AIM, Vertafore’s MGA solution, centralizes underwriting, accounting, and claims operations. Designed to manage the full policy lifecycle, AIM helps increase speed-to-market, while ensuring accuracy throughout the entire process, according to the ClarionDoor statement. To expand and enhance AIM’s capabilities for more real-time interaction with carrier channels, Vertafore partnered with ClarionDoor, the vendor says.
“We are thrilled to be working with ClarionDoor to help our joint customers gain new efficiencies and unlock more growth as they can reduce manual processes and write business even faster,” comments James Thom, SVP, Corporate Development and Strategy, Vertafore. “Our goal at Vertafore is to improve the flow and speed of information across the insurance distribution channel. This collaboration enables that by creating benefits for AIM users and the entire channel as we enable stronger integration between retail agencies and ClarionDoor systems to expedite rating processes.”
ClarionDoor’s MGA Hub was launched earlier in 2020 and is currently live at 14 MGAs, the vendor reports. The platform enables access to over 25 E&S carriers from a single portal.
