Insurtech platform to upgrade premium, claims processing
One Inc was founded in 2012 by Christopher Ewing, who wanted to empower insurance companies with technology that places customers at the center of every transaction. Through the years, the company has created and implemented solutions designed to address the industry's most pressing challenges. In February 2020, One Inc was recapitalized by Great Hill Partners, a private equity firm that helped accelerate One Inc's growth. Later that year, Ian Drysdale, a Great Hills Partner executive with broad payments industry experience, became CEO and led the company's acquisition of Invenger Technologies, expanding reach from insurance premiums into claims payments.
Memorable milestones
Drysdale recalled that 2022 was a defining year for One Inc, beginning with the PremiumPay 2.0 launch in January. The low-code/no-code, brandable payment solution is designed to help insurers manage multichannel communication preferences and deliver proactive messaging at critical times In April 2022, One Inc rolled out Visa's Token ID to help insurance clients build, manage and control network tokenization capabilities, Drysdale noted, adding that tokenization can improve approval rates by as much as 2.5 percent. The October 2022 integration of One Inc's ClaimsPay with Hi Marley Insurance Cloud enabled One Inc customers to converse and transact with claimants using text messaging, which helped modernize the customer experience without requiring app downloads, Drysdale stated.

In the ever-changing insurance industry, One Inc strives to help clients stay nimble and competitive in the following ways:
