Guidewire (San Mateo, Calif.) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire ProNavigator, a Canadian knowledge management platform designed specifically for the property/casualty insurance industry. The announcement was made during the Guidewire Connections conference in Las Vegas.

ProNavigator provides AI-powered, context-aware knowledge retrieval tools that deliver precise information directly into insurance workflows, according to a Guidewire statement. Currently used by 34 insurance organizations—including 12 that are also Guidewire customers—the platform helps improve productivity, reduce claim cycle times, personalize service, and accelerate onboarding.

“ProNavigator, inside of Guidewire, makes every insurance professional an expert,” comments Mike Rosenbaum, CEO, Guidewire. “It helps people work smarter, providing faster responses, clearer communication, and personalized guidance to create a more modern experience for their customers. We’re excited to welcome Joseph D’Souza and the ProNavigator team to Guidewire.”

Guidewire says it plans to integrate ProNavigator’s capabilities across its core platform, enhancing search and knowledge access for underwriters, adjusters, brokers, agents, and customer service representatives.

“By delivering role-specific insights in real time, we’re reshaping how insurance professionals access knowledge,” says Joseph D’Souza, CEO, ProNavigator. “Joining Guidewire enables us to extend our impact across the industry and empower even more insurance teams to work smarter and serve their customers better.”

ProNavigator’s flexible architecture supports both personal and commercial lines and is built to scale across claims, underwriting, and distribution functions, according to the Guidewire statement. The vendor describes the acquisition as a strategic step in delivering more intelligent, real-time assistance throughout the insurance value chain.

“Context-aware knowledge is the next frontier of intelligence for the P&C industry,” says Laura Drabik, Chief Evangelist, Guidewire. “Our acquisition of ProNavigator, a participant in Guidewire’s Insurtech Vanguards incubator program, strengthens our ability to deliver contextual knowledge that helps insurers work more efficiently and deliver a higher quality of customer service.”

The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of Guidewire’s fiscal year 2026, pending customary closing conditions.
