Applied Systems said it has acquired Tarmika, a leading commercial lines rating solution that streamlines small business insurance.
This complementary acquisition will expand Applied’s commercial quoting and Ivans’ distribution connectivity solutions to create a more valuable and digital distribution experience at each stage of the insurance lifecycle.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Applied has been on a journey to solve the commercial lines distribution challenge with a mission to create a fully-digital roundtrip of insurance for agents and carriers – from search and classification to carrier appetite, and then on to quote to bind,” said Taylor Rhodes, chief executive officer, Applied Systems. “Our investment in Tarmika is the next step in creating a more connected, collaborative, and efficient distribution channel that brings agencies, carriers and partners closer together to create mutual value and move our industry forward.”
Applied will invest behind Tarmika’s industry-leading, real-time commercial lines quoting technology to bring the value of its simple, modern workflows and robust product panel as a standalone application. Tarmika will be integrated with Applied Epic and EZLynx. Over time, users can expect embedded commercial lines quoting capabilities powered by Tarmika natively in the management systems. Additionally, Tarmika’s panel of commercial lines products will be integrated into Ivans Distribution Platform (IDP) to streamline the submission process through standardized digital connections to agency-facing systems.
“Tarmika was created to solve the major inefficiencies agencies experienced in their daily lives trying to grow their commercial book of business,” said Raghav Tanna, CEO and founder of Tarmika. “This acquisition will help us further our innovative mission to bring the same efficiencies of personal lines quoting to commercial lines operations.”
Recently, Pie Insurance, an insurtech company specializing in workers’ comp insurance for small businesses, announced a strategic partnership with Tarmika.
