You’ll soon be hearing a lot about our new SinglePoint software. It will make it easy to submit ACORD New Business Applications to any auto carrier and MAIP.

We had been building SinglePoint for a while, but when the Commissioner made her decision to proceed with Managed Competition we really kicked it into gear. We realized it was going to be difficult for agents to quote and submit business in this new environment. Agents were going to need a better method than re-keying quote data into different carrier web sites.

So we built SinglePoint and we included it as part of the new WinRater Comparative Auto Rating Software. Agents will be able to get an accurate quote for all their carriers, select the carrier (or MAIP) they want to submit to, and launch SinglePoint where all the rating data will prefill onto an ACORD new-business app. Agents can complete the app and click “Upload” to transfer all the data to the carrier site for verification and issuance.

We believe agents will be so busy they won’t be able to use a different workflow for each company. That’s why we created SinglePoint. The workflow will be the same for all carriers and MAIP. CSRs won’t have to learn different keystrokes and work-arounds for different carriers and rekey customer information. A standardized submission process is an absolute necessity.

We expect a number of carriers to be plugged into SinglePoint right at the start in April, with all others jumping onboard shortly thereafter.
