Our Technology

Fundamental Tech

RiskWrite was originally built on a highly scalable Enterprise platform and has been upgraded over time to include new elements such as responsive design, a leading JavaScript framework and a variety of technologies focussed on continuous build, automated regression testing and deployment.

MGA Self-Build Capability

2010

Since 2010 Sabrefish has architected the MGA supply chain into the core of the RiskWrite platform, enabling our customers to launch new products and lines of business across the globe without recourse to Sabrefish.  The appropriate and flexible configuration of all parties involved in a transaction results in accurate accounting and reporting.

RiskWrite Analytics

2015

As well as generating regular reports such as Lloyds 5.x standard bordereaux, RiskWrite Analytics gives users a picture of their business based on RiskWrite data merged with external information such as budgets.  This powerful data warehouse allows users to graphically visualise business performance and analyse data using a business intelligence toolset with an intuitive drag and drop interface. With pre-built performance dashboards and ad-hoc capability, our customers can analyse data across the insurance lifecycle from pipeline data through transaction to claims and accounts.

New User Interface
