Strategy in motion

Built for nimble execution

Growth in the lower middle market wholesale segment requires speed and capital discipline.

That means quoting and binding more high-appetite business faster, applying appetite consistently across the organization, and maintaining real-time portfolio visibility for leadership.

Federato embeds capital strategy across the policy lifecycle by scoring submissions for appetite, winnability, and portfolio impact up front, so teams stay aligned as conditions change.

What our customers are saying

“When you consider that we're putting out tens of millions of dollars of limit, just one improved risk decision can pay for transformation many times over. Multiply that across a portfolio and the return becomes clear.”

What Everest needs to execute in wholesale today

From manual review to market speed

Accelerate quote bind issue across growth segments

the pain
Wholesale teams require manual review of manuscript forms, endorsements, and policy variations across carriers. This slows quote, bind, and issue, limiting SME expansion and reducing broker responsiveness.
The Solution
Federato operationalizes forms, guidelines, and underwriting rules directly within workflows. Teams execute faster in wholesale today while establishing a repeatable model that scales across lines and growth segments.
From spreadsheet strategy to instant execution

Turn risk quality and appetite into live controls

the pain
Risk quality scoring, appetite shifts, and jurisdiction changes are managed through spreadsheets or slow system updates. In wholesale, delays reduce agility and weaken competitive positioning.
The Solution
Federato embeds scoring, appetite parameters, and portfolio thresholds directly into underwriting workflow. Leaders adjust strategy in minutes and execution reflects those changes immediately across teams and business units.
From local decisions to enterprise alignment

Keep growth connected to capital and exposure strategy

the pain
As evolution expands downstream, underwriting activity must remain aligned with broader enterprise exposure and capital objectives. Fragmented systems limit real-time oversight.
The Solution
Federato delivers live visibility across submission, quote, bind, and issuance. Leadership sees production, mix, and exposure shifts instantly while maintaining alignment with enterprise modeling and capital processes.
