Glasgow-based IT consultancy Redspire has worked in
collaboration with Microsoft and specialist insurer Beazley to
create
Beazley Booking, an online booking system to make it easier and
quicker for brokers to arrange virtual appointments and share
relevant documentation securely with underwriters.
Beazley Booking uses Microsoft's low code platform Power Platform to
create a simple web application that brokers can access using a
secure log-in.
This enables brokers to view underwriter availability, book a
meeting time, upload an agenda and documents in advance and view
all of their scheduled meetings with Beazley underwriters. It aims
to ensure brokers retain consistent access to their underwriting
contacts during social distancing and beyond, as the insurance
industry adopts more flexible working practices in the long term.
It also provides underwriters with access to a detailed log of
broker enquiries and appointments on a fully secure system.
Billy Lyle, Redspire's chief executive said, "Beazley Booking is
an exciting example of how Power Platform can be deployed quickly
to respond to business challenges. While initially built to
overcome short-term closures of Lloyd's trading floor during
lockdown and keep cogs turning in insurance, the solution offers
long-term efficiencies as the market adapts to the new operating
environment."
