Global broking business Brokerslink and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions are to develop a dedicated international insurance programme management platform for the organisation’s broker network.

The new business platform, designed by Swiss Re for Brokerslink’s growing international portfolio, will enable broker partners and affiliates to manage and deliver structured and compliant international and cross-border programmes from a single online platform. The move will see Swiss Re become one of Brokerslink’s strategic business partners.

José Manuel Fonseca, Brokerslink chairman, speaking on the collaboration at the Brokerslink global conference in Bordeaux, said: “This strategic collaboration will provide our brokers with a cutting-edge solution that directly enhances their competitive advantage and appetite to service all their cross-border and multinational insurance programmes to their clients. Swiss Re Corporate Solutions has advanced technological capabilities for international programmes and we have a unique global structure as a distribution partner. We are excited to be the first broker to collaborate with them on such an important tool which will enhance our working relationship.”

Andreas Berger, chief executive, of Swiss Re Corporate Solutions, said: "We're excited to announce this solution, which uses key functionality from our comprehensive international programme platform, for Brokerslink partners and affiliates. This agreement signals our joint desire to use technology to reshape the industry, increase efficiency in international programme delivery and improve the service experience for our mutual corporate customers.”

Brokerslink and its shareholders own and manage a network of independent brokers and risk consultancies comprising about 18,000 professionals.
