CDL is a 46-year-old insurance software vendor serving UK retail insurers with pricing, distribution, and telematics capabilities across web, mobile, and comparison channels. The tech stack (AWS, Java, Python, Angular, React, Docker, Kubernetes) reflects a mature cloud-native architecture, and active migration work signals a shift away from legacy on-premises deployments. Finance and planning pain points (FP&A, forecast accuracy, budget allocation) appear as acute internal challenges despite R&D investment running at 15% of turnover.
CDL develops software solutions for high-volume retail insurance operations in the United Kingdom. The platform, CDL Strata, supports multi-channel distribution including web, mobile, price-comparison integrations, self-service portals, and usage-based insurance products. The company employs over 600 people from Stockport headquarters and serves a customer base of UK insurance retailers and brokers. CDL has grown organically and invests significantly in R&D to track market evolution in insurance technology and telematics.
