By GlobalDataApplied Systems CEO Taylor Rhodes said: “In commercial lines today, the process for agencies and insurers to collect and receive data throughout the submission process is often very manual and disparate, creating friction, cost and lost sales opportunities.
“Applied’s investment in Indio is a major statement of our commitment to automating the commercial lines submission process and enabling agencies, brokers, insurers, and insureds to engage with each other and exchange data needed in the sales process more efficiently.”
Applied unit IVANS will use Indio to expand its data-sharing abilities and connect agencies and brokers to insurers.
IVANS will also utilise Indio’s know-how to automate information exchange during the submission process.
Indio CEO and co-founder Michael Furlong said: “Indio was founded on the belief that technology can make insurance processes faster and simpler while keeping customer experience as the number one priority for an agency.
“This acquisition will provide our customers and employees with access to new innovation, resources, and scale to further transform agencies’ and brokers’ daily workflows and accelerate business growth.”
