Catalyit's Advice
What carriers and states are included?
What lines of business does the platform support?
Does the platform support consumer access to complete basic information?
Will the platform integrate with your agency management system? (Link AMS guide)
Are policy coverage comparisons included, as well as premium comparisons?
Steve Anderson's Take
“The number of quoting platforms available has dwindled over the years. You may have to make some trade-offs between getting everything you want and what’s available. Like agency management systems, there isn’t a best quoting platform but a best platform for your organization.”
