Building a direct travel insurance sales platform with Altkom Insurance Suite
What was the project about?
Crédit Agricole Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń S.A. (further referred to as CATU; currently part of the Crédit Agricole Ubezpieczenia group) wanted to launch an online sales channel offering travel insurance for individual travellers and their families, along with an optional sports insurance extension. The company decided to build the new online sales platform from scratch, as it was shown to be more efficient than configuring a new product within their core system.

Who was our client?
Crédit Agricole Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń S.A. works alongside CA Życie Towarzystwo Ubezpieczeń S.A. under the umbrella of Crédit Agricole Ubezpieczenia. They are part of the Crédit Agricole Assurances capital group, which brings together all the daughter companies of the Crédit Agricole group. The group offers a wide range of cash value insurance and life insurance, as well as property and personal insurance.
What were the key challenges of the project?
- The sales system in place did not support a direct sales channel;
- Configuring a new product in the existing core system would be costly and time-consuming.
How did we address the problem?
We quickly designed and deployed a new sales platform thanks to the ready-made components of Altkom Insurance Suite for product and tariff parameterisation and configuration (microservices included in AIS Product Factory). Subsequently, we deployed new sales fronts, also based on a set of AIS parameterisation solutions, where the styles and colours were easily adapted to the client’s homepage.
In addition, we integrated the platform with an online payment operator, Bluemedia, and the client’s own product system, using a message-queueing software (RabbitMQ). In the end, the platform consisted of a sales module (front office), a management module (back office) and a direct sales web application.
