Aladdin Software

Policy administration and underwriting platform for South African short-term insurers and underwriting managers

Core Administration Established Bootstrapped

Overview

Aladdin Software is a policy administration and underwriting platform for short-term (P&C) insurers and underwriting managers (UMAs) in South Africa, covering the quote-to-bind, claims, broker distribution, and finance workflow of the insurance lifecycle.

The platform is delivered as five linked components: a no-code configuration tool for launching products, pricing, and workflow without developer involvement; a role-based desktop application for underwriting, claims, and finance staff; a self-service broker portal for quoting, binding, and processing endorsements and renewals; a SQL Server-backed reporting module for profitability and KPI tracking; and an API layer connecting the platform to third-party payment, collection, credit-scoring, and valuation providers.

The company is privately held and bootstrapped, based in Sandton, South Africa, and holds Microsoft Partner status. Named customers include Absa Insurance Company, Camargue Underwriting Managers, Thatch Risk Acceptances, Bidvest Insurance Group, and Indequity Specialised Insurance, and the vendor states its platform is in use at Lloyd's coverholders and the insurance subsidiaries of three JSE-listed groups.
