Socotra is known as the most powerful billing and policy technology in the industry. Our platform has the industry’s most flexible, complete, coherent, open, and accessible data model, so that it can fully and accurately represent your business. It has the industry’s most robust cloud infrastructure with the highest published availability. It deploys in the least time, has the lowest maintenance costs, and connects most easily with AI and third-party software.
We match these industry-leading capabilities with an industry-leading set of user interfaces (UIs).
Insurers need very different things from core technology vs. UI technology, so Socotra has modularized and independently optimized both. In contrast, monolithic vendors sell core and UI technology that are difficult to separate and therefore not optimized for insurers’ needs.
Looking closer at some of the ways in which needs and optimal solutions for core and UI technology differ, examples include:
Socotra Offers a Full Spectrum of User Interfaces
Socotra’s Productized Interfaces
You need UIs to build, test, and run your business from day one. Socotra offers key productized interfaces out of the box and ready to use for proof of concepts, implementation, and go live. These receive weekly, zero-downtime upgrades like Socotra policy and billing cores, so that you can take advantage of new features and enhancements both in the UI and headless via API.
Socotra System Manager
Manage your Socotra business account, tenants, and users, including roles and permissions. Easily create, configure, and manage tenants based on geography or business needs.

Socotra Operations Workbench

From high-performance bulk queries to real-time event streams, Socotra feeds all kinds of data lakes and business analytics.
Socotra Underwriter Workbench (coming in 2025)
Socotra’s productized Underwriter Workbench is also available for customization. Insurers who like what it has to offer, but also have additional specialized requirements or data sources, can modify it to meet the unique demands of their businesses.
Socotra Agent Portal (coming in 2025)
Create a differentiated portal for agents to easily sell and service policies using Socotra’s UI SDK, which accelerate development timelines by providing commonly used capabilities like forms out-of-the-box.
Socotra Insured Portal (coming in 2025)
Insurers selling directly to consumers need unique interfaces tailored to their products and branding. Socotra offers a working reference implementation that insurers can use as a launchpad for their customer portal and modify as they wish.
Fully Custom Interfaces with Socotra
Your unique needs might defy any off-the-shelf UI. Because Socotra is built to operate headless, insurers have unlimited power to craft any interface they wish. Socotra’s open APIs and documentation make it easy for you and your system integrator partners to connect your existing portals to Socotra or build net new.
Legacy UI
If you already have a UI, you can connect to Socotra using Socotra’s APIs. You can also use the Socotra UI SDK to embed pre-made Socotra components that dynamically update to reflect product definitions.
New Custom UI
In addition to offering pre-built UIs, Socotra provides the ultimate flexibility for customers who want the ability to create an entirely custom interface. Build entirely from scratch, or use the UI SDK to accelerate your development using pre-made Socotra components.
Low-Code / No-Code Custom UI
Build any UI you want using the power, ease, and flexibility of low-code and no-code UI tools. Socotra partners with the best of breed.
No UI
Because all Socotra’s APIs are open, some insurers use it with no user interface at all! Socotra connects easily to aggregators, affinity/distribution partners, automations, and AI.
