Detailed Review
Open GI states that it has supported brokers for more than 45 years, serves more than 16,000 users and generates more than GBP 5 billion of gross written premium in the UK and Ireland. These are its own figures.
The website terms identify Open GI Limited (company number 1519547) at Buckholt Drive, Warndon, Worcester, and the privacy notice also names Open International (5716519).
Product range
Solutions are grouped as policy administration, self-serve websites and portals, product management, and data. Data products include propensity to claim and optimal pricing, and insurer-hosted pricing is a separate offer.
Customer types
Navigation separates brokers, MGAs and insurers, and commercial lines from personal lines. A partner network and support services sit alongside.
Market focus
The site shows UK and Ireland versions and refers to English law for website use. The product is aimed at those two markets.
Limitations to Consider
It serves the UK and Ireland, so continental carriers will find fewer local rule components. No pricing is published and the pages do not name hosting regions. For a full insurer core including claims, look at Adacta AdInsure or Keylane.
