InsurTech

Inspiration

Our inspiration for InsurTech came from witnessing the inefficiencies and complexities of traditional insurance processes. We saw an opportunity to revolutionize the industry by leveraging technology to simplify insurance management for both insurers and policyholders.

What it does

InsurTech is a comprehensive car insurance management system that streamlines the process of purchasing, managing, and accessing car insurance policies. Users can easily browse through different insurance options, make payments securely, and access essential information about their policies, all from one centralized platform.

How we built it

We built InsurTech using a combination of Flask for the backend, HTML/CSS/JavaScript for the frontend, and Square's APIs for payment processing and order management. The backend handles user authentication, policy management, and communication with Square's APIs, while the frontend provides an intuitive and visually appealing interface for users to interact with.

Challenges we ran into

One of the main challenges we faced was integrating third-party APIs, such as Square's Payments API and Orders API, into our application. Ensuring seamless communication between the frontend and backend while handling payment transactions securely required careful planning and implementation.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud to have successfully built a robust and user-friendly car insurance management system that addresses the pain points of traditional insurance processes. Our platform simplifies insurance management for users and provides a seamless experience from policy purchase to claims processing.

What we learned

Through the development of InsurTech, we gained valuable insights into web development, API integration, and user experience design. We learned how to effectively leverage technologies to create efficient and scalable solutions that meet the needs of our users.

What's next for InsurTech

Moving forward, we plan to expand the features and capabilities of InsurTech to cater to a wider range of insurance needs. This includes implementing additional insurance types, enhancing the user interface, and integrating more advanced analytics and reporting functionalities. We're committed to continuously improving InsurTech to provide even greater value to our users and further disrupt the insurance industry.
