The Real Cost Savings of Moving to the Modern BriteCore Platform

November 12, 2025

Property & casualty insurance carriers are increasingly turning to modern core systems not only for technology upgrades but for tangible financial impact.

The BriteCore Platform strengthens underwriting profitability by reducing operating expenses, improving loss performance, and enabling more precise pricing and reporting—ultimately lowering the combined ratio and increasing net operating income.

Modernization That Delivers Measurable Financial Gains

Legacy policy admin systems drive high IT overhead, slow product and rate changes, and excessive administrative costs. BriteCore replaces these burdens with a cloud-native, fully managed platform that eliminates ongoing maintenance costs, reduces manual processes, and supports rapid product adjustments. Carriers commonly experience large operational savings, including reduced staffing needs and lower printing, mailing, and document-handling costs.

BriteCore’s modern underwriting features enable insurers to rapidly and accurately configure their products, as insurers are ever-focused on managing their loss ratios. And as insurers review and manage their books, BriteCore Reporting enables insured-to-value analytics and real-time dashboards to manage the business end-to-end. 

Additionally, BriteCore’s partnership with Stripe extends these savings into the payments domain. Through Stripe’s secure, cloud-based payment infrastructure, carriers can modernize their billing and premium collection processes while significantly reducing payment processing fees—by as much as 67% in many cases. Stripe’s integration with BriteCore provides faster settlements, simpler reconciliation, and better visibility into premium collections, helping carriers streamline financial operations and improve the customer payment experience

Each of these items are pivotal when it comes to managing loss ratios and negotiating reinsurance rates. Even small improvements —such as a 1% reduction in claims expenses—materially strengthen underwriting income.

Predictable Total Cost of Ownership

Unlike competitors that advertise low software fees while passing on large implementation costs, upgrade costs, and ongoing maintenance costs to the carrier, BriteCore delivers predictable total cost of ownership. The cost of the initial implementation is included in BriteCore’s annual platform fee, and maintenance-related charges disappear. This allows carriers to plan confidently with stable, multi-year cost structures and eliminates the budget overruns common with other vendors.

Direct Premium Growth and Underwriting Performance

The BriteCore Platform also enables revenue growth for those insurers focused on expanding their business. Carriers can launch new lines of business and new states quickly, improve agent conversion through modern digital experiences, and strengthen retention with better pricing and reporting. Growth accelerations—paired with measurable loss and expense reductions—translate into meaningful improvements in underwriting income.

The Illustrative Financial Impact for Carriers

When the full power of the BriteCore platform is utilized and these improvements are combined—operational savings, reduced claims, improved reinsurance pricing, and predictable platform costs—the economic impact is substantial. Purpose-built to improve Combined Ratios, BriteCore has helped insurers drive growth and manage their cost structures, delivering material increases to Net Operating Income.
