Westminster, CO – April 29, 2026 – Today, Heffernan Insurance Brokers, a leading full- service insurance brokerage, and Novara, a modern safety & operational risk management provider, announced an expansion of their partnership to provide clients with access to Novara Flex. This next phase of the relationship enables Heffernan to further support clients with more advanced safety and risk management needs beyond Novara’s Risk Management Center.
Heffernan Insurance currently provides clients with access to Novara’s Risk Management Center (RMC), a foundational platform that helps organizations manage risk, improve compliance, and streamline key workflows. With the addition of Flex, Heffernan can now act as a strategic advisor, referring clients to a more robust, configurable solution as their needs evolve.
Heffernan Insurance will refer clients to Novara Flex when they require a more configurable, mobile-first platform to manage safety, compliance, and operational risk. Flex is designed for organizations with more complex operations, offering configurable workflows, mobile capabilities for field teams, incident and claims management, advanced reporting, and real-time operational insights.
Additionally, Flex enables organizations to scale their safety programs, automate processes, and gain deeper visibility into risk performance across distributed teams. This configurability ensures that as clients grow or face increasing regulatory and operational complexity, they have access to a solution that can grow with them.
“This expanded partnership allows Heffernan to deliver even greater value to their clients by connecting them with the right solution at the right stage of their risk management journey,” said Rob Stansbury, Vice President of Partnerships at Novara. “We’re excited to support Heffernan as they continue to serve as a trusted advisor, helping clients evolve from foundational tools like RMC to more advanced capabilities with Flex.”
“Our clients rely on us to help them navigate risk as their businesses grow and change,” said Lisa Scott, Senior Vice President/Consulting Practice Leader at Heffernan Insurance. “By expanding our partnership with Novara to include Flex, we’re able to guide clients toward a more powerful, flexible solution when their needs go beyond what a foundational platform can provide.”
Novara partners with organizations committed to improving safety and reducing risk. Heffernan Insurance plays a key role in Novara’s ecosystem by helping clients adopt the right solutions at each stage of their risk management maturity.
