The Challenge

In an increasingly digital age, insurance agencies big and small are facing new challenges that impact how they serve and engage with both current and new customers. In 2020, the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic has further highlighted the need to find new ways of doing business.

New digital players — Independent agencies are losing ground to new players entering the market across all segments on completely digital platforms.
Consolidation – Mergers and acquisitions have created issues regarding consolidation.
Cybersecurity – The digitization of the insurance industry has resulted in cybersecurity threats and concerns.
Customer acquisition and retention — The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the demand for new technology to provide a high level of customer service and personal contact to better serve existing and new customers.
Agency management software — Outdated and inflexible agency management software stands in the way of adapting to new digital challenges.
