Source Insurance cuts quote time

Published on

Source Insurance has launched a new question set to help brokers speed up their quote journey.

The firm said it offers brokers the ability to do a whole-of-market general insurance quotation “in record time”, without sacrificing the depth of cover.

Brian Coulton, head of intermediary at the Source, said: “We are in the age of speed where everyone wants everything straight away and insurance is no different. Just like in the days of the cold war there seems to be a space race in GI to get the quickest quote solution out there.

“Source have, in the past looked at things like quick quote to get an indicative price. However, found that due to the complex nature of how insurers risk properties the pricing was often unreliable compared to the final price, so set about solving the problem of creating an accurate whole-of-market quotation in record time.

“Over the past year we have taken a lot of feedback from our brokers regarding what developments they wanted to see and one of the major themes was trying to speed up the quote journey without compromising on the depth and quality of the cover we offer, we think we have achieved that.

“Our user testing has gone well and we are now rolling out the development to all of the brokers who use our platform but we have built in a toggle feature allowing the broker to switch to the classic view if they want to.”
