Our story

From Turnkey Africa to Caava Group.

Over 25 years of deep-rooted experience across Africa’s insurance landscape.

With over 25 years of deep-rooted experience across Africa’s insurance landscape, we began our journey as Turnkey Africa in 1997, building some of the continent’s first end-to-end insurance solutions.

From launching TurnQuest Medical and Non-Life systems, to pioneering cloud-based insurance platforms and digital distribution networks, our technology has supported over 60 insurers across 10 African countries.

Today, as Caava Group, we bring together a powerful ecosystem of products — Caava Evolve, Caava AI, Agencify, and the enduring legacy of TurnQuest — to empower insurers with intelligent automation, scalable solutions, and modern user experiences.

From startups to large insurers, Caava Group helps clients streamline operations, improve service delivery, and unlock new growth through innovation.
