Did you spend 2019 manually managing the book roll process with your agencies?
Now that it’s 2020, it’s time to consider bringing your book transfer process into the new year and the next decade with an automated solution that works for all your agency partners and allows you to identify new growth opportunities sooner.
An Outdated Method
It’s both timely and costly to visit each of your agency partners when managing your book roll process. Whether you’re reviewing paperwork and policy documents in person at agencies or having agents print and mail or transmit policies individually, these workflow steps are taking time away from the business of selling insurance and slowing your ability to make important decisions based on analysis of that data.
An additional concern is the different formats of data you receive from agencies. Do all of your agencies use the same agency management system? If not, paper versus digital documents, data fields organization and synchronizing management system terminology can lead to even longer delays as you collect, sort and collate all the disparate data into one uniform book of business for analysis.
The larger your business is and the number of agencies you support, the more you have invested in what has become an outdated method of managing book roll.
An Automated Solution
The answer to the increasingly complex problem of book roll management is an application that automates the exchange of information, one that enables you to receive and evaluate agencies’ books of business regularly in a unified, digital format.
The right solution manages the gathering, translation and delivery of policy data via an API call without requiring additional input from your agency partners. Key benefits of using an automated application include:
- Eliminating time spent manually processing files and visiting individual agencies to assess books of business
- Increasing data accuracy by eliminating re-keying and reducing turnaround time for analysis and quotes
- Diversifying your book of business and expanding agency relationships by evaluating and acquiring new segments of an agency’s business in a single process
