One contact number when karma happens.
Last, +Simple has the authority to approve claims within its jurisdiction. In other words, clients can contact the agency and in certain cases see their claims be resolved in no time.
B2B2C + D2C Distribution Strategy.
+Simple works mainly with partners such as brokers, chartered accountants and banks that look for an efficient way to target the low-end segment of small business. In these instances, +Simple offers a co-branded platform. In addition, +Simple attracts customers directly via its website.
