ClarionDoor

Insurance product distribution software for carriers, MGAs, and distribution networks

Distribution & Sales Growth Acquired

Overview

ClarionDoor is an insurance product distribution platform providing rate-quote-bind-issue capabilities for carriers, managing general agents (MGAs), and distribution networks. The company enables insurers to configure and deploy insurance products across distribution channels through an API-based, low-code architecture.

The platform includes modules for rating, quoting, issuance, and forms management, delivered as cloud-native software. Its API-first design allows integration with existing policy administration systems without extensive IT involvement, supporting faster product launches and distribution workflow automation. ClarionDoor operates across personal and commercial lines and serves customers in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

ClarionDoor was acquired by Zywave in November 2021 and now operates as part of Zywave's configure-price-quote (CPQ) technology portfolio. Prior to acquisition, the company served 70+ customers globally. The platform is marketed alongside Zywave's agency and broker tools as part of an end-to-end distribution stack.
