Sapiens UnderwritingPro solution drives efficiency and automation with advanced technology and end-to-end functionality

ROCHELLE PARK, N.J., Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sapiens International Corporation, (NASDAQ: SPNS) (TASE: SPNS), a leading global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, announced today that Sapiens UnderwritingPro for Life & Annuities has received a 2024 XCelent award, in the Customer Base and Support categories in the North America region for new business and automated underwriting (NBUW) systems. This marks the third consecutive time Sapiens has been awarded by Celent for its underwriting solution.

Research and consulting firm Celent analyzed 20 NBUW systems for North America life insurance and using their Technical Capability Matrix placed solutions in categories based on the sophistication and breadth of its technology and functionality. Based on reference materials and a live demonstration, Sapiens was highlighted as a Functionality Standout in the matrix. Customer base and support is also analyzed with opinion drawn from customer references and Sapiens was recognized as the top performer in this category.

“This award acknowledges Sapiens’ commitment to delivering exceptional solutions that empower insurers to streamline processes and achieve superior outcomes,” said Roni Al-Dor, CEO and President of Sapiens. “UnderwritingPro reflects our dedication to innovation, customer success, and operational excellence, enabling our clients to drive efficiency and elevate their underwriting capabilities.”

According to the Celent report, “The system’s case management and underwriting features provide end-to-end functionality for the full underwriting process. A new feature is direct messaging with agents within the UnderwritingPro system, where underwriters can add case notes and request specific documents from agents, which are then visible in the agent’s portal.” Celent also recognized significant investment into Sapiens Underwriting Rules Engine stating, “The rules engine was revised to provide search capability, and the UI across all rules engine components makes configuration much simpler. Most Sapiens clients are self-sufficient and manage their rules with non-technical staff.”

The report added, “UnderwritingPro’s client base has helped this become a strong new business and underwriting solution targeted at making the underwriting process more effective and efficient for any line of business. Celent believes it should be on an insurer’s short list if they are looking for a new business and underwriting system.”

Sapiens UnderwritingPro is a web-based, new business, automated underwriting solution that drives straight-through processing, elevating both the internal and external customer experience. Using traditional data and evolving, alternative data sources, UnderwritingPro provides innovative and accelerated risk analysis and a full-featured underwriting workbench to support the wide spectrum of new business cases, from application receipt to coverage decision.

Loliware receives commitment of technical assistance from Subnational Climate Fund to introduce SEA Technology® to the region, beginning with Guatemala

Published

on

By

The Subnational Climate Fund (SCF) is going to provide technical grant support to Loliware’s plastic-free initiative in Central America – an initiative at the intersection of plastic pollution, blue economic development, and climate change mitigation.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Subnational Climate Fund (SCF) is going to provide technical grant support to Loliware’s plastic-free initiative in Central America – an initiative at the intersection of plastic pollution, blue economic development, and climate change mitigation. The project aims to replace conventional plastic with Loliware’s seaweed-based resins, which are regenerative, carbon-capturing, and entirely biobased. The project addresses both plastic waste and environmental challenges practically and sustainably.

Loliware is partnered with a leading family-owned manufacturing company in Guatemala for the project site. Guatemala is the largest economy in Central America and has already made significant strides towards sustainable development. With a GDP of approximately $84 billion, the country has implemented the Climate Change Framework Law, which supports the Low Emission Development Strategy (LEDS). This strategy aims to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 59% by 2050. It targets six key sectors: energy, transportation, industry, land use, agriculture, and waste management. This foundation enables more innovative projects like Loliware’s to contribute to and achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

And like Loliware, Guatemala is already working towards a plastic-free future. In 2019, the government implemented a nationwide ban on single-use plastics like bags, straws, and food containers, requiring businesses to transition to compostable materials. However, despite this progress, challenges such as limited waste management infrastructure and open burning of plastics in rural areas persist, posing serious environmental and health risks.

Loliware, with the technical assistance support from the Subnational Climate Fund (SCF), is advancing solutions to address these challenges with the introduction of seaweed-based resins—regenerative biomaterials made with ocean-farmed seaweed, that are both backyard compostable and biorenewable. Beyond reducing plastic waste, this initiative supports coastal resilience, empowers women through job creation, and strengthens local economies, aligning with Guatemala’s sustainability goals.

“We are honored to join forces with the extraordinary families and manufacturing communities in the region. Loliware’s initiative marks the beginning of a long-term collaboration, and we are fully dedicated to driving meaningful and enduring positive impact. By introducing regenerative seaweed materials, we hope to end plastic pollution and safeguard the Rio Motagua for future generations.” – Sea Briganti, Founder & CEO, Loliware

Guatemala marks just the beginning. Over the next three years, Loliware intends to collaborate with six more plastics manufacturers across Central America. This effort highlights the region’s potential to emerge as a global leader in advancing the green economy and promoting technological innovation.

About SCF

The Subnational Climate Finance initiative (SCF) invests in subnational climate-smart infrastructure projects incorporating nature-based solutions including sustainable energy, waste and water management, urban development solutions and sustainable agriculture. The SCF Initiative consists of an investment fund managed by Pegasus Capital Advisors and a Technical Assistance Facility executed by Catalytic Finance Foundation, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Gold Standard.

About Loliware

Established in 2016, Loliware is a materials innovation company utilizing AI to develop materials to replace single-use plastics with seaweed-based alternatives. Our groundbreaking SEA Technology® Resins present a sustainable solution with endless potential. Compatible with existing plastic manufacturing equipment, they enable the production of home-compostable, circular products that aid in Earth’s regeneration. Loliware’s current line of award-winning seaweed-based bio-resins matches conventional plastics’ performance, addressing the issue of microplastics and promoting nature-based carbon sequestration. SEA Technology® Resins have been successfully validated by leading manufacturers, compounders, and brands globally and are available for licensing.
