GUILDFORD, UK – Kewill (LSE: KWL) a leading provider of global solutions for the dynamic supply network today officially announces a three year contract with Provident Insurance. Just weeks after signing the contract, Provident is already benefiting from Kewill InsuranceXchange (KIX) - a cost effective data communication platform which is enabling streamlined communications with Provident’s business partners. Provident provides motor insurance to around half a million policyholders through a nationwide network of more than 3000 intermediaries.
Provident Insurance regularly reviews its technology infrastructure seeking to enhance its business efficiencies. Having identified that previous data communications processes were complicated and costly, Provident Insurance was looking for a means to increase the speed and efficiency of its data transmission. KIX now provides a cost effective and straightforward solution for its data communication and electronic trading.
KIX delivers a technology agnostic, communication platform converting and transferring data between business partners regardless of the back office systems they deploy.
Shaun Kelly, Senior Manager, Sales and Marketing at Provident Insurance said:
“As a business we measure our systems against the marketplace. As a part of an efficiency project we identified that KIX would provide us with a more simplistic process making us more cost effective and the rapid implementation time meant we could start enjoying these benefits almost instantly. ”
