Insurance companies must process underwriting cases efficiently, particularly for non-Straight Through Process (non-STP) cases, which often involve manual reviews of medical documents and risk assessments. This traditional process is time-consuming, prone to errors, and challenging to scale.

This system automates the underwriting process, improves decision accuracy, enhances efficiency, and reduces the time required to process complex cases.
