SL Digitized Case Study: Transforming Agency Operations with Digital Solutions

​

Background:

​

An established commercial insurance agency was struggling with inefficiencies in handling surplus lines and agency bill policies. The traditional manual processes consumed a significant amount of time and resources, leading to reduced productivity and increased operational costs. The agency recognized the need for a digital transformation to stay competitive and enhance its service delivery.

 

Challenge:

 

The primary challenges faced by the agency included:

​

• High dependence on manual processes, resulting in time-consuming and error-prone operations.

• Increased workload for producers and account managers, limiting their ability to focus on sales and client relationship management.

• Elevated risk of errors and omissions (E&O) due to manual data handling.

• Difficulty in managing and renewing policies efficiently, leading to client dissatisfaction.

SL Digitized introduced a comprehensive digital platform tailored to the needs of the agency. The solution included:

• A 95% approval rate for renewal applications without the need for multiple emails or phone calls.

• Doubling the production capacity of producers and enabling account managers to handle twice as many accounts.

• Reducing the time spent on non-income generating tasks, allowing staff to focus on client relationships and sales.

• Decreasing operational costs and increasing EBITA, thereby enhancing the overall value of the agency.
