Underwriting agency Blue Zebra Insurance (BZI) is among Insurance Business's 5-star technology providers in Australia this year for its technology platform Blue Leopard.
In an interview with Insurance Business Australia (IB), BZI chief operating officer (COO) Matt Hodson shared what made the technology stand out against other technological innovations in the industry.
BZI was established in 2018 on a foundation of technology and insurance – with digital innovation at the core of its business model. Its technology platform, Blue Leopard, was built based on broker insights and with insurtech at its heart.
Hodson told IB that Blue Leopard is an evolution of BZI's core business technology, accessed by over 1,200 brokers every day via the online portal called Zebra Lounge, available on any internet-enabled tool.
“This sets us apart from other technology providers as we have lived and learnt from our own experiences. That deep understanding of what is required to build a successful digital-first insurance offering is seen throughout the Blue Leopard platform, and we stand behind our offering as it is what supports our own rapidly scaling business which delivers operational efficiencies to BZI and its customers,” Hodson said.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, the number of users on the platform has steadily grown as brokers gravitated towards easy-to-use digital platforms.
