Assurant Intermediary launches new point of sale platform
Share
Specialist general insurance provider Assurant Intermediary has launched UPOS, a new web-based point of sale platform designed to provide intermediaries with a single point of access to its full range of products.
Nigel Payne, managing director director of Assurant Intermediary, says: “This is very much the first stage in what will be a continual evolution of our point of sale proposition for intermediaries. We’re looking to add more products to our general insurance portfolio and increase our panel of providers. Our goal is to ensure we give intermediaries the choice they’re looking for on behalf of their clients, backed by the speed of service and detail of management information they need to manage their own business.”
UPOS will enable intermediaries to access multiple quotes, compare the market and determine the most suitable option for their clients by keying in just one set of information. All products are underwritten at the point of sale and all documents are available online including the illustration, demands and needs statement and policy documentation. These can all be emailed to the client as required.
Payne adds: “The launch of UPOS marks the fulfilment of one of the strategic objectives we set for ourselves at the beginning of 2009: giving intermediaries easy access to the range of products we provide and the ability to compare the market offering efficiently. Competitiveness, compliance, and transparency are central not only to our business, but to many of the intermediaries we work with. We believe that UPOS will help us ensure that our high standards in these areas are met.”
