QuinStreet, Inc. announced the launch of its QuinStreet Rating Platform. QRP is designed to solve a pain point in the insurance marketplace. Previously, insurance agents might use up to three different systems to gather quotes for one prospective customer. While a workable solution a decade ago, today's large agencies rely on call centers staffed by hundreds of agents, who still use siloed platforms to deliver quotes to countless callers daily. Juggling between systems that don't communicate well is problematic, leading to missed opportunities for agencies, while consumers endure long phone wait times. Created to solve these inefficiencies in the current insurance market, the QRP solution allows agents to manage their entire workflow in one place, with one centralized platform that is scalable. It uniquely enables insurance agents to pull real-time rates from major carriers and permits them to bind policies seamlessly. This significantly speeds up the sales process and provides better, faster service for consumers. It's also adaptable, able to connect with other third-party customer relationship management (CRM) software, while also able to support customer acquisition and leads. Insurance agencies can use QRP to obtain a bird's-eye view of their agent's day-to-day business, longer-term goals, and individual staff activities. Other features include: Direct integrations with full bind experience, Real-time reporting and a customizable user experience, Customizable content management and carrier management. For carriers, QRP offers a streamlined and direct relationship with insurance agencies in one place, with a one-stop-shop for compliance, profitability insights and other critical information. Most of all, QRP offers as many insights as those commonly offered to agents. Rather than being reactionary, carriers are now able to respond to issues in real time, with data. Benefits include: Decreased call handling time, Customized product pricing and media performance reports, A single place for managing underwriting rules, Access to segmentation data. Building QRP involved leveraging QuinStreet's existing carrier integration APIs and management dashboard. At launch, QRP is available for auto insurance, and QuinStreet will roll out homeowners and renters' insurance soon.
