Canstar Cannex moves into software space
Research house Canstar Cannex is moving into the financial planning software space, combining with software provider Adviserlogic to launch a life risk research and premium comparison software program.
The software, AdviserInfo, will fill Adviserlogic’s life risk research requirements.
Canstar Cannex head of wealth management Stephen Mitchell said the data from users of Adviserlogic and the research provided by AdviserInfo would create more compliant and informative statements of advice. The new system has also eliminated the need to re-enter client data so that information can be easily transferred between the two systems.
The software was developed by financial planners.
Adviserlogic’s managing director Gundeep Sidhu said integrating with Canstar Cannex would improve the end process for financial planners.
