As technology advances and online business models become more prevalent, customers’ expectations and actual processes for purchasing products and services are changing dramatically. Under these circumstances, an embedded insurance product that incorporates insurance products into actual products and services offered online is attracting attention as a convenient way to purchase an insurance product.

To meet such needs, GA technologies, which streamlines and digitalizes real estate investment procedures, and Finatext, which provides Inspire, a service that allows for fully digitalized insurance and embedded insurance products, have jointly developed a system providing an Embedded Property Insurance product.
