The Schemes Platform
for Brokers.

Today, brokers running schemes do it on a PAS that wasn’t built for the job, on spreadsheets that don’t scale, or on expensive standalone software that locks you in.

Outrun gives you a new option. A purpose-built schemes platform, running alongside your main PAS, using the industry’s rating engine. You’re not locked in - and the products you build are yours, so you can launch and grow schemes at your own pace.

Foundations

We use the rating engine the UK insurance industry owns and trusts.

For rating and rules, we use Polaris ProductWriter, fully integrated with Outrun - and the most powerful rating engine in the UK insurance market. Capable of handling any product complexity, it’s industry-owned, industry-trusted, and used by the UK’s biggest insurers.

Your schemes are built on the industry’s standard, not a vendor’s proprietary system, which means the schemes you build are genuinely, permanently yours. The product build expertise sits across the industry, not locked in one software house. Because the industry funds and develops ProductWriter together, it evolves with the market.

Freedom

Run your business on your terms. Get real control of your platform.

Whoever controls your rating engine, your build process, or your distribution ends up controlling your build costs and your launch speed. With Outrun, that control is yours.

We can build your products for you, you can build them yourself, or bring in third party resource - the choice is yours.

Your team can update question sets, documents, referral and endorsement libraries and pricing rules directly. You retain as much control as you want over scheme build and the day-to-day running of your schemes and processes.

Experience

Operational insurance experience, built into the platform.

The Outrun team has spent decades in specialist insurance operations - building schemes, handling binder updates, managing bordereaux.

We often hear: “Normally software providers build it and when it’s not right they blame the spec.”

We know where to focus our attention. On scheme builds for example, we review the underwriting guide in detail. That can surface gaps where the question set wouldn’t capture all the required risk data, or missing rating logic. Our experience means detail doesn’t get missed.
