Retail Agents using the standard market have vastly improved the electronic interfaces between their agency offices and standard carriers through the adoption of Real Time integration (http://www.getrealtime.org/). This technology is available to be applied to the Wholesalers/General Agents and E&S marketplace.
Real Time is “the ability to click on a button from a client/account file in an agency management system or comparative rater for immediate access to GA or carrier information on that client/account. The transaction may be a quote, billing inquiry, claim inquiry/loss runs, policy view, endorsements or a request for information. This approach provides a single workflow for servicing and quoting.” RAs have recognized significant time savings, which have resulted in improved client service and more sales for the agents and carriers, and will lead to increased sales for GAs and E&S carriers.
The Excess and Surplus Lines Joint Working Group (E&S JWG) is a partnership of AAMGA, ACORD, ACT, and NAPSLO to fight the "War on Keystrokes", and improve our industry to save time and increase profits.
Join the effort! Over 350 participants are working together to make a difference. We need all distribution partners - Retail Agents, Wholesalers/General Agents, E&S Carriers, Specialty Markets, and Vendors.
