Intelligent policy change processing is becoming more efficient as Vertafore introduces its Velocity Change Request Agent, an AI-powered tool that automates insurance policy comparisons. Unlike traditional manual reviews, the system identifies differences between existing policies and incoming applications, presenting relevant changes in clear summaries while allowing underwriters to retain control over final decisions.
Integrated into Vertafore's Surefyre platform, the agent extracts information from renewal and endorsement requests, organizes details, and prepares updates for review. Underwriters can modify the generated summaries before saving approved changes. Internal testing demonstrated a 70% reduction in review and documentation time alongside a 98% decrease in errors.
For managing general agents, these capabilities could increase underwriting capacity without adding equivalent administrative workloads. Faster processing also creates opportunities to improve customer service, reduce operational costs, and allow insurance professionals to concentrate on risk assessment.
