About
Challenges faced by One80 Intermediaries
One80 sought out ways to update their processes. But in order to scale its business, it needed to move faster to onboard more agents and write more policies. One80 contracted with Surefyre to address four key challenges that opened up their opportunities for growth.
-
1. Manual underwriting process
One80 struggled with a time-consuming, email-driven underwriting process that delayed quotes and policy issuance. The reliance on PDF submissions and lengthy email exchanges hindered efficiency and led to wasted time on applications that were ultimately declined.
-
2. Inability to integrate
The lack of integration between disparate systems forced One80 to manually re-enter data across multiple platforms, increasing overhead and complicating operations. This fragmentation prevented seamless communication and added unnecessary complexity to their processes.
-
3. Agent onboarding challenges
Inefficient manual workflows restricted One80's ability to expand their agency force and accept more applications. This limitation hindered their capacity to onboard a greater number of insurance professionals, stalling business growth and scalability.
-
4. Lack of data and insights
Without robust data analytics, One80 was unable to generate customizable reports, limiting their ability to gain insights into operations, products, and services. This lack of data-driven decision-making impeded their ability to optimize strategies and enhance customer experiences.
Turning inefficiencies into opportunities
One80 Intermediaries worked with Surefyre to transform its business with smart automations.
Surefyre’s answer:
• Automate underwriting workflows
• Integrate One80's systems
• Empower agents with a digital platform
