In the insurance industry, reliance on outdated traditional rating platforms and Excel-based systems presents significant obstacles for insurers and MGAs. These challenges often manifest as limited data access, tedious maintenance, and inefficient distribution. SelectsysTech API-driven Rate, Quote, and Commit (RQB) platformHosted on Azure with auto-scaling capabilities, offers an innovative solution to these problems. By prioritizing comprehensive data capture and transparency at every stage, the platform seamlessly integrates with IMS and other core systems without requiring additional coding. Additionally, it expertly manages rate versions, facilitating smooth transitions between multiple rate updates, streamlining operations for both insurers and MGAs.
Evolution of the Rate, Estimate, and Commit Process
Historically, the insurance industry has relied heavily on manual processes and outdated systems that have led to inefficiencies and errors. Legacy systems often lack the flexibility and scalability needed to keep up with the rapid demands of modern insurance operations. The SelectsysTech RQB platform addresses these challenges by providing a digital-first approach that automates and enhances the entire rate, quote, and contract process.
Key Features and Benefits of the RQB Platform
- Comprehensive data collection and transparency: One of the key benefits of the RQB platform is its ability to collect and manage comprehensive data across the entire insurance lifecycle. By ensuring data transparency, the platform enables more informed decisions and increases the overall efficiency of the insurance process. This comprehensive data collection also helps meet regulatory requirements and improve risk assessments.
- Seamless integration: The RQB Platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing Insurance Administration Systems (IMS) and other core systems. This integration does not require additional coding, significantly reducing the time and resources required for implementation. As a result, insurers and MGAs can quickly adopt the platform and enjoy its benefits without significant disruption to their operations.
- Streamlined operations and evaluation management: Maintaining rating versions and managing multiple rate updates can be difficult with traditional systems. The RQB Platform simplifies this process by automating rating version management and facilitating smooth transitions between updates. This improves productivity, reduces costs, and allows underwriters and sales teams to focus on more strategic tasks.
Increase sales efficiency with turnkey comparative evaluations
For MGAs and wholesalers, keeping up with multiple P&C insurers and integrating third-party services can be a daunting task that impedes the sales process and market entry. The RQB Platform provides a turnkey comparative rating solution that integrates with over 30 insurers and supports a variety of third-party services including Google APIs, Core Logic, E2Value, Zillow, Verisk, DTC (Distance To Coast), VIN Service and Address Cloud.
Real-time rate comparison, quotes and commitments
The RQB platform’s single entry multi-carrier comparison rate, quote, and contract capabilities allow users to enter their data once and receive real-time comparison information from multiple carriers. This eliminates the need to re-enter submissions and speeds up the process of getting quotes and signing policies. This efficiency not only enhances the sales process, but also increases customer satisfaction by providing faster and more accurate quotes.
Case Study: How RQB Transforms Insurance Distribution
Consider a mid-sized MGA that was struggling with inefficient sales processes due to its reliance on outdated systems. By implementing the RQB Platform, the company was able to consolidate its various lines of business and streamline operations. The platform’s automation capabilities reduced the time required to create quotes by 50%, allowing the sales team to serve more customers and close deals faster. Additionally, improved data management provided valuable insights into customer preferences, allowing the MGA to customize offers and improve customer satisfaction.
Future Trends of Digital Insurance Platforms
