Start-up broker Zoomcover partners with Ignite to launch on-demand motor insurance offering

Ignite Insurance Systems (Ignite), a market-leading policy administration software provider, has teamed up with Zoomcover.com (Zoomcover), a brand new short-term car insurance broker, to provide its front- and back-office software solution as it launches this month.

Ignite has developed variable policy-term quote and buy facilities, back-office policy management and MID submission integration for the start-up, and the ‘Ignite Broker’ system will be used to service the large number of new policyholders that Zoomcover CEO John Hatfield plans to attract.  

Zoomcover will use Ignite’s cloud-based platform to launch its first seven on-demand motor products underwritten by ERS. Leveraging a single code-base, Ignite gives Zoomcover the benefits of a feature-rich system provided to over 30 UK brokers.

Toby MacLachlan, Managing Director of Ignite said:

“John approached us earlier this year with great experience in the sector and a smart business plan that would play to Ignite’s system strengths. John has worked closely with our team from start to finish, making this project both rapid and a pleasure.  Speed to market is critical for our customers and so delivering this new system within 8 weeks is particularly gratifying.” 

John Hatfield, CEO of Zoomcover.com added:

“Our business strategy relies of being quick to market and responsive to customer demands. We’re starting small but we have big ambitions so a platform that will scale up with us is critical.  We have been particularly impressed by Ignite’s attention to detail, responsiveness, and willingness to welcome changes as they appear.”
