AXIS Adopts Sixfold’s Purpose-Built AI Solution

5 min read

October 18, 2024 - Sixfold, the AI solution designed to streamline end-to-end risk assessments for underwriters, announced its partnership with AXIS, a global leader in specialty insurance and reinsurance, a collaboration that has yielded positive results in its initial rollout. Within the first month of deployment, AXIS underwriters leveraged Sixfold’s solution to improve efficiency, accurately classifying businesses and aligning cases with their risk appetite.

“This partnership is all about leveraging AI to empower our underwriters and even further enhance the service we provide to our customers. We were searching for a solution that could reliably deliver precision, and Sixfold has done just that and more.
The real game-changer has been the time savings—freeing up valuable hours so our underwriters can zero in on the work that drives results while ultimately benefiting the customer” said Josh Fishkind, Head of Innovation at AXIS.

“Our goal is to provide meaningful ROI for all our customers, and AXIS has already begun to see these benefits,” said Alex Schmelkin, Sixfold's Founder & CEO. “We look forward to continuing our partnership as AXIS discovers more ways Sixfold can enhance their underwriting processes.”
