Shyft.tt
Insurance Comparison Platform for the Caribbean Market
A configurable insurance marketplace that enables customers to compare quotes, purchase policies online, and submit claims while giving administrators complete control over pricing and business rules.
- Digital insurance comparison and purchasing
- Configurable pricing without developer involvement
- Faster rollout of new insurance products
About the
Client
Shyft.tt is one of Trinidad & Tobago’s leading digital insurance comparison platforms, helping consumers compare quotes from multiple insurers through a single online experience.
As the business expanded, the company needed a more flexible platform that could evolve quickly, support additional insurance products, and reduce dependence on developers for everyday operational changes.
Summary
Shyft approached Lionwood to replace its early MVP with a scalable platform capable of supporting future business growth. Beyond redesigning the customer experience, the project focused on making insurance products, pricing logic, eligibility rules, and claims configurable through an administrative interface, allowing the business to evolve without frequent software releases.

Challenge
The original MVP successfully validated the business concept but became increasingly difficult to maintain. Even relatively small changes to pricing formulas, insurance rules, or product offerings required developer involvement, slowing the company’s ability to respond to market opportunities and launch new services.
User challenges

- Limited administrative flexibility
- Growing product portfolio
- Mobile experience requiring modernization
Business challenges
- Faster product launches
- Lower maintenance costs
- Better customer conversion

Solution
The project began with a structured discovery phase to analyze both the existing platform and future business objectives. Lionwood then rebuilt the application around configurable business logic, allowing administrators to manage insurance products, pricing rules, customer journeys, and claims without software changes.
