Cogitate Powers Bridge Specialty Group’s New Personal Lines Digital Marketplace

Bridge Specialty Group has started a personal lines digital marketplace built on insurance technology provider Cogitate’s DigitalEdge platform.

The digital platform is designed to streamline agent quoting, enhance underwriting efficiency, and support scalable expansion of carrier access. As one of the largest personal lines wholesalers in the U.S., Bridge Specialty Group is uniquely positioned to scale carrier access and simplify distribution for agents nationwide.

The new platform enables agents to complete one common application and receive eligibility and premium indications across participating carriers within a unified digital experience.

On DigitalEdge, the marketplace supports API-enabled carrier integrations and structured workflows for markets without direct APIs. This allows agents to see multiple carrier options side-by-side, and gain faster visibility into available markets. Underwriters benefit from structured workflows and improved submission quality.

Among its early carriers, Bridge Specialty worked with insurer Markel to make its excess & surplus homeowners product available in the marketplace.

At launch, the marketplace supports more than 18,000 users across 5,000 agencies, providing immediate scale across Bridge Specialty Group’s distribution network.
