Services for Broker

Single Sign-On (SSO)​

EcoHub’s Single sign-on for brokers simplifies access to multiple platforms and portals. After a single strong authentication, users can seamlessly navigate across various portals without repeated logins. EcoHub acts as the Identity Provider (IdP), securely passing efficient login solutions for brokers to service providers.

What It Offers​

The SSO service includes all the necessary components for a secure broker login process. This includes managing login credentials via email, secure logout, and enhanced security through an OTP app (such as Microsoft or Google Authenticator). By utilizing single sign-on for brokers, EcoHub integrates OpenID Connect (OIDC), enabling users to follow a unified login process across insurer portals and marketplace applications.

Why Is It Needed

EcoHub’s single sign-on for brokers streamlines platform access, making it more efficient and user-friendly. Instead of managing multiple logins, users can access different portals with a single authentication, reducing login complexity for brokers. By using strong authentication methods like OpenID Connect, this SSO system not only enhances security but also promotes better collaboration in industries with numerous partners and platforms, such as the insurance sector.

Secure Data Exchange with the Standard API Framework (SAF)

EcoHub’s Standard API Framework (SAF) (formerly Data Exchange Proxy, DXP) provides reliable and secure data exchange for insurers and brokers, ensuring structured data transmission in line with market standards. This service improves workflows, enabling fast and secure communication between all involved parties.

What It Offers

The Standard API Framework (SAF) enables secure data exchange between brokers and insurers and ensures the seamless upload and download of files related to core processes. SAF offers a secure, event-driven architecture for encrypted data exchange. With this solution, brokers and insurers can exchange data asynchronously without the senders and recipients needing to be available at the same time. Data is exchanged on an event-driven basis in JSON format via Kafka or a REST proxy API, which significantly simplifies the integration. End-to-end encryption ensures that only senders and recipients have access to the content.

Why Is It Needed​

The SAF service (formerly DXP service) plays a central role in promoting structured data exchange in the industry. By acting as an intermediary for secure data exchange, EcoHub supports insurers and brokers in automating their operations. SAF provides a modern, flexible, and secure data exchange system that accelerates integrations and significantly enhances data security in insurance data exchange through API integration. Data access can be achieved either via broker software with SAF integration or through the EcoHub process tool. If you are not using SAF-compatible software, you can connect your customised software solution to EcoHub’s SAF service as part of an integration project.

EcoHub Processes​

With the EcoHub Processes application, you and your organisational units can handle data and information exchange with insurers efficiently and free of charge across all core processes. This solution enables you to receive information and documents, such as invoices or commission and brokerage statements, directly from insurers connected to our data exchange platform – quickly, easily, and conveniently.

What It Offers​

EcoHub Processes provides standardized data exchange for processes like invoicing, commission management, mandate administration and contract creation. Brokers can send and receive data from insurers, and XML files from non-connected insurers can be converted into readable PDF documents for brokers.

Why It Is Needed​

For brokers without DXP/SAF-compatible software, EcoHub Processes is a crucial step into the digital future. By electronically managing digital document exchange for brokers, it saves time and costs by reducing manual efforts, eliminating media disruptions, and accelerating workflows. This makes it an essential tool for brokers looking to optimize their operations.

Marketplace​

The EcoHub Marketplace is a central broker app marketplace offering a curated selection of third-party apps designed to simplify and enhance the day-to-day activities of brokers.

What It Offers​

On the EcoHub Marketplace, brokers gain access to a wide range of innovative tools for brokers that make daily tasks easier. The marketplace also offers exclusive quotation calculators for brokers and other tools specifically designed for brokers’ needs. These apps can be searched, selected, and reviewed based on individual requirements, with solutions available for direct purchase or upon request.

Why Is It Needed

The EcoHub Marketplace provides brokers with a convenient way to source high-quality, vetted apps that optimize their workflows. By providing tailored apps for insurance brokers, this central platform saves time and boosts daily work efficiency, helping brokers focus on their core business.
