NOW Insurance Inc.

About the company

Now Insurance provides liability coverage to a range of medical professionals and practitioners. Founded in 2018, NOW insurance is a digital managing general agency (MGA) that provides coverage through its digital broker portal and direct to consumer automated underwriting processes. Through its advanced underwriting capabilities, digitized policy management system, unique market position, and coverage options, NOW insurance has positioned itself as one of the leading medical Insurtechs in the industry - best known for its ability to write challenging classes of business by leveraging technology, data, and insights

The challenge

Asymm was hired to develop the NOW Brokers Portal, a web based application designed to empower brokers with a range of features and functionality. The challenge laid not only in creating designs for an advanced administrative and policy management platform but in consolidating workflows to a user experience that facilitated easier onboarding, quoting, and more. Our ultimate goal was to craft a comprehensive application that streamlined policy sign up and initiation for brokers and facilitated policy management, payment processing and billing, customer renewals, and more.

The process

01

Conduct a comprehensive analysis of existing broker centric processes and gather stakeholder input to formulate a detailed feature list for the NOW Brokers Portal.

02

Develop initial wireframes that visualize the user experience and flow of information across screens and sections of the application.

03

Iterate based on feedback from stakeholder interviews and broker guidance.

04

Establish an updated design system for NOW Insurance to ensure a consistent and visually appealing user interface (UI) and implement it across the wireframes in order to create high fidelity mockups. 

05

Collect feedback on high-fidelity mockups to ensure alignment with stakeholder expectations and the desired user experience.

06

Transform the refined mockups into digital prototypes for a more immersive and accurate assessment of the design.
