Chestnut

Chestnut is a custom software development company. Purpose-made producer management and compensation system for insurance carriers and their distribution partners. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

The natural audience is companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Financial Services and Small and Medium Businesses, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Chestnut is based in Seattle, Washington. You can read more at chestnutfi.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.
