Welcome to Decode by BIMAnalytics.ai

Welcome! Decode is designed specifically for professionals in the insurance industry, particularly those dealing with the complexities of underwriting and wholesale data flows. We understand the challenges of managing vast amounts of information from bordereaux, often trapped in inconsistent spreadsheets from various wholesalers and brokers.

Decode transforms this complex, often manual process into a streamlined, powerful data management and analysis platform. Our goal is to empower you to understand your data better, make informed decisions faster, and ultimately improve your business outcomes, without needing deep technical expertise.

Who is Decode For?​

Decode is built for:

  • Underwriting Firms (MGAs/MGUs): Gain clear insights into portfolio performance, track premiums accurately, manage claims data effectively, and make data-driven underwriting decisions.
  • Wholesale Brokers: Aggregate broker data efficiently, ensure data quality before forwarding to underwriters, and get a better handle on your book of business.
  • Insurance Startups: Establish robust data practices from the beginning, avoiding the pitfalls of manual spreadsheet management as you scale.

If you spend significant time cleaning, verifying, and trying to make sense of insurance data arriving in spreadsheets, Decode is designed to help.

Core Concepts at a Glance​

As you explore Decode, you'll encounter a few key components:

  • Tables: Think of these as your central, organized databases. You define their structure once (including static, metadata, and dynamic columns), and Decode stores all your cleaned spreadsheet data here, adding new information over time (like monthly updates).
  • Metadata: These are like smart labels or tags (e.g., 'Wholesaler Name', 'Contract ID') you define and can attach to your data uploads. They help you organize, filter, and add context beyond what's in the original spreadsheets.
  • Data Profiles: Time-saving templates that pre-fill metadata tags for specific, recurring types of uploads (e.g., all uploads for a particular contract).
  • Data Functions: Reusable analysis pipelines you build using a simple flowchart interface. They let you ask complex questions of your data (like calculating profitability per region) using AI assistance for logic creation and run the analysis repeatedly with different parameters.
  • Views: Customizable dashboards where you can arrange and run your Data Functions side-by-side to gain comprehensive insights and compare results easily.
