake, INSTANDA is setting a new benchmark for intelligent quoting efficiency,” said Derek Hill, co-founder and Global CRO at INSTANDA. “This innovative integration radically reduces time spent on quote generation, enabling carriers and MGAs to scale output with transformative efficiency, providing a superior customer experience. INSTANDA’s new partnership with DataCrest demonstrates our commitment to provide our customers with exceptional agility and proven solutions they need to help us redefine the future of insurance.”

    In 2015, co-founders Tim Hardcastle (CEO) and Derek Hill (Group CRO) created INSTANDA, the world’s first no-code platform for insurance product innovation and complex underwriting. INSTANDA is passionate about transforming how insurance is experienced by everyone, everywhere. The company’s goal is to make insurance more accessible, consumable, and frictionless for all. INSTANDA’s fully configured digital platform is recognized by leading insurance carriers and MGAs around the world as a proven, versatile technology foundation driving business goals.

    “The partnership with INSTANDA improves KPIs for our mutual carrier and MGA clients. That is most important. It enables them to streamline their applications and submission intake to quote quicker and reduce administrative waste, while writing more accounts that are better risks,” said DataCrest’s CEO Tom Young. “With INSTANDA's innovative platform and DataCrest's industry expertise, clients are poised to exceed their goals and improve their agents and insured's experience."
