Fall into Efficiency This Season with Simplified Commercial Lines Submissions

This post is part of a series sponsored by EZLynx.

With fall in full swing, independent insurance agencies are gearing up for one of the busiest—and most festive—times of the year. Between Thanksgiving dinners, holiday planning, and the inevitable year-end rush, it can be challenging to find extra time to manage those tricky commercial lines submissions.

But what if you could simplify the entire submission process and free up time to enjoy the season? EZLynx’s new Single-Stream Commercial Lines Submission workflow is designed just for that: making commercial lines submissions easier, faster, and less stressful—so you can confidently expand beyond personal lines and grow your business without the headache.

Why Reimagine the Commercial Lines Submission Process?

We’ve seen it firsthand: more and more traditional personal lines agencies are looking to expand into commercial lines, attracted by the opportunity for growth through diversification. But they often run into the complex and time-consuming maze that is the commercial lines submission process. It comes with a steep learning curve for many agents, leading to errors and delays that slow down business.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. The commercial lines market represents a tremendous opportunity for independent agencies and can be highly lucrative, providing a path to cross-sell to your customers and grow revenue.

The numbers speak for themselves:

• Nearly all EZLynx AMS agencies already manage a commercial book and nearly half manage what we would consider a substantial commercial lines book.
• In the past month alone, we have seen a 30% increase in submissions tracked in the management system.
• Many agencies in our segment tell us they project commercial will represent 40% of their book by 2027.

That’s why EZLynx set out to reimagine the entire commercial lines submission experience. The goal? To create an integrated solution that puts everything agents need into one comprehensive workflow with no confusing forks in the road.

What Makes the Single-Stream CL Submission Workflow a Game-Changer?

At its core, the Single-Stream workflow is unified, repeatable, and predictable. Whether you’re submitting manually, bridging data from a carrier portal, or using a commercial lines comparative rater, our updated approach standardizes and simplifies the entire process.

Here’s what you get:

• Simple commercial application data entry: Capture only the essential information, making submissions faster and more accurate.
• Embedded CL comparative rating (general availability in Q1): Soon you’ll be able to see real-time quotes directly within your submission workflow.
• Automated ACORD form generation: Forms are pre-populated and ready for carriers, saving you time.
• Intelligent coverage suggestions (beta): Based on a business’s NAICS code, Applied Book Builder suggests lines of business and coverages to help you provide more complete proposals.

The result? Less error, faster submissions, and a process that encourages best practices, all empowering your agency to win more commercial business with less hassle.

Why Wait?

Looking for an all-in-one agency management system that powers your entire agency and helps you unlock new market segments? There’s never been a better time to invest in EZLynx.
