BillingCenter 3.0 brings enhanced billing and payment flexibility for all P&C lines of business
SAN MATEO, CA, March 10, 2010 – Guidewire Software®, a leading provider of flexible core systems to property/casualty insurers, today announced the availability of Guidewire BillingCenter® 3.0, the latest version of its comprehensive billing system for all lines of property/casualty insurance. BillingCenter is currently in production or in implementation at 22 insurers in several countries.
BillingCenter 3.0 offers:
- Flexible billing options, including: direct, agency, account current, group, list, mortgagee, and collection agency billing � all in one platform for all commercial and personal lines of business;
- Policy-level to account-level bill transitioning for improved customer service and reduced operating costs; and
- Improved producer satisfaction with detailed commission and multi-agency bill statements.
Other key enhancements include: charge groups for more control over the management of individual charges on a policy, ad hoc credits which allow the easy posting of a credit to an insured or other party�s account, and multi-payer/multi-location billing offers increased flexibility to insureds looking to divide premium due on their account across multiple payers.
While the industry has traditionally viewed billing as a back-office function, Guidewire BillingCenter enables insurers to move billing front and center; transforming the way insurers bill their policyholders with new levels of billing flexibility, visibility, and functional depth.
