Ben Huckel: Co-founder & CEO, Send Technology: Composable technology - helping underwriters do what they love (187)

Send Technology is a software company founded in 2017 that has developed a connected workbench that enables insurers, brokers and MGAs to automate, streamline and optimise its operations.

It has recently entered its scale-up phase and secured major clients such as Renaissance Reinsurance and Bowhead Specialty.

Send Technology’s Co-founder and CEO, Ben Huckel, joined Matthew to talk about the importance of companies using the right technology, the benefits of leading with a service rather than a product and the advantages of providing a software service that is tailored to clients’ needs.

Talking points include: 

• What Ben has learned from implementing major systems for insurers in the past
• How the cloud-based commercial insurance platform, Send Connect, has evolved to prioritise integration, adoption and speed and what this means for underwriters
• The importance of flexibility in software and how it provides insurers with resilience against dynamic markets
• The role of low code and no code tools
• How Send Technology plans to incorporate additional functionality such as integrated pricing doctrines and delegated authority to its Underwriting Workbench to support pre and post buying businesses
