Project summary

TopFlight partnered with Domestic & General (D&G) to accelerate experimentation across its insurance, claims and partner journeys. Working alongside its internal teams, we helped establish a scalable delivery model supporting more than five A/B tests per month, combining rapid development with stronger engineering practices.

The problem

The problem

D&G had opportunities to improve customer journeys, but low test velocity and significant development overhead made it difficult to validate ideas quickly. The business needed a more effective way to turn those opportunities into live experiments and measurable improvements.

The challenge

The challenge

Experiments had to work within complex enterprise platforms, across multiple products and stakeholders. D&G needed to move faster while maintaining reliable deployments and protecting the customer experience, including when testing more ambitious ideas such as AI-powered diagnostics.

The services

The services

TopFlight provided specialist engineering support embedded directly into D&G’s teams. We built A/B tests using Optimizely and feature flags, developed redesigned upsell experiences, clearer protection benefits and registration-flow experiments, and implemented Smart-Fix experiences that introduced diagnostic support before repair bookings. Alongside delivery, we strengthened development practices and helped D&G build its own experimentation capability, so our developers became a trusted extension of the internal team.

The result

A four-year partnership delivering substantial conversion and revenue gains across core insurance journeys. TopFlight combined rapid engineering delivery with the Optimizely feature platform to launch experiments, validate improvements and roll out successful changes. The partnership also extended into AI innovation through Smartfix.

Testimonial

"Their contribution has been instrumental"

TopFlight have been a fantastic partner in scaling our experimentation efforts at D&G. Their developers quickly became a trusted extension of our team, delivering high-quality A/B tests at speed and introducing engineering practices that enabled us to bring test development in-house.

They balanced speed with innovation, pushing the boundaries of what we test and helping us unlock meaningful wins across core journeys. Their contribution has been instrumental in strengthening our test-and-learn culture and technical capability.
