What Dyad does
Dyad is a U.S.-based insurance technology software provider serving the property and casualty insurance distribution value chain. Formed through the merger of XDimensional Technologies and I-Engineering, the company operates a portfolio of cloud-based platforms addressing retail agencies, agency networks, wholesalers, MGAs, program administrators, and carriers. Its core products are Nexsure, a cloud-native agency management system (AMS) for independent insurance agencies, and ALIS DX, an end-to-end management platform for MGAs, wholesalers, and program administrators covering the full policy lifecycle from submission intake through underwriting, rating, quoting, binding, issuance, endorsements, renewals, accounting, and claims.
The technology stack includes purpose-built insurance distribution modules: PUMAA for policy administration, ACE-HUB for multi-carrier data exchange connectivity, Spider for carrier integration via non-API paths, SkySource for business process outsourcing, and a Nexsure EAI public API plus Nexsure Data Warehouse for integrations and analytics. Recent AI investments include a natively embedded Email Triage Agent (intent-based email routing) and AI Extractor (ICR-based document data capture) inside ALIS DX, plus self-service configuration capabilities reducing implementation dependency. Strategic integrations with InsuredMine, Salesforce, Imperial PFS, and AndDone extend the platform into CRM, premium finance, and digital payments.
Dyad generates revenue primarily through subscription-based, quote-priced enterprise software contracts with annual billing, sold via a direct sales-led motion supported by demos and active presence at insurance industry events (WSIA, PIA, TMPAA, INSURCON, Insurtech Insights). The company is privately held with investment from Serent Capital, employs 251-500 people, and is headquartered in Brea, California with operations across the United States. Named customers span enterprise brokerages (Lockton, EPIC, Amynta Group) and mid-market agencies and MGAs (Jimcor, Worldlink Specialty, Lane & Associates, Holmes Murphy's IPS, Joseph Krar & Associates).
