Akur8 modules and modeling diagram

‍Akur8 supports pricing experts at every step of the pricing process, generating significant efficiency. From data processing and visualization to exporting final models, Akur8 provides a comprehensive modular approach to pricing built around three main modules:

1. Risk - to build technical models and pure premiums
2. Demand - to build behavioral conversion and retention models and measure price elasticity
3. Rate - to iterate on rate plans (commercial premiums) and run portfolio analyses

Deploy our modular SaaS solution across your pricing value chain

Capture demand and price sensitivity based on behavioral and competitor data

Go one step further along the pricing sophistication journey by answering the question “How likely is this prospect to buy my insurance product if I offer them this price?” Improve your demand analysis by modeling propensity to buy and price elasticity separately, generating insightful and actionable models that can also leverage external competitor data and geographical analysis.
