Quote, Application & Placement

Q: Can the automation handle multiple carriers at once?

Yes, the system logs into each carrier portal, enters client data once, and generates quotes from all selected carriers in parallel, eliminating the need for brokers to repeat manual entry.

Q: What happens if compliance checks find a problem?

The system flags discrepancies and routes them to the compliance officer for manual review; only clean applications proceed to carrier submission automatically.

Q: Does the automation work with our existing carrier portals?

The system integrates with standard carrier APIs and portals; custom integrations can be built for carriers that require direct system connections.

Q: How does the system handle documents that clients submit in different formats?

The automation extracts data from PDFs, images, and web forms, validates it against the application requirements, and stores everything in a centralized audit trail for compliance.

Cut the back-and-forth out of insurance placement by automating quote requests, application prep, and carrier binding confirmations.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Quote Request Receivedtrigger

Prospect submits quote request via email, web form, or phone. The automation is triggered when a new lead or renewal is logged.

2. Capture Client Data

Extracts client information from the request, web form, or email and populates a structured record. Missing fields are flagged for manual follow-up.

3. Generate Multi-Carrier Quotes

Automation connects to carrier APIs or portals and generates quotes for selected carriers based on client profile. Quotes are retrieved and formatted automatically.

4. Send Quote to Client

Formatted quote is sent to client with a personalized cover letter and a link to submit the application online.

5. Collect and Parse Application

When client submits application, documents are automatically captured, parsed, and stored. Key data fields are extracted and validated against the quote.

6. Run Compliance Checks

Performs AML/KYC verification, sanctions list checks, and regulatory compliance validation. Results are logged and flagged if issues are found.

7. Submit to Carrier

Verified application data is automatically submitted to the selected carrier's underwriting system via API or secure portal. Submission confirmation is logged.

8. Send Placement Confirmation

Once policy is approved and issued, confirmation email with policy details is sent to client and status is updated.
