Casey automates the core submission infrastructure of commercial insurance

TL;DR: Commercial insurance is a $500B market - and the infrastructure behind it is still manual. Commercial brokers dealing with complex risks spend half their day not advising clients, but retyping the same data across PDFs, portals, and carrier forms. That manual submission workflow is the single largest bottleneck in insurance distribution, and nobody has successfully automated it for complex risks.

That’s where Casey comes in.

What Casey does

  • Ingests client + risk data directly from broker systems
  • Auto-fills carrier applications & required supplemental forms in one click
  • Handles carrier follow-up questions, automatically matching these to existing data
  • If new info is required, generates the request and sends it to the client
  • Once complete, sends the full submission package to any carrier

The user uploads the documents needed for submission, and our system creates a custom risk profile based on the required data:

The custom risk data is generated, the user uploads SOVs which they received from the client, and the custom risk data is populated:

The required forms for the submission are completed with the required risk data:

Why it matters

The first wave of insurtech largely focussed on automating smaller, simpler risks. Casey is built for the complex, high-premium business that actually drives revenue. This automation infrastructure enables clients to receive policies in a matter of days, compared to what now takes >1 month.
