THE CHALLENGE

Managing contracts across multiple carriers had become difficult and time consuming

The organization worked with multiple carrier partners, each with its own forms, credential requirements, and review process. Producers had to complete separate forms for every carrier and submit them by email.

Documents such as state licenses, E&O coverage, AML training certificates, banking details, and compliance questionnaires were checked manually. Approvals moved through forwarded email threads, with limited visibility once a request reached the carrier. As the network grew, tracking applications, requirements, follow-ups, and contracting outcomes became difficult.

PAIN POINTS
  • Producers had to complete a separate set of forms and documents for each carrier.

  • The team collected and verified every producer's details manually.

  • Approvals moved from the agency admin to the corporate team and then to the carrier, without one shared queue.

  • Carrier packages were prepared by hand, increasing the chance of missing or incorrect information.

  • Once a request was sent to a carrier, the team had limited visibility into its status and no clear audit trail.

  • Contracting results had to be entered manually into the producer and compensation system.

  • Every new producer or carrier added more manual work for the team.

THE SOLUTION

A platform built specifically to manage producer contracting, not another system of record

We built the platform to manage the complete contracting process while working alongside the organization's existing systems. Producer information, licensing details, and hierarchy records remain in their current systems, while users continue to sign in and access the platform through the existing portal.

The platform brings onboarding, contracting requests, approvals, document generation, carrier submissions, and status updates into one connected workflow.

DATA & DOCUMENT VALIDATION

Automated producer verification, before anything reaches a carrier

Before generating a contract package, the platform checks carrier requirements and verifies license and appointment details through NIPR, helping identify missing information and outdated details before submission.

  • NIPR ValidationLicence and appointment details validated against the national producer registry before submission.
  • Licensing & AppointmentsState licences and appointment status, carried from the client's producer system of record.
  • Compliance CredentialsE&O cover, AML training, and the carrier's compliance questionnaire.
  • Banking DetailsPayout account information captured and updated through its own tracked request type.
  • Carrier Business RulesPer-carrier rules applied at request level before the payload is built.
RESULTS & IMPACT

Contracting moved off email. Validation, package generation, approvals, and carrier submission now run as one tracked workflow, used by thousands of producers every month.

FASTER MORE EFFICIENT CONTRACTING
  • Full audit visibility on every request
  • One workflow across carrier partners
  • New carriers added by configuration
  • Validation before carrier submission
  • No manual re-entry into producer records

Outcome

The platform moved producer contracting from a largely manual, email-based process to a connected digital workflow. Onboarding and approvals that took a week now take hours, the team processes far more contracts a day with a fraction of the staff, and updates across carriers that once took over two weeks are handled the same day.

CARRIER INTEGRATION

Connecting contracting across multiple carrier partners

Each carrier has its own requirements, document formats, business rules, and submission methods. To manage these differences, the platform allows administrators to configure each carrier within the same workflow.

This makes it easier to add new life and annuity carrier partners or update existing requirements without making code changes or waiting for a new software release.
