Data-driven revenue protection for agribusiness.

Vane set out to build a new class of insurance: revenue protection for the agribusinesses that supply farmers and ranchers when weather takes a crop. We built the go-to-market SaaS platform that prices that risk in real time.

The project

A new insurance product with no platform to run it.

Farmers and ranchers carry federal crop insurance against weather-driven loss. The agribusinesses that sell them seed, inputs and services do not: if a client cannot plant, or loses the crop mid-season, that revenue is simply gone. Vane designed revenue insurance to close that gap for corn, soybeans, wheat and other crops.

Turning the idea into a product meant combining extensive agricultural data sources with Vane’s proprietary rating system to produce comprehensive risk analysis and data-driven premiums, and delivering it through a platform agribusinesses could use without a broker in the room.

Vane brought the underwriting expertise. We brought the software, cloud and go-to-market engineering to get it to market first.

Challenges

Precision, simplicity and volume at once.

Precision premium calculations

Premiums had to be computed dynamically and in real time from crop type, location, historical loss data, coverage levels and comprehensive field-exposure analysis.

An intuitive onboarding experience

Agribusiness users needed a simple, step-by-step process with immediate feedback, not an actuarial worksheet.

Scalable batch processing

Vane administrators needed to upload and process large datasets to manage policies for high-volume operations.

What we did

A cloud SaaS built for underwriting and for the user.

We built a modern, cloud-deployed SaaS platform with an intuitive interface, real-time data analysis and robust backend processing, supporting both underwriting decisions and solution pricing.

Step-by-step insurance selection

A React-based front end walks users through crop type, acreage and location, then presents coverage options and risk levels instantly.

Interactive premium calculator

Deductible selection and real-time premium adjustment, so users see the cost of each decision as they make it.

Risk visualization

Simple risk indicators from low to extreme, loss-scenario simulations and county-specific coverage adjustments.

Cloud deployment and management

Modern cloud infrastructure, deployed and managed for long-term growth, with batch upload and automated risk calculation for large-scale operations.

Outcomes

First to market, built to grow.

Reduced complexity

Agribusinesses receive real-time, precision insurance quotes with ease.

Faster processing

Batch uploads and automated risk calculations increase efficiency for large-scale operations.

Better decisions

Data-driven insights help agribusinesses mitigate financial risk.

Scalability and security

Built on modern cloud infrastructure for long-term growth.
