In this edition of our series on the Israeli Insurtech delegation heading to ITC Vegas in October 2024, we’re excited to showcase the forward-thinking companies transforming the insurance industry. This time, we turn our spotlight to Docomotion, exploring their journey, challenges, and groundbreaking technologies through detailed interviews.
Company Overview
Founded in 2015, Docomotion is a cutting-edge document generation application on Salesforce. Our mission is to provide intuitive and efficient tools for designing and generating complex documents, allowing organizations to automate document-related processes and significantly enhance their business efficiency.

Market and Problem-Solving
Who are your target customers, and how do you reach them?
Our target customers are insurance companies, brokers, MGAs, and coverholders who depend heavily on complex documents and need to adapt to Lloyd’s Blueprint Two strategy. We reach them through industry events, partnerships, and targeted marketing campaigns.
What specific problem are you addressing in the insurance industry?
Docomotion addresses several key challenges in the insurance industry. Here are two important challenges:
- Eliminating the burden of managing hundreds of templates: Our solution empowers users to build smart, logic-driven templates. Customers can create versatile, multi-purpose templates by incorporating conditional logic and dynamic elements directly into the template design. This approach significantly reduces the total number of templates required, simplifying template management and usage.
- Overcoming the complexity of clause management and customization: Insurance documents often require numerous clauses that need to be tailored for each client. Manually managing and customizing these clauses is time-consuming and error-prone. Docomotion solves this by allowing users to create dynamic, customized clauses within our templates. These clauses can automatically incorporate client data and display information based on specific business logic. This ensures that every document is precisely tailored to meet unique needs without the tedious manual work traditionally required.
By addressing these challenges, Docomotion significantly improves efficiency and accuracy in document management for insurance professionals.
Business Challenges and Solutions
What are the main challenges you have faced so far? And how have you overcome these challenges?
