Zap Consulting Reports Record Growth Driven by Insurance Carrier Partnerships and AI Innovation
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Zap Consulting, a national leader in intelligent claims assessment, today announced record-setting growth fueled by a wave of new insurance carrier partnerships and rapid adoption of its proprietary AI platform, Zap-Scan.

Zap-Scan, the first AI tool purpose-built for HVAC data extraction and analysis, enables adjusters to generate instant insights from images of HVAC data tags. Carriers are leveraging the tool to streamline both field and virtual inspections, replacing guesswork with fast, accurate, data-backed decisions. The platform has quickly gained traction for its intuitive design and measurable impact on claim cycle times.

Zap unveils new brand identity
Zap Africa, a Nigerian startup developing non-custodial crypto infrastructure, has unveiled a new brand identity and an updated version of its flagship product, Zap Exchange. The move reflects the company's efforts to strengthen its market position as user expectations, competition, and regulatory pressures reshape the African crypto landscape. Founded on the premise of decentralisation and user control, Zap offers infrastructure that enables individuals to swap, move, and spend digital assets without relying on custodial intermediaries. The newly launched Zap Exchange introduces improved speed, better interface, and personalised trading tools, all wrapped in a refreshed visual identity designed to reflect the company's maturity and growth ambitions. 'We realised the brand and product interface we launched with no longer represented the business we were becoming,' said Co-founder Tobi Asu-Johnson. 'With our expansion roadmap, we needed a brand that captures the innovation driving our next phase.' The product's new updates include token-specific trade history, saved wallet addresses, real-time price alerts, and faster logins—features that are increasingly critical for Nigeria's growing base of retail and semi-professional crypto users. The design overhaul is also strategic, aimed at boosting retention in a market where UX has become a key differentiator among digital finance products. Co-founder and CTO Moore Dagogo-Hart described the platform as a 'control room' for crypto management. 'We built it to make complex transactions feel effortless and intuitive,' he said. Notably, the rebrand comes amid a trademark dispute involving Paystack, a fintech giant owned by Stripe, which recently introduced a product with the same name, "Zap." While industry observers have speculated about the timing, the founders assert that the rebrand was initiated in April 2024, not in response to external developments. Nigeria remains a leading crypto hub in Africa, driven by mobile adoption, a young, digital-savvy population, and demand for financial alternatives. With a sharper identity and an upgraded platform, Zap is positioning itself as a long-term infrastructure player, betting on the widespread adoption of crypto.
