Carriers and agencies alike rely on MGAs and MGUs for their expertise in niche markets and specialized coverage. To maintain that trusted status, they have to keep on top of new trends and stay in front of demand—a goal which can’t be achieved without modern, integrated tools.
The days of running your MGA with a hodgepodge of different software are over. It’s not efficient for your staff and it can make the experience of doing business with you difficult. Streamlining operations is frequently at the top of mind when it comes to insurance technology, and it is almost always guided by the philosophy of bringing value to the customer.
