We've made a jersey for Tour de InsurTech 2026. And it is, without question, the loudest, brightest piece of kit any insurance event has ever produced.

We commissioned it from Johan "Hasie" Johnston of Hasie & The Robots, a South African artist Cyclingnews calls one of only a handful in the world in this niche. Hasie isn't an artist who happens to do cycling commissions. He's a cyclist who happens to be one of the best illustrators around. He rides daily. He draws what he sees on rides. His brand motto is, quite literally, "Good Bye Boring."

His CV reads accordingly. Custom frames for Titan Racing. Saddles for SDG. Helmets, shoes, socks, jerseys for half the cycling industry. Murals for some of South Africa's most creative studios. And now, this.

Look closely and you'll spot Gigi, our giraffe and Genasys mascot since day one. Hasie didn't just paint her in. He reimagined her as Robo Gigi, a digital, robotic version of the mascot. A nod to how the world we work in has gone almost entirely digital while the spirit of what we do hasn't changed. We didn't ask him for that. He worked it out, and delivered it.

Andre Symes, our Group CEO and a proud South African, on the commission:

"We didn't want a kit that looked like every other corporate event jersey. We wanted something riders would be proud to wear, and a community proud to ride in. Bringing Hasie in felt like the right call for so many reasons, and the fact that he sent back Robo Gigi without us asking tells you everything about how much he understood the brief. He's nailed it. Now we need the riders. Tour de InsurTech is going to be one of the highlights of the insurance calendar this year, and a Hasie original is our way of saying thanks for being part of it."

You can't buy this jersey. You can only earn it.

Last week we shared a tool we built for anyone evaluating insurance platforms. It's worth a second mention for everyone who missed it.

A free, side-by-side vendor scorecard. Five vendors. 16 evaluation domains. 75+ scored criteria.

The unusual bit is what it doesn't do.

It doesn't pre-populate anything in our favour. It doesn't require an email address. It doesn't trigger a sales call. It doesn't even need you to be considering Genasys.

We built it because vendor evaluation in this industry is broken. Demos are curated to hide the gaps. RFP responses are written to confuse rather than clarify. Procurement teams are left trying to compare five different sales pitches with no shared framework underneath them.

This is the framework underneath them.

๐Ÿ”ต Compare five vendors side by side
๐ŸŸก Score across product, claims, billing, integration, security, implementation and commercial model
๐ŸŸฃ Weight by buyer profile (Insurer, MGA, Broker with DA, London Market) or use the custom sliders
๐Ÿ”ด Live Agility Index showing which platforms actually let you change things without engineering
๐Ÿฉต Notes per vendor per domain, autosaved, exportable as a PDF for your board pack

If we lose a deal because someone scored us honestly against the competition and found the better fit, that's the right outcome.

The latest issue of Modern Insurance Magazine is out.

Issue 77: Serving up Choice: The New Recipe for Insurance.

On page 57, our VP of Marketing Ed Halsey writes about The Personalisation Problem.

The argument: the insurance industry has spent a decade personalising the wrong thing. We've poured money into making the buying experience slicker and more tailored. Then, the moment the customer signs, we stop. The claims journey is generic. Risk prevention is an afterthought. Renewals are an automated email if the customer is lucky.

We've personalised the sale. We've barely built the servicing, the risk management or the post-sale experience that sits behind it.

The piece pulls together data from McKinsey, the CII, PKF Littlejohn and the Insurance Times Digital Adoption Report to argue that the industry knows retention is where the money is, knows human contact drives satisfaction, knows brokers are buried in admin, and still directs the vast majority of its technology investment towards acquiring new customers.

Ed's take on where Insurtech goes next:

๐Ÿ”ต Stop chasing the front end that wins the pitch
๐ŸŸก Build the back end that keeps the customer feeling looked after
๐ŸŸฃ Free brokers from admin so they can spend time on the relationships that drive renewal
๐Ÿ”ด Point the technology at the moments that matter

Worth your time. Hayley Dalton and the Modern Insurance team have pulled together a strong line-up this issue, with contributions from PIB Group, PremFina, and the https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vNS6n0 board led by Manjit Rana.

Oops. We've built something we probably shouldn't have.

A vendor scorecard for people evaluating insurance platforms.

The catch? It works for any vendor you like, not just us. We wouldn't dare pre-populate anything with our own biases. That's for you to determine.

What you get:

๐Ÿ”ต Five vendors compared side by side
๐ŸŸก 16 evaluation domains, 75+ scored criteria
๐ŸŸฃ Pre-configured buyer profiles (Insurer, MGA, Broker w/ DA, London Market) or custom sliders if your business doesn't fit a template
๐Ÿ”ด Live scoring with an Agility Index that pulls out how quickly each platform actually lets you change things without engineering
๐ŸŸขNotes and rationale captured per domain, autosaved, exportable as a PDF

And it's totally free. No email gating, no obligation to include us, no sales call.

We built it because most vendor evaluation processes are great at asking for information and not so great at evaluating it. So this is the framework underneath.

If we lose a deal because someone scored us honestly against the competition and found the better fit, that's the right outcome. We'd rather that than win the wrong one.

Last time we ran this, the highest score genuinely surprised us as a handful of people got near top marks in record times. So we made this one trickier....and with an unlimited number of random questions.

"Just policy admin" is the most expensive phrase in insurance.

It sounds like data entry. It isn't.

A policy is a contract that has to survive an MTA at 3pm on a Tuesday, recalculate IPT when the risk address crosses a tax border, generate a compliant document set in the right language, feed a bordereau the capacity provider actually trusts and still be sitting there eighteen months later when a claim lands asking what cover was in force on the day of loss, post-adjustment, post-declaration and days before the new renewal terms land.

Now multiply that across every product, every territory, every channel and every regulatory regime you operate in. Then you have an opportunity to launch a new product with a fresh capacity provider, but the catch is that it needs to be live in six weeks...you freeze.

This is why most legacy platforms quietly fall over. They were built for a single product in a single country, with channels and territories bolted on later as someone made a roadmap promise. Configuration goes through IT - it's a full GANT-charted project with multiple stakeholders and expesive resources involved. New endorsements wait for the next release cycle. New rating factors have developers sucking in air like a mechanic about to let you know just how much that replacement thingymabobby is going to run you.

Genasys was built the other way round. Configure the product, the rates, the tax logic, the documents and the compliance rules once. Administer them at scale across new business, MTAs, cancellations and renewals, from the UK to South Africa, Australia to Japan, all in one platform.

If you've ever sat in a steering committee asking why an increased excess requires a project plan, you already know what we're solving.

We came to BIBA with brochures and a demo. We left with a clearer read on where the broker and MGA market is heading in 2026.

A stand at an event with 9,900 people isn't as much a sales channel as it is a listening post. So for two days, we listened.

What we heard didn't always match the headlines.

The reported picture looks healthy. Lloyd's posted a record result. Broker confidence sits near record highs. But the conversations on the stand were tense in a way the numbers don't capture.

Ten things stood out:

๐Ÿ”ต Broker margins are under more pressure than the headlines suggest
๐Ÿ”ต Transformation fatigue is real, but so is the urgency
๐Ÿ”ต MGAs are the most energised part of the room
๐Ÿ”ต Compliance is consuming disproportionate resource
๐Ÿ”ต Appetite for AI is cautious, not absent
๐Ÿ”ต Integration headaches remain the number one technology complaint
๐Ÿ”ต People still want to do business face to face
๐Ÿ”ต Pricing and capacity volatility is reshaping product thinking
๐Ÿ”ต The talent pipeline is a quiet crisis
๐Ÿ”ต The gap between ambitious firms and the rest is widening

Some of these confirmed what we expected. Several didn't. A few are uncomfortable for a software company to write down, because they're about the limits of technology rather than its promise. We left them in anyway.

The full write-up is honest about what's data and what's simply what brokers told us. The two aren't the same, and the difference matters.
