Workflow

It is the reinsurance software system managing  any Life and Non-Life outward, inward and retrocession obligatory and facultative reinsurance and retrocession agreement (QS, Surplus, XoL, SL) working on any basis (AY, OY, UY, RA), capable to automatically calculate any reinsurance clause (f.i.: interlocking clause, loss participation, loss corridor, profit commission, overriding commission,  reinstatements, reinstatement premiums, aggregate deductible, index clause, S.I.C.) and to automatically generate technical and financial accounts, claim notices, cash claims, bordereaux, bulletins, loss history (major losses), statistics, risk profiles, QRT, etc.

Moreover, it is complete with document manager and workflow, easily auditable by internal and external auditors, fully compliant with Solvency II/EIOPA regulation and IFRS17

In short, it is a truly complete and cutting-edge solution, as well as the most advanced of the Ruschlikon Initiative for reinsurance

The projects actually carried out show that already at the time of implementation XLayers automatically completes on average 96% of the reinsurance calculations a new Client requires

An ecosystem that enables end-to-end management of all inward and outward reinsurance processes as well as managing every aspect of cessions and retrocessions, from technical to administrative and reporting. Designed for Insurance companies and Groups, it is multi-currency and manages proportional and non-proportional, obligatory and facultative reinsurance.

It allows Clients to set reinsurance rules for homogeneous risk groups and automatically aggregates information from the technical account of treaties and facultative reinsurance, even when coming from external sources (e.g. MS Excel). Equipped with a sophisticated analytic tool to filter and extract granular information.

Simple, intuitive, fully integrated and consolidated with the Client’s systems, easily fed with data from policy administration systems at the level of detail required by or needed by the Client.

More than 60 successful installations in Insurance companies and Groups operating in the EMEA market and C Consulting’s 20 years of experience in system implementation and Client dedication testify to its effectiveness and wide functional coverage.

XLayers signifies a paradigm shift

from the limits of aggregate data to granularity

Allows reinsurance to be attributed to any technical item (product, line of business, risk, guarantee, etc.).

With very short processing times, it simplifies reinsurance management aspects and drastically reduces the chances of error.

Clients can spend more time studying and negotiating optimised reinsurance without wasting time on exhausting complex data checks. They can count on a reliable support for new accounting issues, e.g. IFSR17.

A structured and flexible operating model.
