Custom software for an insurance agency that manages more than 25,000 policies

DataLab built the custom software a confidential insurance agency uses to manage more than 25,000 policies, calculate commissions for 300 sales agents and handle renewals. The three processes that drive its revenue now run in one tool, built around how the agency operates.

Figures reported by DataLab and the client for the period shown.

Context

Our client is an insurance agency whose name we keep confidential. Its business runs on three processes that leave no room for error: keeping every policy up to date, paying its sales force accurately and on time, and never losing a renewal to an oversight. When those processes break, the cost isn't just operational: the agency loses the trust of clients and agents alike.

The challenge

At that scale (more than 25,000 policies and 300 sales agents), every commission run directly affects what each agent takes home, and every renewal that lapses without follow-up is a client at risk. The challenge was to bring policies, commissions and renewals into one reliable tool, built around the way the agency actually works.

The hypothesis

If policies, commissions and renewals live in the same software, built around how the agency operates, the data has a single source of truth and the team gains control over the three processes that drive its revenue.

What we did

  • Custom software to manage the agency's entire policy portfolio in one place.
  • Commission calculation for a 300-person sales force, driven by the same policy data.
  • Renewal management so every expiration date gets follow-up before a client is left uncovered.
  • Built for the agency's real workflow by our nearshore team in Bogotá, not a generic platform forced to fit.

The readout: results

The readout, with 2026 data: the software manages more than 25,000 policies, calculates commissions for 300 sales agents and handles the agency's renewals. These are production numbers, not a pilot: the tool runs the processes that define the agency's revenue. For confidentiality reasons, we don't publish the client's name or screenshots of the system; these figures are what we can share.

Stack and tools

  • Custom software
  • Policy administration
  • Commission calculation
  • Renewal management

What we learned

This project taught us the insurance business from the inside: how a policy moves, how a commission is calculated and why a missed renewal hurts. We bring that knowledge to every software and marketing project in the insurance sector, where trust is earned through processes that don't fail.
