Empowering a Belgian Insurance Provider with Seamless Management Tools
SmartDev’s client operates in the Belgian insurance market, offering advanced solutions for liability coverage to a mid-sized customer base. Their primary focus is on delivering user-friendly tools for managing personal and commercial liability insurances. To expand their product offerings, the client sought to introduce new liability coverages and integrate them seamlessly into their existing platform. The project aimed to develop a widget for simplifying the insurance management process and a plugin for handling backend processes like data collection, processing, and storage. Maintaining system compatibility and ensuring operational efficiency were key technical goals.

The Challenge
SoFie faced significant challenges in product development, particularly due to the frequent changes in requirements from their side, which highlighted a lack of clear initial product specifications. The company required a flexible and scalable solution, but the evolving nature of their demands made it difficult to maintain consistency in the development process. SoFie also lacked the technical expertise to ensure that the correct formulas for calculating insurance coverages were implemented from the outset.
This led to recurring issues with inaccurate formulas for their liability insurance products, creating a pressing need for validation and accuracy in the underlying algorithms. Furthermore, SoFie’s existing system architecture was not fully equipped to handle these changes without risking the introduction of new errors or inefficiencies, exacerbating the need for external technical support.

The Solution
SmartDev addressed these challenges by providing our client with expert guidance and an adaptive development approach. The team recognized that the client required not only technical solutions but also a clear process for handling the unpredictability in their requirements. By implementing regular consultations and iterative development cycles, SmartDev enabled the company to continuously refine their objectives without derailing the overall project. This approach provided the flexibility needed to incorporate new features and changes while maintaining project deadlines.
In terms of the technical gaps, SmartDev played a pivotal role in ensuring accuracy where the company lacked the necessary internal capabilities. The development team worked to validate and test the insurance formulas early in the project, preventing incorrect calculations from causing further downstream errors. By taking ownership of these critical aspects of the system, SmartDev not only delivered a robust widget and plugin but also ensured the final product met their operational and regulatory needs.
