Herald and Joshu Accelerate Digital Insurance Product Distribution

Powering Faster, Smarter Insurance Distribution, Together with Herald

At Joshu, we’re on a mission to help insurers bring new products to market faster, with less friction, fewer IT bottlenecks, and more control in the hands of insurance professionals.

‍

Recently, we announced a new partnership with Herald, a leader in commercial insurance APIs. Together, we’re combining our strengths to offer carriers, MGAs, and insurtech platforms a seamless, end-to-end solution for launching and distributing digital insurance products at unprecedented speed.

‍

The Challenge: Digital Distribution Hasn’t Been Easy

Traditionally, launching a new insurance product has been a long, fragmented process. Building the product is one challenge. Getting it distributed across multiple platforms? That’s another. Even with internal tools or legacy systems, many insurers still face long development cycles and limited reach, especially in specialty lines or niche markets where time-to-market matters.

‍

The Solution: Build Fast with Joshu, Distribute Instantly with Herald

That’s where our partnership with Herald comes in. Joshu gives product teams everything they need to build and launch fully-rated, bindable insurance products without code, and without waiting on IT. Our intuitive, no-code platform enables you to go from product concept to live portal in under 100 days.

‍

Herald connects those products to over 60 commercial lines from top carriers, offering real-time quoting, binding, and policy issuance through a single API. With one integration, you can instantly distribute your Joshu-built products across a network of digital brokers, MGAs, and insurtech platforms.

‍

Together, we’re removing the barriers that have slowed down digital transformation in commercial insurance.

‍

What This Means for Insurers and MGAs

If you’re building on Joshu, you now have a direct pathway to digital distribution—without adding development time or third-party integrations. You can:

• Launch new programs in weeks, not quarters.
• Reach hundreds of producers nationwide through Herald’s network.
• Maintain full control over your product, pricing, and updates.
• Distribute specialty or niche lines that often get overlooked in traditional channels.

‍

Built for Insurance Product Owners

At Joshu, we believe the people who understand insurance best should be the ones empowered to build and launch it. That’s why our platform is designed for insurance pros, not developers. Whether you're configuring a brand-new program or updating an existing one, Joshu gives you the tools to move fast, iterate freely, and respond to market needs—without logging a single IT ticket.

‍

Now, with Herald, the path from product idea to market impact just got even shorter.
