In 2014 County Insurance went live on the Quote Portal, using i-Wonder’s single data entry technology to reduce the time required to generate the most competitive Taxi insurance quote across a panel of more than 15 insurers from 40 minutes to 5.
‘Having seen what the Portal can do in terms of increasing conversion rates and improving efficiency during our rapid expansion in the Taxi market, County see the Portal as the way forward for any risk that requires staff to access rates from multiple sources. The Portal also reduces the need for our agents to have market specific detailed insurer knowledge by sending the risk to all our insurers, and the combination of these benefits has given County the confidence to use it to underpin our expansion in the Courier market, with Motor Trade to follow.’ Alastair Christopherson, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of County Group
‘i-Wonder is looking forward to seeing County’s Courier and other Road Risk books grow substantially during 2016 with the help of the Portal.’ explains Steve Young, Chief Executive Officer of i-Wonder. ‘Our vision is of a completely connected broking business, where all the various back office, online and rating platforms are integrated and this is another step on that path.’
Launched in 2013, i-Wonder’s Quote Portal seamlessly blends rates from extranets, guide products and back office rating engines into a single panel of results. The Portal has radically changed the Road Risk quote process for its users, cutting the time required to generate a competitive rate from 30 minutes to 5 by eliminating rekeying. What’s more the Portal presents the risk to all your markets, not just those that the advisor thinks will produce a good rate based on previous experience, ensuring the advisor always sees the best rate available.
Guide products can be cost effectively added to the Portal using the infinitely flexible rating engine offered by our sister company, theinsurercloud.com. To completely eliminate re-keying (and reduce operator error), the Portal is integrated with the majority of back office platforms.
