Jacksonville, Florida-based insurer The Main Street America Group has introduced Main Street Station for Personal Lines — a new quoting and policy issuance system for its independent insurance agents in Maine, Virginia and Georgia.
Agents will be able to use the new system to quote, endorse or cancel policies for customers who have policies written with one of Main Street America’s operating companies, including NGM Insurance Co., Old Dominion Insurance Co. and Main Street America Assurance Co.
In Maine and Virginia, agents are using the system for homeowners and private passenger automobile insurance. In Georgia, it is just being used for private passenger auto but homeowners will follow soon.
Bonny Parker, Main Street America’s vice president of personal lines, said the new system includes automated underwriting which will mean – in most cases – agents can receive immediate decisions on new business submissions.
The new system also includes a premium summary page, which enables agents to make edits on the fly, trying different quote variations to assess the impact on premium.
It will also allow agents the opportunity to download policy information policy information into the major agency management systems, saving agents duplicate data entry.
