Concirrus, a specialist insurtech company, has officially launched Concirrus Inspire, an AI-native underwriting platform aimed at helping specialty insurers and managing general agents accelerate their processes while retaining control over underwriting appetite, exposure, and portfolio outcomes.
Covering the entire underwriting lifecycle, from submission through binding and beyond, Inspire enables underwriters to make confident decisions and supports business growth without requiring proportional increases in staff.
Designed specifically for the complexities of specialty insurance, Inspire combines line-specific underwriting applications with a line-agnostic policy management foundation.
This modular approach allows firms to deploy functionality where it is needed while maintaining consistency across the enterprise. The platform mirrors how underwriters work across different lines of business, accommodating the nuance and variation inherent in specialty risk.
As specialty insurers expand, maintaining operational clarity alongside increasing volumes of underwriting has become increasingly critical. Inspire addresses this challenge by embedding AI and automation throughout the underwriting workflow. From submission intake to quoting and binding, the platform reduces manual effort, streamlines operations, and allows underwriters to make timely, data-driven decisions that remain aligned with organisational appetite.
By providing a single, modular platform, Concirrus limits the need for complex integration projects or lengthy transformation programmes, helping organisations modernise their underwriting processes while providing a foundation that can adapt as business needs evolve.
Inspire is built around strategic advantages that give insurers, brokers, and MGAs a competitive edge. It allows underwriters to move from submission to a confident, data-backed decision in minutes rather than days, capturing opportunities without compromising discipline. It provides real-time visibility into exposure and accumulation, supporting growth while ensuring risks remain within appetite.
AI functions as a force multiplier, allowing expert underwriters to focus on complex, high-value risks while the platform manages high-volume processing. The platform’s architecture is designed for the future, enabling firms to scale securely without vendor lock-in or repeated re-platforming.
Delivered as a suite of interoperable modules, Concirrus Inspire can be adopted incrementally within a unified underwriting framework. Modules cover submission intake, triage, quoting, exposure management, data extraction, policy administration, rating, insights, portfolio oversight, adaptive workflows, and sanctions screening. Through partnerships, including with Diesta, Inspire also extends beyond underwriting to provide automated premium payment and reconciliation, offering seamless continuity from risk intake to cash receipt.
Andrew Yeoman, Chief Executive Officer of Concirrus, commented: “The specialty insurance market is evolving quickly, and underwriting teams need technology that supports both speed and discipline. Inspire is not an incremental upgrade. It is an AI-native underwriting platform designed to remove friction, support better decisions, and give insurers the confidence to scale.”
Concirrus continues to expand its AI-first platform, supported by leadership growth and strong momentum across the UK and US markets. A notable achievement is becoming the first global insurtech to attain the combined triple certification of ISO/IEC 42001 for AI governance, ISO/IEC 27001 for information security, and SOC 2 compliance, ensuring Inspire delivers speed and accuracy while meeting the highest standards for security, data protection, and ethical AI use.
As insurers adopt new technologies, Concirrus Inspire provides a clear, AI-native foundation that allows firms to modernise underwriting, operate confidently, and scale without losing control.
