Case study, from 2014

Motor cover, bought online.

Jamaica's largest general insurer wanted customers to buy motor cover without visiting a branch. From 2014 we built Advantage General's new website and its online quote and buy: a rating engine for three motor products, live government checks, card payments and policy documents to download.
