Nashville, TN – Davies, the leading specialist professional services and technology business serving insurance and highly regulated markets, today announced the acquisition of Quick Internet Software Solutions, Inc. (known as ClaimPilot), the leading provider of claims management software spanning Property, Liability, Workers’ Compensation and Auto claims for Third Party Administrators (TPAs), Independent Adjusters & Self-Insured Entities.
Based in College Station, Texas, ClaimPilot’s web-based Software as a Service (SaaS) platform enhances claim visibility through personalized claims tracking and reporting solutions, providing access to complete, accurate and real-time data. The platform can be integrated with insurers’ systems for electronic data exchange, and through ClaimPilot’s Lloyd’s reporting capability, users can report specific data on risks and claims transacted under contracts with syndicates. Bordereau reports showing a probabilistic view of future exposure and projected pay-outs on losses can also be generated through the system to help insurers determine potential premium adjustments and identify trends.
ClaimPilot will join Davies’ global Technology unit. President & CEO David Quick will continue to lead the business, reporting to Davies’ Senior Vice President of Technology, Jason Wolfe, and all ClaimPilot employees will continue in their roles with Davies.
Over the past year, Davies has expanded its range of specialist solutions for the Lloyd’s and London market. In April 2022, the firm accelerated into the regulatory technology (“RegTech”) market through the acquisition of Worksmart, the leading platform for complaints management and feedback at Lloyd’s that is fully aligned to Lloyd’s’ complaints reporting requirements. In July 2022, Davies broadened its offering to include end-to-end insurance management solutions to entrepreneurial underwriters and MGAs, intermediaries, (re)insurers and captives, Lloyd’s syndicates, and InsurTechs through the acquisition of Asta, the market-leading third-party managing agent at Lloyd’s, following approval by regulators.
In recent years, Davies has established and expanded its operations in the U.S. through a combination of strong organic and M&A growth, with the firm now offering a full range of TPA and loss adjusting solutions across all 50 states, as well as captive management, auditing, actuarial, subrogation, excess claims management and risk and inspection solutions.
Globally, Davies’ 6,500+ colleagues operate across Bermuda, Canada, India, Ireland, Spain, Switzerland, the UK and U.S. The business delivers professional services and technology solutions across the risk and insurance value chain, including excellence in claims, underwriting, distribution, regulation, customer experience, human capital, digital transformation, and change management.
Davies’ digital transformation program has successfully launched a range of technology-led solutions to support insurance and highly regulated markets, including the use of video, drones, robotics and a “disruptive thinking” innovation lab that places the power of new ideas in the hands of its people.

As one of the early creators of web-based claims management software in the U.S., and a long-standing advocate for digitization within the insurance industry, ClaimPilot will strengthen both the solutions and experience we can offer our insurance clients globally.”
David Quick, President & CEO, ClaimPilot added: “I’m really pleased that ClaimPilot is joining Davies.
