Send podcast: Helping underwriters do what they love

In a world where insurtech providers are seemingly ten-a-penny, how can insurance businesses find the right partner to drive meaningful, and valuable, business change?

Ben Huckel, Send co-founder and CEO, was recently interviewed for episode 187 of the InsTech London podcast and shared his thoughts on how the perfect partner has to lead with a service rather than a product, and how the two need to work closely together to tailor that solution to the clients’ needs.

It’s a method that Send has perfected over the past 5 years, and Ben explains how this ethos has worked in practice as we’ve quickly grown into a trusted partner for some of the biggest (re)insurance names.

In this episode, he also discusses:

  • The lessons learned from implementing major systems for insurers in the past
  • How the industry focus has shifted from post bind systems to pre-bind innovation
  • How our cloud-based commercial insurance platform has evolved to prioritise integration, adoption and speed and how this helps underwriters do what they love
  • The importance of flexibility in software and why ‘composable technology’ is the answer for agile insurers

Ben also touches on the benefits of an Underwriting Workbench and explains how our own market-leading platform for (re)insurers and MGAs is helping underwriters bring complex data out of silos, automate admin-heavy workloads and accelerate decision making.
