Velocity Risk
We have doubled our profitability over the last two years. Part of that is absolutely due to being able to ask the right questions and have the right pricing on accounts, thanks to the fast turnaround that we get in InsuranceNow.

President
Velocity Risk
With InsuranceNow we can give our producers a lot of capabilities they did not have in prior policy administration systems, and its support and maintenance are significantly less — about 60% less than our previous platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
- You can launch new programs in weeks and change rating logic in days, not months. Prebuilt line-of-business templates give you a head start, while low-code tools let business users modify workflows, add rating variables, and adjust underwriting rules directly—no IT tickets required. One MGA added five new rating factors in two days and pushed them live after testing, all within the same platform. This reduces release cycles and helps you respond faster to market shifts or carrier requests.
- Yes. Bordereaux production, delegated claims handling, and layered reinsurance tracking are all handled within the platform. Each function is workflow-driven, version-controlled, and audit-ready. You avoid the typical patchwork of spreadsheets, manual reconciliations, and email-based approvals—saving time and ensuring compliance across partners.
- Portals are fully connected to your live policy, billing, and claims data. Brokers can quote, bind, and issue renewals in real time—without double-entry or waiting on manual responses. All endorsements, quote decisions, and claims updates are visible on both sides. This improves placement speed, reduces handoffs, and gives brokers confidence in turnaround times and accuracy—strengthening their loyalty to your program.
- Out of the box, you get embedded dashboards for underwriting velocity, claims resolution times, and submission-to-bind ratios. AI models are pre-trained to identify risky submissions, recommend triage paths for claims, and flag emerging loss trends. These are embedded directly in workflows—no separate tools or exports required—so your team can act on insights immediately and focus on higher-value decisions.
- Every transaction, rule override, and decision point is logged automatically. Underwriting authority is tied to specific users and enforced via rules-based workflows. Bordereaux files can be generated automatically, and audit reports include full traceability by user and timestamp.
- Yes. The platform is designed for MGAs managing multiple carriers and expanding product lines. You can onboard new programs using reusable templates, add rules by carrier, and maintain a unified view across the portfolio. A secure, elastic cloud infrastructure ensures uptime as volumes grow, while open APIs make it easy to connect to broker platforms, embedded distribution, and carrier systems—without rearchitecting.
- You’ll get a structured onboarding process with proven milestones, insurance domain experts, and prebuilt configuration accelerators. After go-live, a managed service model keeps your system current with ongoing updates—no disruptive upgrade cycles. That means your teams can stay focused on growth, not maintenance.
