WHO IS GENASYS
Genasys is an InsurTech company, founded in 1997 by Steve Symes, who recognised that software would be the key to revolutionising insurance efficiency and delivering exceptional customer experiences. Starting from humble beginnings in Symes’ garage in Cape Town, the company has evolved from a two-person development project into global award-winning Insurtech leader celebrating over 25 years of innovation.
Genasys currently operates from three key locations: London, Johannesburg, and Cape Town, and is in the process of expanding to Lisbon, Portugal.
Genasys is a “challenger brand” in the Insurtech space, offering a comprehensive, cloud-based insurance administration platform that is modern, pragmatic, API-first and implementation-light compared with traditional enterprise core-systems vendors.
**We distinguish ourselves through several key differentiators: **
Modular and Configurable Architecture: The Genasys platform features over 350 pre-configured insurance products and easy-to-use no-code tools allowing insurers to build, customise and deploy new products rapidly reducing technical bottlenecks and operational overhead.
**Speed to Market: **The platform enables insurers to reduce typical product launch timelines from up to 12 months to as little as 10 days through its intuitive no-code product building capabilities. This represents a distinctive competitive advantage in a market where speed of innovation is crucial.
**Comprehensive Functionality: **The platform delivers end to end insurance administration across all core functions including:
• Quote and bind processes across multiple risk types
• Policy administration with multi-line, multi-coverage capability
• Claims management with automated settlement workflows and analytics tools
• Billing and premium collection with flexible configurable payment options
• Documentation management with automated on-brand document generation
• Reinsurance management with full visibility and control
**Global Scalability: **The platform supports multiple currencies, languages, and regulatory environments, making it well-suited for international expansion.
