Health insurance quoting that used to take seven days now takes seconds.

PoliSync digitises the entire health insurance quote lifecycle — from premium calculation through medical declarations to underwriting approval — replacing fragmented Excel spreadsheets, email chains, and manual premium calculations across UAE brokerages.

The problem

Insurance brokers were calculating premiums in Excel and emailing medical forms back and forth.

Insurance brokers in the UAE were manually looking up rates across age bands, genders, regions, and plan tiers, then applying loading percentages by hand in spreadsheets. A single SME quote with 150 employees required hundreds of individual calculations.

Medical declaration forms were emailed between brokers, HR departments, and employees — completion tracked via yet another spreadsheet. Paper-based quotes went to underwriters who would review and mark up physical documents.

The full quote-to-policy cycle took 7+ days due to manual handoffs. Every step was a potential error point. Every handoff was a delay. The process was built for a market that no longer exists.

Premiums calculated by hand

Multi-dimensional pricing across 5 plans, age bands, genders, regions, benefits, and loading factors — all done in Excel.

Medical forms via email chains

Declarations bounced between brokers, HR, and employees. Completion tracked in spreadsheets. No audit trail.

7+ day quote-to-policy cycle

Manual handoffs between brokers, medical reviewers, and underwriters. Every step a bottleneck.

No competitive intelligence

Comparing competitor quotes meant manually reading PDFs page by page. No structured data. No side-by-side analysis.

What we built

A full-stack platform that digitises the entire health insurance quote lifecycle.

PoliSync replaces the entire manual workflow — from the moment a broker enters member details to the moment an underwriter approves coverage. Real-time premium calculations, self-service medical declarations, digital underwriting, and AI-powered competitor analysis — all in one platform built for UAE regulatory compliance.

This was not a migration or extension. It was a ground-up build — designed, engineered, and shipped from scratch. The architecture is a modular monolith with clean separation, structured for future microservice extraction when scale demands it. Not over-engineered. Not under-built.

Broker Portal

Insurance brokers create, price, and submit health insurance quotes for individuals and companies — with real-time premium calculations and plan comparisons.

Admin Dashboard

Administrators manage users, brokerages, insurance products, benefit configurations, and premium rate tables across the platform.

Underwriting Workspace

Underwriters review submitted quotes, examine medical declarations, adjust premiums member-by-member, and approve or reject coverage.

Medical Declaration Forms

External stakeholders submit medical history via secure, time-limited public links — no login required. Automatic flagging of high-risk cases.

REST API (127 endpoints)

The engine behind everything — authentication, premium calculations, document management, audit logging, and all business logic.

AI Quote Comparison

Uses OpenAI GPT-4o Vision to extract structured data from competitor quote PDFs, enabling side-by-side plan comparisons.

PDF Generation Service

Server-side generation of quote documents, medical forms, and comparison reports via Gotenberg HTML-to-PDF microservice.

UAE PASS Integration

Government-backed identity verification via Emirates ID OAuth — meeting DHA compliance requirements for insurance platforms.

Platform capabilities

What the system does once it's running.

01

Real-Time Premium Engine

4-step calculation: net premium lookup, ancillary benefits, copay/deductible modifiers, loading factors. Computes hundreds of individual premiums in real-time as the broker enters data.

02

Medical Underwriting Flow

Multi-party workflow where medical data flows between unauthenticated external parties and authenticated underwriters — with automatic flagging, per-member approval granularity, and compliance audit trails.

03

AI Document Extraction

Competitor PDF quotes converted to images, fed to GPT-4o Vision, structured data extracted, comparison matrices generated. Includes retry logic, token cost tracking, and timeout handling.

04

Multi-Tenant Scoping

Brokerage-level data isolation enforced at the middleware layer. Brokers see their own quotes; managers see their brokerage; admins see everything. Row-level scope filtering throughout.

05

SLA Monitoring

Automated tracking of quote confirmation (24h), medical declaration (72h), underwriting review (48h), and policy binding (24h). Alerts at 75% threshold. End-to-end cycle target: 7 days.

06

Regulatory Compliance

DHA-mandated benefit structures for Abu Dhabi vs Dubai/Northern Emirates. 7-year data retention with immutable audit trails. Field-level change tracking on every modification. Soft deletes only.

What makes this hard

This is not simple arithmetic. It is a multi-dimensional pricing engine running in real-time.

A single SME quote with 150 employees requires hundreds of individual premium calculations, each with its own combination of factors. The system computes these on the client side while the broker is still entering data.

01

Premium calculation complexity — 5 plans x 5 age bands x 3 genders x 2 regions x 13 benefits x 9 modifiers x 4 loading factors. Age-band multipliers up to +164% for 65+.

02

Multi-party medical workflow — Unauthenticated external parties submit sensitive medical data via token-based, time-limited URLs. Virus scanning, data isolation, expiry management.

03

33% scope increase absorbed — During requirements analysis, 89 story points of missing scope were discovered (the entire premium calculation engine). Identified, scoped, absorbed. Delivered 3+ weeks early.

04

UAE regulatory compliance — DHA-mandated benefit structures differ between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. UAE PASS OAuth. 7-year immutable audit trails. Field-level change tracking.

Who uses this

Five roles, one platform. Every step of the insurance workflow, digitised.

💼

Insurance Brokers

Create quotes, get instant premium calculations, manage client relationships, and submit for underwriting — all from a single interface. No more Excel.

👥

Broker Managers

Oversee team quotes, monitor brokerage performance, track SLA compliance, and manage broker assignments across the organisation.

Administrators

Configure insurance products, manage users and brokerages, set premium rate tables, configure benefit catalogues, and control platform settings.

🔍

Underwriters

Review medical risk with full declaration context, adjust premiums member-by-member, approve or reject coverage — with complete audit history.

📋

External Stakeholders

Employees and family members submit medical declarations via secure public links — no account needed. Time-limited, virus-scanned, automatically flagged.

🤖

AI-Powered Operations

GPT-4o Vision extracts structured data from competitor PDFs. Automated cleanup jobs manage storage. Token cost tracking monitors AI spend.

Platform stewardship

From first commit to production in three weeks. Then we kept building.

PoliSync is not a client project. It is an internal product built by Hash Include for deployment to insurance brokerages and carriers in the UAE. We own the product, the architecture, and the roadmap.

The first version shipped in approximately three weeks — a functional platform that brokers could use immediately. Version 1.1 followed seven weeks later with medical declarations, underwriting workspace, AI comparison, and the full premium calculation engine.

During v1.1 development, the team discovered 89 story points of missing scope — a 33% increase representing the entire premium engine. It was identified, scoped, and absorbed without slipping the deadline. The release shipped 3+ weeks early.

Oct 2025
