Access Underwriting has secured a deal with Whitespace Software, a specialist online provider.

Access, a motorbike insurance provider, deals with a network of motorcycle brokers that can cater for virtually all types of bike insurance. Whitespace Software provides software for scheme brokers with delegated authority.

Access has opted for the Schematic web module which gives users quick quotes, referring any non-standard responses to underwriters back at head office.

Simon Hickman, marketing and operations director of Access Underwriting, said: "Whitespace Software were an obvious choice for a specialist broker, such as Access. We needed to get up and running in six weeks to catch the beginning of the Superbike season and Whitespace have delivered on time and on price."

Jonathan Ling, commercial director of Whitespace Software, said: "Access Underwriting had a very tight timeframe from placing their order to going live. We found that our long experience of working with specialist brokers enabled us to be realistic about delivery times. We are pleased with the results."
