Serverless Pet Insurance Quotation Platform

Streamlining complex insurance quoting into a fast, intuitive, and scalable digital experience — cutting quotation processing time in half

Key Outcomes

01

50% faster quotation processing

Smart UI/UX design and serverless backend processing cut quotation processing time in half — reducing friction at the most critical point in the customer journey.

02

Smart UI/UX reduces friction

Intuitive multi-pet quoting flows, progressive disclosure, and contextual guidance eliminate unnecessary steps — making complex insurance quoting feel effortless for customers.

03

Marketing tool integration

Quote events, funnel progression, and drop-off signals feed directly into marketing platforms, enabling automated follow-up campaigns and conversion optimization.

The Challenge

Complex quoting logic meets customer simplicity

Knose required a modern digital platform capable of handling complex quotation logic while remaining fast, intuitive, and scalable.

The challenge extended beyond the technical — it was about ensuring customers could move through the quoting journey smoothly, even when multiple pets were involved, without unnecessary friction or delays.

The platform also needed to integrate with marketing tools to enable automated follow-up and conversion campaigns, and support promotional campaigns and partner-led distribution models without redevelopment.

Manual quoting processes limited scalability and slowed partner-driven growth.

Our Approach

Speed, clarity, and scalability by design

The Kipanga Digital Platform Protocol

Kipanga delivered a responsive, serverless quotation application designed to simplify a traditionally complex insurance workflow.

Rather than focusing on product mechanics, the system was engineered around speed, clarity, and scalability — ensuring the experience felt effortless for users while remaining robust behind the scenes.

The data layer was built on DynamoDB for low-latency reads and writes, with AWS DMS handling data migration and synchronization across systems. The serverless backend using AWS API Gateway and Lambda ensured reliability and automatic scaling under load.

Marketing tool integration was a first-class concern — quote funnel events are tracked and forwarded to marketing platforms, enabling automated re-engagement campaigns for quote drop-offs and personalized follow-up sequences.

Phase 01

UX Design

Smart UI/UX with progressive disclosure and contextual guidance

Phase 02

Quote Logic

Structured multi-parameter pricing engine for accurate policy quotes

Phase 03

Serverless Build

DynamoDB, AWS DMS, API Gateway, and Lambda for on-demand processing

Phase 04

Marketing Integration

Quote event tracking and marketing platform integration for conversion optimization

The Solution

Responsive serverless quotation platform

A cloud-based quotation tool that handles the full quoting journey — from pet details input through to policy pricing — with zero delays and 50% faster processing than the previous system.

The smart UI/UX design uses progressive disclosure and contextual guidance to reduce friction at every step. Each pet policy is handled independently while presenting a unified, simple user journey — even when quoting for multiple pets simultaneously.

DynamoDB powers the data layer with sub-millisecond reads, while AWS DMS ensures seamless data migration and synchronization. Quote events feed into marketing platforms for automated follow-up, drop-off recovery, and conversion tracking.

The modular front-end supports future brand extensions, while the serverless backend scales automatically with traffic.
