Old Library, Lloyd's
OneClickCover is building a disruptive technology platform that will allow people to get a competitive home insurance quote using just one parameter – their property address.

The briefing focuses on the case study and will include a live demonstration of the platform from the consumer and underwriters respective viewpoints.

By the end of the briefing, delegates will have a better understanding of:
- how data can be used for the benefit of both customers and underwriters and;
- how other MGAs might benefit from using the OneClickCover platform.
