Sahouri Insurance Enhances Payment Processes with SimplePin's Solutions

In a significant move towards operational efficiency, Sahouri Insurance, a family-owned insurance agency based in Tysons Corner, Virginia, has selected SimplePin for its innovative approach to automating payment processes. This partnership underscores the agency's commitment to modernizing its operations and improving client service through effective solutions.

Founded in 1970, Sahouri Insurance has built a robust network, working with over 300 insurance carriers. However, their traditional payment processing methods were becoming cumbersome. Before integrating SimplePin, the agency relied on a mixture of payment tools to manage its premium payments, which often led to laborious manual billing and reconciliation efforts. The existing practices resulted in time-consuming data entry and an increased risk of missed billing, which ultimately affected client service and overall efficiency.

With SimplePin's comprehensive insurance receivables platform, Sahouri Insurance is poised to automate critical stages of its receivables process. This includes automated client billing for agency bill accounts through a customized white-labeled client portal, which will streamline billing and make it more user-friendly. Additionally, automation in follow-ups for collections will significantly reduce the days sales outstanding, ensuring that payments are collected more quickly.

One major advantage of the integration with SimplePin is the seamless payment posting and reconciliation designed to work directly with Applied Epic, a core system used by the agency. This integration eliminates much of the manual workload that accountants and customer service representatives previously endured, allowing them to redirect their efforts towards providing high-value services to clients.

Douglas McLellan, the Controller at Sahouri Insurance, emphasized the importance of automation for their operations, stating, "With SimplePin, we're eliminating the risk of missed billings, reducing manual data entry, and giving our team more time to focus on what matters most — serving our clients." This statement reflects the agency's proactive approach to enhancing its operations through technology, enabling them to maintain their exceptional service even as client demands evolve.

Metod Topolnik, CEO of SimplePin, expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership, highlighting that Sahouri Insurance's decision to embrace full automation is essential for modern agency operations. The capabilities offered by SimplePin, from client billing through to reconciliation, can dramatically reduce manual tasks, improve data accuracy, and ultimately lead to stronger client relationships through a more efficient payment experience.

The anticipated outcome of this integration is not only time savings in billing and accounting but also enhanced accuracy and accelerated payment collection cycles. Automating billing reminders means that fewer resources will be spent on chasing payments, letting the team at Sahouri focus on delivering the quality service their clients expect.

As SimplePin continues to lead the charge in insurance receivables automation, more agencies like Sahouri Insurance are recognizing the value of modernizing their processes. This strategic partnership sets a notable precedent for efficiency and client-centric service in the insurance industry, paving the way for others to follow suit.

With this move, Sahouri Insurance demonstrates that an agency can thrive by investing in technology designed for the future, reaffirming its commitment to providing tailored solutions to its clientele across the nation.
