Helping insurance marketplaces create online systems to scale their business and efficiently match prospects with custom curated plans.

Working with Surex, a leading online insurance marketplace, the RPC team designed and built a series of web apps designed to connect affiliate insurers with clients. These systems were built on a proprietary CMS using PHP Symphony and provide a friendly, client-facing interface for marketplace shoppers to compare and purchase insurance plans based on personalized recommendations.

This application fed into a centralized Communication Center which allowed affiliate services to be white-labeled and user data to be securely / compliantly retained and leveraged across the entire Surex ecosystem.

Surex, one of Canada’s leading insurance marketplace providers, was looking to expand their digital reach in several directions. They were simultaneously building an affiliate program for independent brokers, establishing a white label service for affiliate partners and building out a new digital brand ecosystem. In this process, they discovered that their current tech stack was not allowing them to scale the way their business demanded.

They needed a competent and comprehensive technical partner.

Through our engagement, we were able to successfully design, build and deploy multiple components of Surex’s digital ecosystem and promote them through Search Engine Optimization built directly into the apps themselves. Our Digital Marketing team was able to define Surex’s overall business goals and integrate with the Product team to create technical solutions that maximized Surex’s brand exposure and minimized the impact on their bottom line.
