What is the announcement?

Vertafore (www.vertafore.com), a leading provider of insurance distribution channel solutions, has announced its acquisition of StoneRiver FSC (FSC) (www.fscrating.com) from StoneRiver Group, L.P.  FSC, a market leader in California, Arizona and Nevada, delivers insurance rating and management systems to more than 6,500 customers, including independent agents, brokers, insurance carriers and managing general agencies across the country.

How does this help independent agents and brokers?

1. By joining forces with FSC, Vertafore will provide our customers with a broader personal lines rating solution in states including California. For more than 30 years, FSC has been the leader in the personal lines rating market in the western states, providing agencies, MGAs and carriers with accurate and easy-to-use comparative rating solutions.
2. Due to our added capability to develop a comprehensive, national rating solution, the acquisition reinforces our commitment to providing agencies with the multi-carrier rating solutions they need to compete and win personal lines business against captive insurers and direct writers.
3. Innovative new solutions—Vertafore presents Pipeline Manager, the industry’s first insurance-specific sales management system designed to give Personal and Commercial Lines producers and managers the information they need to sell, manage and analyze new business in real time. Vertafore Pipeline Manager helps agencies make the most of every lead, every prospect and every relationship across all lines of business, giving producers more time to sell while simultaneously reducing costs and administrative overhead.

How does this help carriers?

Vertafore is committed to providing comprehensive real-time multi-carrier rating solutions that deliver value to carriers, their agencies and ultimately the end consumer, the insured.  Together Vertafore and FSC rating solutions deliver carriers unparalleled access to new personal lines business through the largest network of independent insurance agencies in America.
