Thimble Selects WTW’s Radar Live to Deliver Smarter, Faster Commercial Lines Pricing

WTW (NASDAQ: WTW), a leading global advisory, broking, and solutions company, today announced that Thimble, a digital MGA and insurtech platform for small businesses, has selected Radar Live to modernize and scale its commercial lines pricing.

The implementation strengthens Thimble’s ability to deploy rates faster, respond to market changes in real time, and support rapid growth across its short‑term liability products. By combining WTW’s advanced price-delivery and decision-engine technology with Thimble’s market-leading short-term liability insurance offering, Radar Live delivers a more flexible, scalable pricing foundation. This enables smoother rate deployments, faster speed to market, and improved operational efficiency – critical advantages for fast‑growing MGAs.

WTW worked closely with Thimble to enhance its existing proprietary technology, constructing a sophisticated pricing engine with the stability to support rapid growth for the digital-first business. As a result of this collaboration, Thimble quickly achieved full self-sufficiency, with Radar Live enabling its pricing team to derive valuable insights from a wide range of data sources and machine learning models in real time, from a single platform.

Farah Ismail, Head of Commercial Lines, North America, Insurance Consulting and Technology, WTW, said: “Thimble is a best‑in‑class digital platform for small businesses, and we are pleased to support its growth with Radar Live. Our pricing technology enables faster responses to market change, real‑time risk assessment, and stronger governance – helping them improve margins while delivering better outcomes for customers.”

Ian Westerman, President at Thimble, said: “As a fast‑growing digital MGA, we need a pricing platform that could scale with our business. Radar Live from WTW provides the reliability, governance, and flexibility required to reduce the time and cost of rate implementation, improve speed to market, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for our customers.”

Ismail commented: “This collaboration continues our commitment to developing leading-edge software that is relevant, accessible, and affordable. As the sector undergoes massive digital disruption, small and large intermediaries continue to license Radar as they explore new technologies, in tandem with deep industry expertise, that enable their operations to migrate to connected, flexible, and agile systems to thrive in the digital age.”
