Steadfast Group Technology executive general manager Chris Rouse said: “JAVLN is an innovative, forward-thinking business, and this deal strengthens our relationship.

“I am pleased to be able to offer Underwriter Central clients the opportunity to move on to JAVLN’s modern and easy-to-use cloud-based policy management platform.”

In February 2023, JAVLN announced that insurance broking network NZbrokers went live with its cloud-driven policy management platform.

Deployment of the platform helps more than 48 businesses represented by NZbrokers to communicate more closely with clients and insurers in addition to boosting operational and business capabilities.

It also provides NZbrokers members with improved access to their clients and policies, as well as a contemporary and user-friendly interface, and a multi-quote function that enables the real-time receipt of quotes from insurers or underwriting organisations.
