Our story

Insurance moved online. We gave carriers back the room to read.

Insurance used to be sold across a table, where an agent could see confidence and confusion. As buying moved to screens, carriers lost those cues just as they needed to decide faster. ForMotiv started in 2018 to measure how people behave in digital insurance journeys, in real time, and has followed the customer into every workflow and channel since.

Year by year, the problems carriers brought us and the use cases we built for them. Each one runs on the same behavioral data.
