Seeing how technology can increase efficiency, improve customer service and drive compliance in a landscape that is becoming ever more complex — that’s a critical industry challenge that JAVLN is addressing.

By GlobalDataDale Smith, CEO of JAVLN, continued: “It’s an honour to welcome Rosalie and Peter to the JAVLN leadership team as we focus on growing our presence in Australia and beyond.

In 2023, JAVLN purchased Steadfast Group’s Underwriter Central and Insurance Connect businesses for an undisclosed sum.
With the deal, JAVLN will continue to aid underwriting agencies, including independent entities and those owned by Steadfast, by using Underwriter Central.
JAVLN will also offer a method for these clients to migrate to its platform.
The acquisition expands JAVLN’s technical consulting and support capabilities in Australia.
It will see Underwriter Central employees in Melbourne becoming part of JAVLN. Underwriter Central general manager Justin Hurrell will also join the insurtech.
