New York, NY – July 29, 2011 – SeaPass Solutions, Inc. (insuranceconnect.seapass.com), a leading independent provider of web-based insurance distribution solutions to the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry, today announced that Insurance Noodle, a unit of Willis North America, a unit of Willis Group Holdings the global insurance broker, has added over 1,000 agencies to the SeaPass quoting hub in the first three weeks following the July 5th launch.
The added agencies represent nearly 3,000 individual users. Known as Insurance Noodle 2.0, the operating platform is built for speed of access and processing – even signing up for Insurance Noodle membership is completely online, allowing agents to review, agree, and electronically sign the membership agreement to begin quoting accounts within a matter of minutes. The membership agreement provides for the agent’s connection to Insurance Noodle’s national, admitted carriers as well as the SeaPass technology platform which provides immediate bindable quotes and includes automatic transfer of eligible submissions to a wholesaler for quick E&S quotes when admitted quotes are not available.
“This milestone validates the ease of use of the platform and the sign up process. Once agencies join, they are pleasantly surprised at how quickly they can be up and running with on-line, real-time access to commercial lines quoting,” said Tim Attia, Senior Vice President of Sales for SeaPass. Immediate quoting for personal lines accounts is on track for availability by year end.
With Insurance Noodle, the control and ownership of the business remains with the agent and all agencies are eligible for profit sharing for reaching production thresholds. “Insurance Noodle 2.0 allows agencies to process small commercial accounts within minutes – not days, or even hours – which is dramatically different from their past experience,” said Andy Wood, Executive Vice President of Insurance Noodle. “Not only are bindable quotes delivered almost immediately, they include total account solutions including Business Owners Policies, Package, Auto, Work Comp and Professional Lines such as E&O, D&O and EPL. An agency can literally use Insurance Noodle as their single source of markets for their small commercial accounts.”
