Five week implementation optimizes underwriting operations and capabilities to accelerate go-to-market.
MENLO PARK, CA - April 1, 2025 – Joshu, the platform to build, distribute, and grow digital insurance products, is pleased to announce Altruis Group (Altruis), a specialized managing general underwriter (MGU), has successfully modernized the company’s existing technology stack and launched a new insurance program for storage unit facilities on the Joshu Platform in just 45 days.
Altruis’ mission to harness modern insurance technology to drive scalable growth prioritizes efficiency and innovation over traditional reliance on human capital. By leveraging the Joshu Platform, Altruis streamlined operations, reduced dependence on manual underwriting processes, and accelerated speed-to-market. This tech-first approach positions Altruis for long-term, sustainable growth in a rapidly evolving insurance landscape.
“Unlike other systems, Joshu didn’t gloss over their integration capabilities, which is imperative to meet our immediate and future goals to become a leading tech-enabled MGA,” said Jason Beneducci, Managing Director of Underwriting and Technology at Altruis Group. “It was apparent the Joshu Platform is an ultra-modern underwriting system, which is exactly what we were looking for to offset the need for 50 to 100 underwriters. With many new programs in our development pipeline, Altruis needed a system to grow alongside our product offerings.”
”From the beginning, it was clear that Altruis had a bold vision for what a tech-enabled MGA should look like,” said Mark Burkhart, Vice President of Growth for Joshu. “We’re proud that our platform could meet their integration and scalability needs, and we’re excited to support their growth as they redefine underwriting with an automation-first approach.”
