For many insurance carriers, onboarding new agents still means juggling spreadsheets, paperwork, and emails across multiple systems. Every license check, appointment request, and compliance review adds more time, and every hour spent waiting is an hour not spent selling.
At the same time, carriers are tasked with overcoming complex regulations, diverse distribution channels, and new expectations from agency partners. To overcome these challenges, carriers are turning to comprehensive digital onboarding platforms like Vertafore’s Sircon Onboarding & Self-Service.
How Vertafore’s Sircon Onboarding & Self Service helps carriers modernize onboarding and compliance
There’s no question that carriers need better ways to bring producers online quickly, correctly, and confidently—and that’s where Sircon Onboarding & Self-Service comes in. Built for digital producer onboarding and compliance automation, Sircon Onboarding & Self-Service replaces manual workflows with an intelligent, connected experience that empowers carriers and agents to move forward faster. As part of the Sircon for Carriers integrated distribution management platform, Sircon Onboarding & Self-Service integrates seamlessly with Sircon Producer Central, Sircon Compensation, and other Vertafore tools to deliver an end-to-end carrier onboarding experience. Here’s why the digital producer onboarding solution works so well:
-
Sircon’s automated onboarding process: Real-time NIPR and National Producer Database data integration helps to pre-populate forms, collects only missing information, and automatically obtains the right appointments so agents can be ready to sell as soon as possible.
-
Sircon Onboarding & Self-Service e-signature integration with DocuSign: Integrated, secure electronic signatures within your Vertafore ecosystem eliminate paper delays and redundant forms.
-
Compliance automation within your Vertafore ecosystem: Enforces business rules by product, region, and channel, automatically securing the credentials agents need while maintaining regulatory alignment.
-
Self-service and transparency with Sircon Onboarding & Self Service: Agents manage their own onboarding and status updates in a personalized portal, reducing back-and-forth with carrier staff.
-
Just-in-time appointing (JIT): With Vertafore’s Sircon Onboarding & Self-Service JIT model, carriers pay appointment fees when business is generated. And with termination-for-lack-of-production (TLOP) review, the system identifies agents who aren’t producing and triggers automated termination processes.
Together these features support the greater goal: making insurance agent onboarding part of a modern distribution management system rather than another operational hurdle. With Vertafore, carriers gain the most complete onboarding and compliance automation solution available today.

With Sircon, carriers can automate credentialing across channels, states, and products, scale faster, adapt quicker to regulatory changes, and deliver smooth agent experiences that attract talent and drive loyalty. Plus, with compliance running automatically, carrier teams can stay focused on growing the business and servicing policyholders.
