The customer

A fast-growing broker in a regulated market

The customer is a rapidly growing multinational insurance broker headquartered in the City of London, with approximately 400 employees operating worldwide. Since 2019, it has grown from around 80 employees and circa £10 million in turnover, while continuing to provide corporate clients with access to insurance and reinsurance markets across the globe.

In a regulated insurance environment, dependable and auditable processes are essential. As the business expanded, maintaining consistent control across teams, systems and territories became increasingly important.

The challenge

Rapid growth had outpaced the processes underneath it

Fragmented processes and islands of data meant teams were often required to re-key information between systems, operational visibility was limited, and there was no clear framework for introducing AI safely with appropriate human oversight.

Operational risk

Inconsistent or informal workflows increased the potential for errors and omissions (E&O).

Scalability

Further growth risked requiring a corresponding increase in headcount.

Unconnected data

Separate systems created duplication, hand-offs and avoidable manual work.

No safe route to AI

The business faced investor pressure to adopt AI but lacked a controlled, visible way to do so.

One practical example: claims arriving by email rather than entering a defined process. An email could potentially remain unactioned, exposing the broker to delay, service failure and a future direct claim.

Why Opzaro

Evaluated against the field — chosen for visibility, not just capability

The broker conducted a structured evaluation of Opzaro against established workflow platforms Camunda, ProcessMaker and FlowForma, as well as a solution developed internally using Microsoft Power Automate. Opzaro was selected because it combined simplicity and accessibility with the power needed for a complex global organisation — with particular weight given to complete visibility of the underlying integration logic and the way AI is used, allowing automation to be understood, governed and audited rather than hidden inside a black box.

Clear by design

Easier for operational teams to understand and use.

Powerful in practice

Capable of supporting bespoke, business-critical processes.

Visible and governable

Transparent integration logic and AI usage, with human oversight throughout.

The solution

A 12-month programme, starting where the risk is highest

Opzaro will provide the process-control and document-signing foundation for a global transformation programme, supported by ongoing professional services. Every workflow is being designed around the broker's own proprietary processes, rather than forcing teams into a generic operating model.

1

Product Operations

The programme begins here — the function closest to the claims-by-email risk and other operational exposure described above.

2

Expansion across the business

From there, Opzaro extends into IT, HR and general office administration.

3

One common framework

Creating a single framework for workflow, control and continuous improvement across the organisation.

Expected business impact

What the programme is designed to deliver

Implementation is just beginning. As it progresses, Opzaro is expected to deliver a connected operational environment in which work can be seen, measured and improved.

End-to-end visibility

Give leaders oversight of tasks, ownership, progress and exceptions.

Control and auditability

Make processes consistent, traceable and easier to evidence.

Reduced key-person dependency

Embed knowledge and control into the process rather than relying on individuals.

AI introduced safely

AI used inside governed workflows, with clear human oversight.

Integrated data

Systems connected through APIs, reducing double-keying between islands of data.

Sharper management focus

Team leaders lead, while process analytics expose bottlenecks and weaknesses.

A platform for the next stage of growth

For this broker, Opzaro is more than a workflow tool — it's intended to become the operational framework for scaling a fast-growing, regulated global business, supporting stronger quality control, lower operational risk, and a practical route to responsible AI adoption.
