BMS Group Selects mea Platform’s AI Products to Advance Placement Efficiency Through Digital Broking Operations
BMS Group is adopting mea Platform's AI products to streamline placement and accelerate digital broking operations across the firm. The move positions BMS to deliver faster, more accurate outcomes for clients while reducing friction in the placement lifecycle.
Bermuda – April 29, 2026 — mea Platform, the fast-scaling (re)insurance AI product company, today announced that BMS Group, a leading independent global (re)insurance broker, has selected mea’s Broking Operations products to enhance placement efficiency and strengthen market leadership through digital transformation.
BMS is known for its specialist expertise, entrepreneurial culture, and strong global market presence across insurance, reinsurance, and capital solutions. As market complexity and data volumes continue to increase, BMS is adopting mea’s AI products to modernize core broking workflows and accelerate how risk is placed in global markets.
In 2025, mea launched its mea Operations suite, including Broking Operations, which is powered by mea’s unique proprietary insurance language model and Insurance Industry Knowledge Graph, designed to automate enquiry intake, data ingestion, document processing, market submissions, and digital placement. Through this collaboration, BMS will deploy mea’s AI across placement workflows to improve speed, consistency, and execution quality while supporting brokers with real-time operational intelligence.
“Placement efficiency is a defining advantage for leading brokers in today’s market,” said Martin Henley, CEO of mea Platform. “BMS’s selection of mea reflects a clear focus on using AI to strengthen how business gets done day to day—improving placement outcomes, supporting brokers at the point of execution, and driving digital leadership without disrupting existing systems. Applying our knowledge graph, built on $400bn of transactions, gives BMS an even greater edge in a market that rewards speed.”
