Client’s Quest: Embracing digital transformation
The client, a dynamic startup in the Romanian insurance market, sought to transcend traditional boundaries by acting as a technology-driven insurer. Faced with the challenges of an industry ripe for digital overhaul, the client required a solution that could not only streamline their operations but also set a new standard in customer experience and efficiency.
The solution
Zeren’s Blueprint: Engineering a Digital Disruption
Zeren responded with an innovative software platform – a comprehensive tool designed to cater to the unique requirements of an insurance and reinsurance firm. The application, developed in its first iteration, focused primarily on automobile insurance policies (RCA), setting the stage for future expansions. This platform was seamlessly integrated into the client’s existing IT ecosystem, including a Core Insurance system and ERP, ensuring robustness and continuity.
Technical highlights
Innovation under the hood: The technology driving change
The platform was architected as a web-based application, accessible from both desktop and mobile devices. It comprised key modules like:

Embracing open-source technologies, Zeren’s solution was a showcase of technical prowess. The application was developed using Node.js, a powerful JavaScript runtime, known for its efficiency and scalability. The frontend was crafted with React, a library renowned for building dynamic and responsive user interfaces. For backend database solutions and hosting services, Firebase was chosen for its real-time data synchronization and seamless integration capabilities.
This blend of technologies enabled the creation of a robust, responsive, and scalable application, aligning with the dynamic needs of the insurance industry. Furthermore, the project’s development approach was rooted in Agile methodologies. This allowed for adaptive planning, evolutionary development, and continuous improvement, all while encouraging rapid and flexible responses to change. Tools like Jira and GitHub were integral in this process, facilitating efficient project management, issue tracking, and version control.
The solution’s architecture was designed to be cloud-native from the outset, fully hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This choice was strategic, allowing for unparalleled scalability, reliability, and security. AWS’s comprehensive suite of services provided the necessary infrastructure to ensure the application’s high availability and performance, regardless of the scale of operation or the number of users.
