dotSys operates a SaaS subscription revenue model through direct B2B enterprise sales, with no self-serve or freemium channels and no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market relies on case study content marketing, LinkedIn presence, and industry event participation such as Meet the Market 2024 at the RDS in Dublin. Notable customer outcomes attributed to the platform include over 50% reduction in claims frequencies via the telematics integration, call centre efficiency improvements from 4-5 phone calls to 16-20 online chats per hour, and online fulfilment rates of 100% for quotes, 95% for policy sales, and over 80% for mid-term adjustments for MCL Insuretech group brands.
