About PROFIDA

PROFIDA is a financial software suite for financial services and insurance firms that need tools for life and investments, short-term insurance, medical and health, funeral assurance, and composite operations. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Bellville, South Africa, the company describes PROFIDA as the first software platform built to serve both the life and non-life insurance sectors, and has grown the system to more than 500,000 lines of code on a Spring Framework-based architecture.
Key capabilities include:
- Policy, claims, and commission administration for life and non-life insurance operations, including specialist and niche insurance products.
- Portfolio management and financial planning features aimed at advisers and intermediaries, plus practice management support.
- Financial accounting and money collection to handle collections, disbursements, and financial reporting.
- Workflow, document management, and client communication including database segmentation, plus integrated email merge and SMS.
- Third-party integrations: the Professional Edition connects to Astute to download policy and investment data directly from providers such as Sanlam, Old Mutual, Liberty, Discovery, Momentum, Allan Gray, and Stanlib, plus broader connectivity to other systems via web services and SFTP-based data exchange, and API access for external integrations.
Available via a browser-based web/cloud interface on desktop and mobile browsers, and supports Windows, Apple Mac, and Linux. Users can access it from desktop computers, laptops, iPad, iPhone, and Android devices.
Target users include insurers, underwriting agencies, administrators, independent brokers, tied or bank brokers, broker networks, call centres, and financial planners.
It is notable in South Africa for supporting both life and non-life insurance within a single suite, offering multiple editions (Underwriting, Administrator, Professional) that can run out-of-the-box or be customised for specialist insurance and composite financial services operations, built and maintained by a small, specialised South African team.
