Technology

The strength of the Quote-and-Buy.com solution is the combination of advanced technology, fresh thinking and a system that is powerful yet simple to implement and manage.

The Quote-and-Buy.com solution (based on Point Solution's products & XML technology) is capable of supporting an entire sales and service process. It allows not only the capture and validation of data but also the transfer of that data into any back-office or external systems, providing a straight through processing capability.

Thanks to the range of software, as explained below, we are able to launch a new product in typically no more than 3 weeks.

Features and Benefits

  1. The definition of the transaction is completely separated from the presentation layer. Therefore the same products can be available through several brokers each having a personalised front end. Our ability to greatly tailor the definition of the presentation layer or "skin" means that each broker can have a truly personalised front end.
  2. But we go even further than that. In addition to using our powerful tool suite to develop the data capture routine and business validation rules, we follow a methodology whereby each transaction is divided into components. The transaction becomes then a lot more flexible and easier to maintain. Moreover a broker can, to a certain extent, tailor not only the front end but the transaction itself. Therefore the user experience can be totally different from one broker to the next even for the same quote and buy transaction.
  3. Our calculation engine is able to quickly generate the most complex, single or comparative quotes in an instant.
  4. Our document production facility can populate the captured data into tailored pdf documents.
  5. Our technology supports any XML standard: accord, origo, imarket etc. This means that the data can be transferred into any system provided it has an XML input.
