The insurance industry stands as a pillar of economic stability, managing over $7 trillion in global assets and safeguarding millions of individuals and businesses. Yet, digital disruption, shifting customer expectations, and regulatory complexities continue to challenge traditional operating models.
Historically, insurance agents worked in silos – juggling manual paperwork, disjointed systems, and time-consuming processes. This inefficiency not only impacted productivity but also diminished customer experiences, leading to slow responses and missed opportunities.
