Premise

ASKA is an international insurance company. Since it provides services abroad and throughout the whole country, the next step of its development was partial transfer of its sales to Internet. However, due to sharp specificity of insurance products, it was impossible to use any of ready-made e-commerce scripts.

Solution

XITEX Software developed a global e-commerce platform for goods and services retail, which was successfully sharpened for the big international insurance company. The system allows company’s analytics create insurance products without any assistance, using the visual tool similar by its functions to Excel, WYSIWYG editor and the multi-page form builder. The solution makes possible creation of insurance products of any type and complexity. The visitor can get comprehensive information about each product, use calculator to figure out the policy’s cost and order the policy. Since insurance policy is quite a complex product, which has many options that impact on its cost (thus, it has many options to adjust while creating a new policy), ASKA e-commerce is a custom solution designed for insurance companies.
