Strategy and Solutions

Zymr designed and deployed a comprehensive API automation framework to streamline carrier integrations. This included automated functional and integration testing for carrier APIs, covering quote, bind, and policy issuance flows. Schema validation and data integrity checks were implemented to ensure accurate JSON/XML payload exchanges. Performance testing was conducted to validate API stability under high traffic conditions. Additionally, mock services were created to simulate carrier APIs during development, enabling faster testing cycles and reducing dependency on live environments.

About the Client

A venture-backed insurtech startup operating a digital insurance marketplace connecting consumers with 12+ carriers for auto, renters, and life insurance. The platform enables instant quote comparison, policy binding, and digital policy issuance.

Key Outcomes

Achieved 95% automated test coverage for carrier integrations.

Reduced post-integration defects by 78%.

Business Challenges

The platform relied on APIs to integrate with multiple carrier systems, each with different data formats and SLAs. New carrier onboarding was time-intensive due to manual test cycles. The lack of robust automation in quote-bind workflows caused delays and inconsistencies during peak traffic.

Business Impacts / Key Results Achieved

Time to onboard new carriers dropped by 40%, enabling faster marketplace expansion. API response time SLAs improved by 25%, reducing user drop-off during the quote process.
