Imagine heading to a critical business meeting, your Uber turns a corner and you run straight into a protest. Or perhaps you just happen to eat the wrong thing on your vacation. Now you’re stuck in your hotel room and the holiday you’ve been saving for is completely ruined. Many travellers have a horror story to share. In fact, every year more than 240 million travellers seek assistance when abroad. Yet mobile technology still fails to prevent these situations and there’s nothing to address them when they occur. Sitata provides worry-free travel. With Sitata, you will be notified about any type of travel disruption – events like a flight delay, violent protest, or even a simple transit strike. When things do go wrong, you are only a tap away from a telemedicine consultation or on-the-ground support, and soon Sitata will provide hassle-free travel insurance so you’re always covered the minute you step out your front door. Corporations use Sitata to fulfill their duty of care obligations and keep their employees safe, and vacationers keep Sitata in their pocket to ensure their holidays aren’t ruined.

With fewer and fewer pension plans, the security of guaranteed retirement income is disappearing. Micruity empowers employers to add pension-like insurance products to their company savings plan. The middleware created and administrated by Micruity acts as a clearing house for annuity transactions by standardizing and automating the execution of contracts, clearing of data, and settlement of assets. Micruity removes the hurdle of signing long-term commitments with record keepers and insurance companies, making for a more dynamic and competitive ecosystem of pension-like insurance products. When employers add guaranteed retirement income to their company savings plan, they enjoy a more productive workforce, extra leverage hiring and managing their workforce, and can better prepare their employees for retirement.
