Bridge Specialty Group announced the launch of a new personal lines digital marketplace powered by Cogitate’s Digital Edge platform, enabling agents to submit a single application and receive eligibility and premium indications from multiple carriers, including Markel’s excess‑and‑surplus homeowners product.
The marketplace, built on API‑enabled carrier integrations, currently supports more than 18,000 users across 5,000 agencies, giving Markel a broader distribution channel for its specialty homeowners coverage. By streamlining quoting and underwriting workflows, the launch is expected to accelerate market penetration and improve pricing efficiency for Markel’s E&S product line.
Markel’s participation underscores the company’s strategy to leverage technology to expand its specialty insurance reach while maintaining underwriting discipline. The launch represents a tangible step toward Markel’s goal of scaling its core specialty offerings through modern, cloud‑native solutions.
Bridge Specialty Group is a large global insurance wholesaler that partners with carriers to provide distribution solutions, and Cogitate’s Digital Edge platform is designed to streamline insurance processes through API integrations, AI, and a unified digital experience. The E&S market has experienced significant growth in recent years, and the new marketplace positions Markel to capture a larger share of this expanding segment.
