Brokerslink and Swiss Re launch new insurance IPA platform

Global broking business Brokerslink and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions have launched a dedicated international insurance programme management platform for the organisation’s broker network.

The new business platform 'Space B IPA' (International Programme Administration), designed and developed in collaboration with Swiss Re, will enable brokers to aggregate and consolidate all types of risk and insurance information including policies, premiums, deductibles and coverages, in addition to risk assessment and management details.

It has been created specifically to enable Brokerslink’s brokers in over 118 countries to manage and deliver structured and compliant international and cross-border programmes for multiple policies and insurers from a single bespoke digital platform.

José Manuel Fonseca, Brokerslink chairman, said: “The launch of Space B IPA is such an important milestone. Investing in technology to enable the network to deliver solutions efficiently and effectively to clients is a strategic priority. The network thrives on its ability to actively collaborate on business opportunities leveraging their local knowledge expertise. Space B IPA not only enables this using truly innovative technology, but it will also play a pivotal role in supporting our partners’ and affiliates’ growth and their ability to deliver a consistent, world-class service.”

Andreas Berger, CEO of Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, added: "Our collaboration with Brokerslink has been a success and shows our joint desire to use technology to advance corporate insurance together. We are excited that our IPA is now available to their network of partners and affiliates. Through centralised coordination of data and streamlined management and connectivity of programme and policy details the platform eliminates inefficiencies and administrative frictions and above all provides a better customer experience."
