What the job involves

Our take
Brokerages selling commercial insurance process large numbers of complex transactions, all occurring across disconnected software systems. Herald uses AI to help brokerages extract, process and load data from a wide variety of formats, centralising processing and accelerating their efficiency.
Herald’s infrastructure works as a single API that can lift data from PDFs, spreadsheets and various information-holding software. It can be integrated into existing brokerage workflows, including both CRM systems and Agency Management software.
This dedication to flexibility and scalability reflects Herald’s mission to simplify insurance purchasing, both for the customer and the brokerage. With impressive funding at its back, it continues to work to enhance its AI platform and streamline workflows.
