# QuotingEngine > Multi\-insurer online quoting and comparison platform for South African household and motor insurance ## At a glance | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Category | Distribution & Sales | | Type | Solutions Provider | | Region | EMEA | | Headquarters | Westville, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa | | Founded | 2018 | | Stage | Growth | | Funding | Bootstrapped | ## Overview QuotingEngine is a multi-insurer quoting and comparison platform serving brokers, underwriting management agencies (UMAs), and consumers seeking household and motor insurance in South Africa. It aggregates quotes across more than 40 connected South African insurers and UMAs, returning at least five comparative quotes per request as a PDF document with direct links to activate cover. The platform is available as a standalone web-based content management system, an iframe embed for an existing website, an XML/API integration that auto-populates prospect and client data into a client's policy management system, or an email-based exchange where quote requests and comparisons are sent and returned by message. For underwriting managers, it also integrates with motor-dealer systems ("Light" and "Safari") and supports custom VAT and insurance product configuration. QuotingEngine is a product of iX Online (Pty) Ltd, a Durban-based digital services company whose broader business is automotive dealership marketing tools; QuotingEngine is its dedicated insurance distribution vertical. The company is bootstrapped, with no external funding rounds identified. The 2018 founding year above reflects the operating entity's CIPC registration number, which encodes the incorporation year; a separate, unconfirmed aggregator estimate places the earlier "iX Online Motoring" brand's origin at 2001, and the two have not been reconciled. ## Products & services ### QuotingEngine \(Integration\) Core multi-quoting engine offered in several integration formats: a directly accessible web-based content management system, an iframe embed that connects to a client's existing website and database, XML/API integration with a client's policy management system to auto-populate prospect and client data, and an email-based flow where quote requests are sent and comparative quotes returned by email. **Key features:** - Comparative quotes from 40\+ connected domestic insurers and UMAs - PDF quote comparison output with direct activation links - Multiple integration modes: web CMS, iframe, XML/API, email *Target users:* Insurance brokers, underwriting managers, consumers ### The Broker Tools for insurance brokers that generate multiple insurance quotes from connected insurers within seconds, producing instant comparative PDF quotations intended to reduce turnaround time.
