New Agency need management system and raters
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 4:04 pm
I am a new independent with 10 years of captive agent experience.
I am in the process of selecting a new Agency Management system and rater for my new office. I signed up for FSC and Hawksoft and I am very disappointed, it is so difficult to use. The difficulty is in the bridging of the two softwares, each company blames the other as well as it took an Insurance company trainer (embarrassing) to help fix it. The trainer was also nice enough to refer me to Quomation. I contacted Quomation and was able to test drive it for a couple of weeks. I am very happy with the results! My staff and I were able to learn it in just two days! It is easy and efficient with common sense applications. Has anyone had a similar experience with Hawksoft and FSC? Hawksoft will not let me out of the contract without eating the license fee of 2000.00 FSC was however was very cordial about terminating the agreement. FSC also charges 25.00 per user fee and Quomation includes 10 users for 99.00 for their rater. Quotation’s management software is 99.00 a month as well. I have cut my costs by two thirds! Quomation is also real time with all the preferred carriers I have and takes fewer steps to input the information. ( not as redundant in the customer profile section) Quomation has all the same features that I am interested in and works with Netquote and other leads. I did look into EZLinks and they only have a rater. I feel having the Management system and rater with one company gives me a huge advantage. I have heard Quomation has been in business for over 10 Years and is in over 30 states. They have only been in CA for three months. I have no choice but to eat $2000.00 Hawksoft fee, the difference in price is worth it. I am still researching a replacement for Hawksoft and FSC. Any helpful Suggestions appreciated?
