Inspire internal documentation
These pages explain Inspire, Nextera’s family of insurance core systems: what the
suite is, how a policy flows through it end to end, what each core replaces, and the
vocabulary the teams use. They are drawn from the repositories’ own documentation and
code — inspire-gi/docs, inspire-group/docs, the credit-life schema, the pension
legacy archive — not from marketing material, and they state build status honestly.
What Inspire is
Section titled “What Inspire is”An insurance core is the insurer-side system: the software that defines products,
quotes and underwrites risk, issues and services policies, pays claims, bills
premium, posts to the ledger and cedes to reinsurers. Nextera ran two live
insurance systems for years — nxo-dms (distribution management) and nxo-link
(life e-submission) — but had no core. Inspire closes that gap.
Inspire is one platform, five cores, one per line of business:
- Inspire GI — general (non-life) insurance
- Inspire Group — group life, medical and dental
- Inspire Credit Life — loan-protection insurance tied to credit portfolios
- Inspire Pension — retirement and pension administration
- Inspire Individual — individual life (planned; no repository exists yet)
The front door is the launcher at inspire.nextera.id — four full-bleed rows, one
per product, plus /widget/apps/, the app-switcher every Inspire app embeds in its
own header. Adding a product to the launcher is an edit to src/data/products.ts in
the inspire repository and nothing else.
The five cores and where they stand
Section titled “The five cores and where they stand”| Core | Repository | Administers | Replaces | Where it stands |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GI | inspire-gi |
Non-life policies: motor, property, personal accident, micro-insurance | Nothing — a deliberate greenfield (ADR 0003) | Furthest along. Product factory, underwriting, policy, billing, ledger and claims built; reinsurance block done; UI CRUD phase open. Track in docs/13-build-tracker.md |
| Group | inspire-group |
Group contracts: master policies, member enrollment, sponsor billing, group claims | AIA’s Compass 2000 | Specs complete, code starting. 24 target modules specified; the implementation loop is early. Track in docs/05-tasks-checklist.md |
| Credit Life | inspire-cl |
Certificates insuring loan repayments, in bulk, per creditor partner | iCLIPS | In build. Client, policy, certificate, underwriting, claim, surrender and billing modules are landing in both API and web; the repo README lags behind the code |
| Pension | inspire-pension |
Pension plans, contributions, invested funds, vesting, retirement | Avrist’s RPAS | Legacy archive only. legacy/ holds the RPAS database dump and tooling; no modern code yet |
| Individual | — | Individual life policies | — | Planned. The launcher already carries its brand assets, but there is no repository yet |
All four existing apps resolve in DNS and the launcher marks them live, but that
reflects hosting, not feature completeness. The trackers named above are the honest
record; treat the table above as a snapshot of late August 2026.
One platform, five products
Section titled “One platform, five products”The coded cores share one stack and one solution shape, so skills transfer between them:
| Layer | What it is |
|---|---|
| API | .NET 10, EF Core 10 on SQL Server, Serilog, Stimulsoft + Puppeteer reports, kebab-case api/v1 routes. JWT RS256 — the API refuses to start without a mounted keypair |
| Solution | Inspire.Api / Inspire.Core / Inspire.Infrastructure / Inspire.Model; GI adds Inspire.Domain and Inspire.Tests |
| Web | Angular 22 + Angular Material + @nextera/ui (the nxe- component library, from the local projects/nxe-ui) |
| Database | SQL Server on db.tigana.co.id (nxgi for GI, nxi-cl for credit life). No EF migrations — hand-applied idempotent T-SQL in sql/ or db/ |
| Platform plumbing | SecureController (auth), CoreController (code tables, documents, approvals, queues, uploads), tcode / tobject / tnumber / tproperty reference tables, and the HTTPResponse envelope with its numeric ReturnCode |
| Operations | Images to registry.tigana.co.id, Helm charts in nexteradigital/argocd, ArgoCD sync on push to main. The database connection string lives in a gitignored ccs file next to the binary |
The lineage matters when reading the code. inspire-group was reskinned from
orbit-dms-api (the Orbit DMS distribution system). inspire-cl is a literal fork
of inspire-group and shares its schema. inspire-gi is an independent, clean
build — but it kept its working names from before the suite was branded: database
nxgi, response-code prefix NXGI-#### (ADR 0007).
GI is also built to a different philosophy from the other cores: configuration over code, on the design goal that launching a new insurance product must not require a schema change or a deployment. See Key concepts for the product-tree mechanism.
