Guide: Online Applications & Forms
Integrating an online application and form process into your insurance agency's operations can be a smart strategic move. It can help improve efficiency, accuracy, and client satisfaction.
Catalyit's Advice
The solution should offer a seamless, intuitive user interface that guides clients through the application process without confusion. A simplified user experience (UX) increases completion rates and client satisfaction.
Given the sensitive nature of the information collected, the chosen solution must adhere to industry-standard security protocols and comply with state and federal data regulations.
Integrating with your current AMS and other systems is crucial. This ensures that data flows smoothly between systems, improving efficiency and reducing the likelihood of errors.
Look for solutions that allow customization of forms and applications to match the specific needs and branding of the agency.
Is it easy to update existing forms and add new forms?
Steve Anderson's Take
“Completing necessary insurance applications and other forms is a pain. New digital tools allow you to collect information and process applications that are easier for your clients. These tools can range from simple contact forms to comprehensive insurance application processes that include data validation, document uploads, and digital signatures.
Adding an online applications and forms solution can streamline your agency processes, enhance your customer experience, minimize errors, and save time on data entry – making it faster and more efficient for both your agency and the client.”
