Vertafore's Project Impact Enhances Agency Efficiency
Vertafore, a leader in InsurTech, recently announced significant advancements from its initiative, Project Impact, aimed at optimizing workflows for account managers in insurance agencies. This project has successfully delivered on its promise: giving account managers back up to two hours each day by streamlining intricate everyday servicing tasks and workflows that are essential for agency operations.
Benefits of Project Impact
One of the standout features of Project Impact is its ability to eliminate friction in processes that have traditionally been time-consuming. By simplifying high-volume workflows, such as direct bill entry, policy renewals, and journal entries, Vertafore has significantly improved speed and usability. For instance, this initiative has returned nearly 20 minutes per user every day across a 100-user agency, culminating in over 33 hours of additional productive capacity daily.
Vijay Muniswamy, Vice President of Product Management at Vertafore, emphasized the need for independent agencies to maximize their efficiency using existing technology and talent. He noted, "Project Impact set out to drive time savings in the workflows agencies rely on most, and our customers are seeing the benefits with more time for clients and activities that drive real value for their business."
Direct Impact on Productivity
Deni Dryer, a subject matter expert in business applications at EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants, highlighted the immediate improvements from Project Impact that translate into tangible productivity gains. These enhancements manifest as fewer clicking interruptions and smoother navigation through agency workflows, allowing account managers to focus on building client relationships and fostering agency growth rather than getting bogged down by administrative hurdles.
"Insurance professionals don't measure productivity in hours; we measure it in clicks," remarked Shyla Lankford, Chief Operating Officer at Lipscomb Insurance. The impact of Project Impact cannot be overstated; it feels as if they are gaining back the time they didn’t know they’d lost, enabling them to reallocate their focus towards meaningful tasks.
A Foundation for the Future
Project Impact serves as a foundational pillar within Vertafore's AgencyOne® unified experience. This recognized platform integrates these efficiency gains, enabling agencies to operate with increased speed, consistency, and scalability. As the insurance industry evolves, Vertafore is prioritizing enhancements that not only bolster agency performance today but also prepare them for the challenges of tomorrow.
