Through the alliance, ZA Tech hopes to transform and streamline the online insurance distribution and claims process for both insurance companies and customers.

Under the collaboration, Carro will use ZA Tech’s platform, Fusion, to manage administrative functions such as quote generation, policy renewals, and e-policy notifications.
