How a Mid Sized P&C Agency Improved Renewal Visibility and Workflow Clarity

A case study in replacing AMS360 with a modern agency management system.

Key Metrics:

Agency Overview

This independent P&C agency operates across commercial and personal lines with a focus on small business accounts.

The agency works with:

Growth over five years resulted in increasing policy volume and expanding market relationships. As the team added producers and service staff, workflow coordination became more complex.

The Operational Challenge

Renewal Visibility Issues

Renewals were technically tracked in AMS360 but required reports and manual review cycles to maintain visibility. Ownership and prioritization were not continuously visible.

Multi Market Coordination Strain

Commercial accounts often involved multiple markets. Managing policies across carriers and MGAs required navigating separate modules and attachments.

Spreadsheet Reliance

The team relied on spreadsheets to monitor renewal status and upcoming expirations, particularly during high volume periods.

Manual Commission Tracking

Commission reconciliation required manual review against policy records and external reports.

Workflow Complexity

Routine servicing tasks required multiple screens and structured navigation. As policy volume increased, friction became more visible.

Why the Agency Considered Replacing Their Agency Management System

Growth exposed strain within the existing system.

Leadership began evaluating whether their agency management system was absorbing growth or exposing it.

They:

The evaluation focused on renewal visibility multi market workflow and lifecycle clarity.

Implementation and Transition

The agency completed transition in eight weeks.

Data Migration

Core policy and client data were migrated into the new system with validation checks.

Team Adoption

Because workflows were simplified and renewal visibility improved, adoption occurred quickly. Concerns around transition risk were addressed through staged implementation and workflow testing.

User Onboarding

Producers and service staff were onboarded in phased sessions to minimize disruption.

Timeline:

  • Week 1 to 3 data preparation
  • Week 4 to 6 configuration and validation
  • Week 7 to 8 team rollout

Results After Implementation

Renewal Visibility Improvements

Renewals became continuously visible without spreadsheets. Ownership and status were tracked directly inside the system.

Reduced Workflow Steps

Routine servicing required fewer navigation steps. Policies renewals documents and actions remained connected.

Unified Multi Market Policy Management

Policies across carriers wholesalers and MGAs lived together with consistent lifecycle tracking.

Commission Tracking Clarity

Commission visibility remained tied to policy lifecycle stages reducing reconciliation effort.

Team Productivity

Service staff reported clearer prioritization during renewal cycles. Producers gained better visibility into account status.

Measurable Operational Impact

Operational complexity decreased even as policy volume continued to grow.
