Get a head start on your build with Root’s product templates

We strive to empower software developers to build insurance products quickly and without constraints. Innovation is about more than generating new ideas, it’s about executing on an idea, getting to market fast, and iterating based on customer feedback.

This is what Root’s Workbench is all about, giving control to software developers to get their team’s insurance product to market easily without compromising on the features that sets them apart.

With Root’s new API-ready insurance product starter templates, developers can hit the ground running faster than ever.

New product starter templates

Product templates are designed ready to be launched and include comprehensive product logic and key benefits out of the box. Using Root’s low-code Workbench tools you can customise product templates to match your unique product requirements with minimal development effort.

All product templates come with Root’s familiar insurance APIs and are pre-configured for Root Embed, allowing you to test and sell your products through digital channels in days.

These are the product templates available on Root today:
