More About Us

Zywave is a leading provider of software-as-a-service (SaaS) enterprise solutions to the insurance and financial services industries. Zywave’s leading technology solutions are used by more than 6,000 insurance and financial services firms around the world to differentiate from the competition, enhance client services, improve efficiencies and achieve organic growth.

Since 2007, the WorkCompEdge blog has focused on workers’ comp issues with a particular emphasis on the challenges and opportunities of experience rating on employers and the agents, brokers, and other insurance professionals who serve them. The blog is edited and frequently written by Kory Wells, Product Director of Broker Analytics at Zywave. Kory became involved with experience rating as one of the first programmers of ModMaster almost 20 years ago. A published author in both professional and creative genres, she’s also known as WorkCompEdge on Twitter, where she’s a frequent contributor to #workerscomp conversations.

ModMaster software, the nation’s leading workers compensation experience rating calculator and analysis tool, was originally developed by Specific Software Solutions and is now available in an all-new web-based version developed by Zywave.


Loss history significantly impacts the cost of workers compensation insurance, a concept many employers don’t fully understand. Experience rating mod analysis with ModMaster shows specifically how losses affect the mod and premium. ModMaster enables brokers, agents and other risk management professionals to add meaning to the mod and reveal cost-cutting opportunities and solutions in safety, injury management, hiring practices, return-to-work, and more.
