HOLON, Israel, Feb. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sapiens International Corporation, (NASDAQ: SPNS) (TASE: SPNS), a leading global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, today announced that SA Taxi Protect, an independent financier for the minibus industry in South Africa, has gone live with Sapiens IDITSuite for Property & Casualty.

"We chose Sapiens as our technology partner to achieve these goals and to benefit from new digital capabilities, especially IDITSuite's fast launch and flexible pricing capabilities. The collaborative implementation process was completed on-time and within budget."

The implementation was completed within a year. Sapiens' head office in South Africa provided support throughout the project lifecycle and will continue to do so. 

"Partnering with SA Taxi to help protect a vital industry strengthens Sapiens' commitment to the region," said Roni Al-Dor, Sapiens' president and CEO. "Building solutions to meet the unique needs of our customers is always rewarding and we are confident that the adoption of Sapiens IDITSuite for Property & Casualty will maximize the positive impact SA Taxi has on the minibus industry."

Sapiens IDITSuite for Property & Casualty was carefully chosen for the quality of its offering and component-based, standalone software solution. IDITSuite will maximize support capabilities and streamline current processes, including policy issuing, taxi financing and insurance claims forms.
