20 Years of Appulate

Happy Birthday Appulate.

Today officially marks 20 years since Appulate was first launched back in 2005. While that may feel like a lifetime ago, looking back, I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve built together. From the fantastic Appulate team to the countless Agencies, Carriers, and MGAs that make Appulate part of their everyday life, I thank each and every one of you. 

Let's take a journey together.

Join me on a short trip 20 years in the past, and if you’re anything like me, one fact about insurance stands out amongst all the rest back then: applications were needlessly complicated. All those frustrating back-and-forths applying for coverage was enough to give anyone nightmares, which is why we wanted to propose a solution: Supplemental Pro. 

Suddenly, all those carrier-specific forms were now completed effortlessly, and before we knew it, we were normalizing ACORD data across the board. Allowing information to flow seamlessly between Agents, MGAs, and Carriers across the country.  

After this, we could refine our strategy to keep the wins coming for our clients, continuing to eliminate inconsistencies, reduce errors, and accelerate their submissions to record pace. What once took days, could now be completed almost instantly.

Where are we now?

Fast-forward to 2025 and as of this year we're now working alongside over 300,000 users. Powering the digital transformation of insurance by bringing together the Insured, Agent, Wholesale Broker, MGA, and Carrier on one Multi-Tennent solution. Providing expert solutions designed to expedite the rate, quote, and bind process for property and casualty risks. All the while launching brand-new features such as quote automation, effortless agent accounting, and streamlined questionnaires, amongst others. Needless to say, it’s been quite an adventure!

So, what's next?

Well, we’re not stopping here. Insurtech is ever evolving, and we’re more committed than ever to staying ahead of the curve. Continuing to push boundaries and bring you the best possible product to help you work smarter, not harder, for the next 20 years and beyond. 

Which means... 

Expect more innovation, more integration, and more ways to make your job easier! 

So, from me, and all of us here at Appulate, thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve been with us since the early days or just joined the Appulate community recently, we hope you’re as excited as we are for what’s ahead.
