Sales
The sales are the most affected area in the insurance world, so the solution to increase sales is increasing the use of insurance applications online. and why? Since customers now will not purchase insurance as usual.

Yous an Israeli InsurTech startup is automatically On demand App that thinking outside the box they allow insurance companies to continue to sell insurance at a lower level than usual, but still retain their customers with them and still manage to sell insurance.
