We use ReactJS, ANT Design, NodeJS, MongoDB, Docker, and Javascript/Typescript on AWS.

Our product was inspired by talking with 100s of agents and identifying the critical pain points in the quote, bind, and payment process. We see our solution scaling to independent agencies, agency management systems, and corporate customers.
