Willis, the WTW-owned broking business, has partnered with embedded insurance infrastructure firm Kayna and construction workforce platform Kwant to launch KwantSure, a digital insurance programme integrated into Kwant’s workforce management platform.
The programme targets a recurring challenge in construction, subcontractors needing to secure required insurance coverage to remain compliant on projects.
KwantSure embeds insurance procurement into the same platform general contractors use to manage workforce operations and track certificates of insurance (COI), allowing subcontractors to request quotes and bind policies without moving between separate systems. Available coverages include General Liability, Professional Liability, Cyber, Business Owner’s Policy and pay-as-you-go Workers’ Compensation.
The partnership combines three elements across the insurance and construction technology stack. Kwant provides its workforce and compliance platform, which supports 160,000 workers across the United States and gives contractors visibility into subcontractor insurance status through integrated COI tracking. Kayna provides the embedded insurance technology connecting insurance procurement with the platform workflow, while Willis contributes broking expertise through tailored insurance solutions for subcontractors.
For general contractors, the integration is designed to improve visibility over insurance compliance across projects, while subcontractors gain a more direct route to obtaining the coverage required for their work.
Kwant operates an AI-powered workforce operating system for construction and industrial sites, combining data from smart wearables with operational insights to provide predictive analytics and automated alerts. The company said its platform has been deployed across major projects involving more than 160,000 workers and has tracked more than 45 million hours to date.
Kayna provides embedded insurance distribution technology for vertical SaaS platforms, connecting software providers with carriers, MGAs and brokers. Its platform supports insurance procurement and risk management workflows by analysing platform data, identifying coverage gaps and enabling insurance journeys within existing software environments.
Kwant CEO and co-founder Niran Shrestha said, “By combining Kwant’s project intelligence with Willis’ broking expertise and Kayna’s technology, we’re making insurance faster, simpler and more accessible for contractors. Contractors can secure coverage in minutes while staying compliant through proactive alerts and real-time monitoring. Together, we’re helping reduce risk across complex projects and laying the foundation for a broader suite of digital insurance solutions.”
Kayna CEO Paul Prendergast also commented, “Kwant is helping subcontractors to close the compliance gap and mitigate the risk of underinsurance in real time. This is how a vertical SaaS platform can elevate business practices, solve problems and provide real value for its customers.
“KwantSure provides a data-led, end-to-end insurance solution, designed specifically to support the needs of Kwant customers as they position their businesses for continuity and sustained growth. I’m delighted that our work together has resulted in such a powerful tool for a trusted platform that is driving change in construction, making it safer, smarter and more efficient,” he said.
