    Faster and smarter. The power of a modern paperless workflow.

    Stop pushing paper, moving attachments around, and sending submissions through complex manual business processes. Your underwriters should be risk experts, not data entry clerks. With Joshu, you can generate quotes automatically in seconds, and control which steps need underwriter review. With our simple online interface you’ll save costs and improve hit ratios.

    Continuously experiment, optimize and grow your business.

    Joshu shows you how brokers and insureds answer application questions. You can use these insights to eliminate confusion, reduce friction, and get submissions that result in a better rating. When it’s this easy to change, you can experiment, adapt, and improve your product quickly and easily. It’s one of the most exciting benefits of an online workflow.

    Reduce the time and cost of digital transformation.

    Custom software projects start with quotes in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and promise fast turnaround. But they can end with millions of dollars and years stuck in development. Our easy configuration allows us to charge a low setup fee with a volume-based subscription model. Our incentives are aligned with yours and your success is ours.

Simple, easy-to-use tools get you online one step at a time.
