Connecting Agents & Carriers securely in the Cloud.
The Policy Issuance Dilemma
Whether you’re an insurance carrier or a general agency, the process of managing, distributing, completing, and publishing policy documents can be a tedious and time-consuming process to support and maintain. Obtaining and delivering form updates is largely a manual process, and very few standards of automation exist today to reduce keystrokes for the agent. Some carriers have rolled-out their own issuance platforms, but each company API is different causing headaches for producers wishing to integrate. Finally, mechanisms to push completed policy data back to the agency and carrier admin systems tend to be fragile with very little consistency in regard to data formatting and transport mechanisms. For most organizations whose lifeblood depends upon the production of policy documents, these issues persist.
Introducing AgencyGate
Recognizing the myriad of policy issuance challenges that continue to inhibit agencies and carriers from working efficiently together, we’ve leveraged our years of product development experience within the Surplus Lines insurance space to build AgencyGate with the primary objective of streamlining policy issuance workflows. As a SaaS offering powered by GhostDraft, AgencyGate addresses many of the historical problems that have plagued policy issuance workflows while delivering on a solution that revolutionizes how agents can work with carriers to produce insurance policy documents. Additionally, AgencyGate establishes a single API for integration regardless of which carrier library a producer is working with.
