Sixfold, the AI underwriting InsurTech used by insurers including Zurich, Skyward Specialty, AXIS and Generali GC&C, has entered a strategic partnership with Sollers Consulting, an international insurance technology consultancy. The collaboration will help carriers speed up underwriting transformation across Europe, the UK and North America.
The partnership combines Sixfold's AI-driven risk assessment platform with Sollers' implementation and advisory expertise, giving carriers a single programme covering AI, consulting and technology delivery. Several joint engagements are already underway, each built around the individual insurer's technology stack and underwriting needs.
Sixfold's platform supports the core pressures facing underwriting teams: automating submission intake, evaluating risk against a carrier's own appetite, and returning explainable recommendations without requiring staff to leave their existing systems. The company reports processing over 1.5 million submissions across more than 50 lines of business.
What the platform delivers
Customer-reported results include processing speed gains between 50% and 97%, hit ratios climbing by at least 15%, and gross written premium per underwriter rising by as much as 30%. Sixfold does not replace established underwriting infrastructure; it works alongside existing systems, which lowers the barrier to adoption for carriers with legacy technology.
The partnership highlights a shift in how insurers pursue automation. Instead of buying AI tools in isolation and trying to integrate them internally, carriers can now buy a combined package of software and implementation support from a single programme. That model speaks directly to the common pain point: buying the software is easy, making it work in production is the hard part.
Why this matters for insurance professionals
For underwriters and insurance technology managers, the takeaway is that AI-enabled prioritisation and recommendation tools are becoming standard in the commercial submission process. When deployments report a 15% minimum improvement in hit ratios and GWP per underwriter climbing as much as 30%, the competitive gap between carriers that adopt these tools and those that don't grows wider.
For those looking to understand how these tools fit into broader finance and insurance workflows, resources like AI for Insurance and AI for Finance provide practical context on implementation and training.
