We can check products, rates and limits in a matter of minutes. After entering a password issued by the company, agents are guided through a series of screens that require a minimum amount of agency and account information. As agents enter data, the system pre-fills many areas of the forms based on an individual agency database. You can quote surety and fidelity premiums to your clients while you have them on the phone or when you're in their office.
