What is Fixurance ?
Grow your money and gain knowledge. With this main objective, the application is an attractive tool to estimate the insurance prices with minimum information for marketing purposes. It is specially designed for the mobile devices or tablet to support the mobility of sales representative in promoting insurance plans or as a stand alone application to the prospect customers. This application is designed to improve the usability and user-friendly.
Idea and Motivations
This document presents a project of Insurance Sales Tool that we called as Fixurance service in order to solve a business case with LTC-Otso in paving the future of customer management in paperless environment [1]. However, there are several challenges to achieve this goal. The challenges are: the difficulty to implement mobility in sales process, to support Partner Network Sales in any events and shopping malls and to create the more user-friendly and brief interactions with the prospect customers. The main idea of this tool is to: attract the customers as an attractive tool with the concept of “Grow your money and gain knowledge”, estimate the insurance prices with minimum information for marketing purposes, support the mobility of Sales Representatives in promoting Insurance plans; and support the prospect Customers to explore the tool as a standalone applications.
In brief, the business case is in needed of:
- Implement mobility in sales process.
- Support Partner Network sales in malls or events.
- User-friendly UI and brief interactions with the prospect customers.

Features Screen Shots
The application can provide a price for a home insurance asking for few data. The application is suitable for promoting due to its fast process to get the price and engage the client. The application can be installed in any Windows device, so the customers can use it as well.
Some screen shots of the application:
1. Main page.
2. House form to get a price estimation.
3. Price screen.
4. If the user agrees to be contacted later, he (or the sales representative) can fill in the form.
5. Confirmation page of the data.
6. Call me later! feature. The client can indicate what he is interested in and the data will be recorded. A salesman can use that information later.

Some future features and difficulties
- We did not manage to use the icons as radio buttons and check buttons due to lack of time.
- We did not manage to create the Loyalty program. This feature would consist on asking the ID to the customer and suggest him how to reduce the price of his insurance adding other ones.
- Facebook and Whatsapp share buttons.
- RFID reading.
- Create one new feature where the client/sales representative receive an accurate price depending on the client's necessities.
- Contracts can be digitally signedwith digital signature.
Prototype Design
Development
- Sharing codes by using GitHub
Testing
We have tested the application using the emulator provided by Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 and a tablet ASUS TF600T (http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_vivotab_rt_tf600t-5083.php) with Windows 8.1.
We did not do unitary test, just whole application testing.
