Last year, WIU introduced five products across more than 30 states on the Joshu platform within an eight-week time frame.
Building on this achievement, WIU, which offers insurance products for small fleet truckers and owner-operators, has further broadened its portfolio of affordable, commercial insurance products with the recent launches.
Joshu solution consulting and client success vice-president Kevin Powers said: “WIU’s product expansion was completed in under 100 days, not only exemplifying the reasons we built Joshu but also maintaining their spot in Joshu Century Club and demonstrating the value of leveraging modern insurance technology.”
