How an Independent Insurance Agency Automated Quoting and Renewals to Write 35% More Policies
The Problem
This independent P&C agency was competitive on price but losing deals on speed. Producing a multi-carrier quote took 45–60 minutes of manual data entry across 3–4 carrier portals. Policy renewals consumed 20+ hours per week. Producers spent only 35% of their time on revenue-generating activities.

Mapped the full policy lifecycle from prospect inquiry through binding, servicing, and renewal. Identified that producers spent only 35% of their time on revenue-generating activities — the rest was data entry and administrative follow-up.
Custom Build
6 weeks
Built 4 automations targeting the quoting pipeline, renewal management, claims intake, and client communication.
Smart quoting workflow
Client fills out one digital intake form. AI extracts and formats data for each carrier's requirements and pre-fills applications across 4 carrier portals. What took 45–60 minutes per quote now takes 8–12 minutes of review and submission.
Automated renewal pipeline
System pulls policies expiring in 60/45/30 days, triggers personalized outreach, collects updated information via digital forms, and queues re-quotes for producer review. Renewal retention rate increased from 79% to 91%.
Claims intake automation
Clients report claims through a guided digital form (24/7). AI collects incident details, photos, and documents, then formats and submits first notice of loss to the appropriate carrier. Reporting time dropped from 2 business days to 3 hours.
Policy lifecycle communications
Welcome sequences, mid-term check-ins, coverage review reminders, and renewal nurture sequences all automated based on policy dates. Cross-sell recommendations triggered by life events and coverage gaps.

“My producers were spending more time on data entry than talking to clients. Now they quote in a fraction of the time and the renewal pipeline basically runs itself. We wrote 35% more policies last quarter without adding a single person.”
