Explain briefly about your entry in the Excellence in Technology - Distribution category.

Matthew Callaghan, Broker Insights

Broker Insights supports broker placement management and insurer distribution management, helping to connect both parties via data.

We believe that our technology is truly excellent. Why? Because our insurer partners and our broker community tell us so. The platform is now a mainstream solution that delivers real world results.

Prior to Broker Insights, there had been limited investment in technology to help information workflows between regional brokers and insurers.

Insurers lacked visibility of brokers’ customers. Brokers lacked clarity of insurers’ risk appetites. This often resulted in a poor outcome for the customer.

What do you think makes your entry stand out or different from your competition?

As industry leaders, we cannot walk in the footsteps of others and are continually breaking new ground in terms of what is possible.

What makes our entry stand out is the results. We know that our insurer partners and broker community are utilising the platform successfully to help achieve their goals.

What would winning this award mean to you and your firm?

It would be a great acknowledgment of the tireless work of the tech team and Broker Insights family - every member works incredibly hard. It would also be great to share this win with our insurer partners and broker community because they play a fundamental role in the success of the platform.
