Brokers to benefit from faster, more efficient quoting and policy issuance
Waterloo, ON (June 11, 2018) – Insurance brokers and their clients will enjoy accurate real-time quotes and faster, more efficient new business submission and policy issuance with a software integration project from Economical Insurance and Custom Software Solutions Inc. (CSSI). The real-time data exchange project will integrate Economical’s Vyne™ offering with CSSI’s vendor rating software IntelliQuote (IQ) and broker management system The Broker’s Workstation (TBW).
“We share Economical’s commitment to improving the broker channel through technological innovation,” said Scott Andrew, CEO of CSSI. “This new real-time connectivity, which adheres to CSIO standards, enables our CSSI brokers to provide a better quoting experience and faster new business policy turnaround for their customers.”
“Incorporating CSSI software into our Vyne offering has allowed Economical to deliver an enhanced experience to our broker partners,” said Alice Keung, SVP and Chief Transformation Officer, Economical Insurance. “This real-time data exchange provides a streamlined workflow that allows both Economical and brokers to deliver faster and better service for our customers.”
Shifting customer expectations means brokers increasingly need new tools. Economical and CSSI recognize the opportunity to improve the quoting and policy issuance process by implementing new technology. The integration project will enhance broker quoting capabilities for new business in personal auto, personal property, and individually rated commercial auto (IRCA). Immediate benefits to the broker are improved rating accuracy, real-time rate updates, and rate maintenance efficiencies. A quote can quickly be turned into a new business submission in one customer interaction. If no underwriter intervention is required, a policy will be issued in real-time and an eDoc download will be available within minutes.
IntelliQuote and TBW integrated rating and new business issuance with Vyne will roll out regionally beginning June 2018.
