"The system is so easy to use. The new features in FSC Rater powered by PL Rating have really saved the agency time. We no longer have to go into a separate cost estimator when quoting homes—it is built right in. Another benefit is being able to run SAQ. It saves us time by not having to correct the quote later and know which company to place the business with. It is truly a blessing for our office."
