CDL is the one choice for OneQuote Direct
IT specialist, CDL, has become the software provider for the Europa Group’s latest development, ‘OneQuote Direct’. The new subsidiary’s motor, home and commercial vehicle offering will now operate on the CDL Classic broking platform.
Europa Group Limited, whose other brands include MotorCycle Direct, launched OneQuote Direct as a ‘one stop shop’ for consumers looking for the best quote for their motor, home or caravan insurance. OneQuote Direct searches Europa’s panel of 50 insurers to provide the best quote available and by implementing CDL’s Classic broking platform, OneQuote Direct’s online and call centre front ends can be linked directly to its back office systems.
Andy Powell, business development director at Europa, explains: “As an independent insurance group, it is important that we always look to keep one step ahead of the market and that our products remain competitive. We launched OneQuote Direct to ensure that we were maximising our cross-selling opportunities.
“To take full advantage, however, we needed an efficient IT platform that could support our new products and allow for further product development and branding exercises. We invited the major IT providers to come and talk to us and it was clear that CDL Classic was the right system for us. We are now in an excellent position to grow the OneQuote Direct business and are currently looking at some interesting affinity partnerships.”
Rick Slater, general manager of CDL, added: “The development of OneQuote Direct using CDL Classic demonstrates that the platform remains a robust and reliable IT solution for brokers. Customers of OneQuote Direct will also be able to benefit from our own recently launched CDL Motor Breakdown roadside recovery service and we are now working with Europa to roll out the system across more of the OneQuote Direct product range.”
