Our take
Insurance brokers that sell commercial insurance process large numbers of often complex transactions, all occurring across disconnected software systems. Heral uses AI to help brokerages extract, process and load data from a wide variety of formats, centralising the processes for and accelerating the efficiency of brokerages.
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, with 80+ insurance products and more than 35 carrier partners integrable. This dedication to flexibility and scalability evidences Herald’s mission to simplify insurance purchasing, both for the customer and the brokerage.
With an impressive Series A announced in October 2024, the company will focus on enhancing its AI platform and streamlining workflows.
