Overview - Submission Gateway Portal™

Imagine a world where data flows seamlessly from your agents to you… A key component to the seamless flow of information is having a way to collect this data online. Appulate's Submission Gateway Portal™ is a product suite that focuses on getting your programs online and making it easier for your agents to submit business to you.

Traditionally, the industry has relied on ACORD and carrier specific supplemental forms to collect data to complete submissions. Decades ago, these were typically sent in through the mail, then by fax machine and eventually via email. While the transportation mechanism for submitting has progressed over the years, one thing has never changed – in all of these cases, the carrier is forced to enter this data into their own rating / underwriting system.

Within the last decade, sophisticated carriers came to the realization that they no longer wanted the burden of data entry. To combat this, they started creating "portal" websites for their agent partners – pushing the task of data entry down. Since your agents are on the front lines with the insured, they are in the best position to answer the questions required for submission. With Appulate's Submission Gateway Portal, you are in control of what data is collected, but you actually provide ways to make this easy on the agents. Appulate makes the agent's job much simpler by providing data bridges from the agent's management systems. Appulate also offers interfaces that help pre-qualify incoming submissions to keep the agent from wasting their time (and yours) with submissions that you would not have an appetite for.

In today's fast pace world, carriers need an agent portal to stay competitive. Appulate provides a "best of breed" solution, specifically designed for your needs.

Appulate is a proud partner of the Real Time group and effort to help agents, MGAs, and carriers streamline their business processes to send and receive information in real time.
