Network partnership
A solid foundation for independent agencies
The insurance landscape is changing. Independent agencies that want to remain truly independent need the scale, support, and access to broader markets and increased contingency in order to remain competitive. It helps to have a technology partner that understands what you are going through. As an experienced agent, you'll know that an agency management system is a foundation for your business, and you want one that helps you scale and grow your business. We have resources to help you make these decisions and an active community of users that can support agencies partnered with Smart Choice.
We've helped many agencies scale with solutions that address their specific requirements, and we welcome a chance to discuss your needs and share best practices. Contact your dedicated Vertafore Smart Choice account team and we'll discuss how our solutions enable you to grow your business.
