Overview
AVYST (formerly Wave Insurance Technologies, originally Wave Financial Partners) is an insurance technology company founded in 2005 that specializes in digital solutions to simplify insurance sales and distribution workflows. The company's core innovation is bidirectional integration of ACORD, carrier-specific, and agency-unique forms data for both personal and commercial lines -- a capability that was first-to-market when introduced. AVYST positions itself as a connectivity layer between agents, carriers, MGAs, and agency management systems, reducing the operational friction that burdens independent agents and their staff.
The company serves independent insurance agencies, general agents, IMO/FMOs, carriers, MGAs, and wholesalers across North America. By enabling single-entry data propagation across multiple form types and destinations, AVYST allows agents to focus on client relationships rather than manual data entry.
