Its high-sophisticated design makes it possible that any insurance product within the domestic, commercial, corporate, engineering, agriculture, marine or speciality product insurance lines is supported.
The product design is entirely configurable which makes it easy to customise and configure your own policies and schemes. Add on products like Roadside Assistance, Top-Up Cover, Valued-Added-Products (legal, emergency, lifestyle ..), Credit Life cover can be accomodated as well.
Rating Engine
A number of rating options are available including automated rating, sum insured multiplied by a rate; pro rated to time or fixed, or a totally manual premium calculation. Backdated calculations or future premiums are considered as well.
Payment calculation is determined on the entire client base, or on scheme, or product or policy level for special circumstances or exceptions.
By default 20 address areas are setup, yet can be changed as required. Various additonal criteria like sum insured, group, gender, age, marital status, type of vehicle, claims experience, etc. are available as well. PROFIDA® supports also your own referral limits.
Premium Increase
PROFIDA® caters for two premium increase options which can be combined with a variety of filters.
Filtering by product, sections, group scheme, broker, date ranges, payment frequencies and other variables allow a fine tuning of policies affected by the premium increase.
A full history of all increases is kept within PROFIDA.
Amendments and Endorsements
Policies can be amended mid-term. PROFIDA® automatically calculates pro-rata premiums in the event of new business, amended or expired cover. Endorsements are centrally stored and conveniently selected from a list.
Policy Schedule
The policy schedule designer enables the production of schedules specific to each product and scheme displaying logos and signatures. Schedules are issued in Afrikaans and/or English.

Correspondence can be triggered to be automatically printed or emailed based on events like 'new business captured' (--> print/email: welcome letter) or 'policy cancelled' (--> print/email: confirmation letter)
Emails, including attachments, can be sent from and received within PROFIDA, making it the only financial software package worldwide with the ability to act as an email program. This keeps the correspondence with clients and insurers all in one place.
Client service level reports, in the form of tasks, to-do lists and calendars, are available to any user - allowing you to maximize your client service levels.
Document Management
Any supporting documentation (scanned or created) is linked to the client, policy or claim record, and is available to the user on-line, real-time. Attached documents are automatically included in the backup of PROFIDA®.
