A case study in reducing workflow friction and gaining operational clarity with a modern agency management system.

Producers and service staff lacked a shared real time view of renewal status and account lifecycle.
Growth increased coordination requirements without improving workflow clarity.
Leadership recognized that their existing agency management system functioned primarily as a record repository. It stored policy data but did not simplify daily execution.
