About this list
Independent insurance agencies spend a lot of the day on the phone and chasing quotes. The 7 tools here take on parts of that work.
For calls, Agency Call Answerer (SUPERAGENT) answers agency calls and types in quote details while you talk. For quotes, Carrier Follow-Up Agent (Handle) sends quotes to carriers, follows up on its own and sorts the replies. Quote Comparison Helper (Outmarket AI) compares commercial quotes and policies and builds proposals.
For prospects, Quote Follow-Up Bot follows up on every quote and makes a task when the customer wants a call. AgencyZoom runs a sales pipeline with auto follow-up for leads and renewals.
Two are bigger systems. HawkSoft is an agency management system for independent P&C agencies. Agency How-To Coach answers staff how-to questions inside Vertafore’s AMS360 or Sagitta, so it’s only for agencies already on Vertafore.
Only AgencyZoom and Outmarket show a price in our listings. The rest say to check the maker’s site. Hours saved, where shown, come from each tool’s own case study, so treat them as the maker’s claim.
