Willis, Kayna, and Kwant Launch KwantSure: A New Era of Embedded Insurance for Construction

Quick Summary

Willis, Kayna, and Kwant have launched KwantSure, an embedded insurance program designed for construction subcontractors. The solution integrates directly into Kwant’s workforce management platform, allowing users to secure project-compliant coverage in minutes, streamlining the certificate of insurance (COI) process and reducing administrative risk for general contractors.

How Does KwantSure Solve Construction Compliance Issues?

The embedded insurance solution addresses the persistent friction between general contractors and subcontractors regarding insurance verification. By integrating real-time COI tracking directly into the workforce management workflow, KwantSure ensures that subcontractors can identify and fill coverage gaps immediately. This eliminates the traditional back-and-forth of manual document verification, which often delays project starts.

• Instant Quote Generation: Subcontractors can bind coverage in minutes rather than days.
• Automated Compliance Alerts: Real-time monitoring flags expired or insufficient policies.
• Tailored Coverage Options: Includes General Liability, Cyber, and pay-as-you-go Workers’ Compensation.

"Delivering tech-enabled, embedded insurance solutions is a key strategic priority for us. By integrating Willis-brokered insurance directly into Kwant’s COI tracking platform, we are simplifying access to coverage for subcontractors, strengthening compliance and removing friction from the procurement process." said Nabeel Tanveer, US Affinity and Programs Leader at Willis.

What Results Has the Kwant Platform Delivered?

Kwant’s existing infrastructure provides a massive data set that powers the embedded insurance engine. The platform currently supports 160,000 workers across the United States and has tracked over 45 million hours of labor. This deep operational data allows for more accurate risk assessment and streamlined underwriting for subcontractors.

• 50% Reduction: Significant decrease in safety incidents on major construction projects.
• 11% Productivity Boost: Improved operational efficiency through automated workforce insights.
• Real-time Visibility: General contractors gain instant oversight of the insurance status of every worker on site.

"By combining Kwant’s project intelligence with Willis’ broking expertise and Kayna’s technology, we’re making insurance faster, simpler and more accessible for contractors. Contractors can secure coverage in minutes while staying compliant through proactive alerts and real-time monitoring. Together, we’re helping reduce risk across complex projects and laying the foundation for a broader suite of digital insurance solutions." said Niran Shrestha, CEO and Co-Founder of Kwant.

How Does Kayna Technology Enable Vertical SaaS Growth?

Kayna acts as the insurance infrastructure layer, connecting the Kwant platform with modern carriers. This partnership demonstrates how vertical SaaS providers can monetize their data while providing essential services to their user base. By leveraging digital trading capabilities, the partnership delivers a data-led procurement journey that is far more efficient than traditional brokerage models.

"Kwant is helping subcontractors to close the compliance gap and mitigate the risk of underinsurance in real time. This is how a vertical SaaS platform can elevate business practices, solve problems and provide real value for its customers. KwantSure provides a data-led, end-to-end insurance solution, designed specifically to support the needs of Kwant customers as they position their businesses for continuity and sustained growth. I’m delighted that our work together has resulted in such a powerful tool for a trusted platform that is driving change in construction, making it safer, smarter and more efficient." said Paul Prendergast, CEO of Kayna.

FF NEWS TAKE:

This partnership definitely moves the needle for the construction sector. By moving embedded insurance from a theoretical concept to a functional tool within a platform managing 160,000 workers, Willis and Kayna are proving that vertical SaaS is the future of commercial insurance distribution. This isn't just about convenience; it’s about using real-time data to solve the chronic problem of underinsurance in high-risk industries.
