What Cogitate Technology Solutions does

Cogitate Technology Solutions is a privately held US insurance technology company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that builds and sells cloud-native software to the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry. Founded by Arvind Kaushal (CEO) and co-founded with Jacqueline M. Schaendorf (CEO of Southern General Insurance Co.), the company serves carriers, managing general agents (MGAs), and program administrators across personal, commercial, and specialty lines, with a US-focused market presence and an employee base of approximately 140+. Cogitate was recognized on the Inc. 5000 list of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies and as a Top 150 Insurtech Company by CNBC and Statista in 2024.

The company's core product is the DigitalEdge platform — a cloud-native, microservices-based system hosted on Microsoft Azure, organized into modular components including DigitalEdge Policy (submission, rating, quoting, binding, issuance), DigitalEdge Billing (customizable billing, payment plans, state-mandated fees), and DigitalEdge Claims (AI-enabled workflows, automated information exchange). The platform is augmented by add-on modules (Distribution Management, First Notice of Loss, DemandAssist), a low-code/no-code Configuration Hub for business-user rule changes, and Adaptive API technology for integrations. AI capabilities are concentrated in CAIRA, a digital coworker platform with embedded AI agents (Submission, Inspection Match, IVR FNOL) that assist underwriting and claims workflows under human oversight. CogitateLabs, a dedicated R&D unit, employs more than 20% of the workforce in AI and data science. The platform is pre-integrated with 60+ third-party data and solution providers and supports 70+ integrations.

Cogitate operates an enterprise SaaS revenue model with annual subscription pricing on a quote basis, supplemented by professional services for implementation. Modules can be purchased independently or in combination, and the sales motion is direct enterprise field sales targeting P&C insurance buyers, with a channel partner ecosystem of 60+ resellers and integrators. Operational scale signals include $5+ billion in premium quoted/bound, $3.3+ billion in billed premium, and $6.8+ billion in claims settled through the platform, alongside a claimed 99% customer retention rate, 100% referenceable customers, and 8-10 week implementation cycles versus an industry-standard 12-18 months.
