This partnership empowers both companies to cultivate innovation and provide superior service to their customers, thereby accelerating their respective growth trajectories.
Enhanced Offerings for Bold Penguin’s Customers
For users in the United States, this partnership is particularly beneficial as it will enable access to bolttech's extensive personal lines solutions through the same user-friendly interface. This integrated approach not only broadens the spectrum of insurance options available to agents but also enhances their capacity to protect their clients—ranging from small business owners to dynamic entrepreneurs.
Peter Settel, President and CEO of Bold Penguin, emphasized the value of this partnership in a recent statement: "Our partners choose us for our dedication to their success, and we continuously develop software designed to foster intelligent growth in commercial insurance. By incorporating bolttech's personal lines solutions, we empower our partners to expand their offerings and protect the economic drivers of our society—the innovators and creators who take risks."
