Solutions for the Insurance Broker

The challenge for insurance brokers and risk management consultants in today’s business environment is maintaining and growing their competitive advantage. It you are a broker, you will recognise these problems:

• How to differentiate my services from those of my competitors and to demonstrate the difference to the client.
• Adding perceived value to my client services without also adding substantial cost
• Meeting underwriter demands for more information without spending a lot more time
• Managing renewals information that is highly fragmented across thousands of emails and hard copy documents stored in different places
• Presenting my client to the market in the most professional manner
• Obtaining the best available premium and terms for my client

The ReSure ® solution addresses all of these problems

ReSure was developed primarily for risk managers looking for a simple, cost effective solution to the many problems encountered in collecting, managing and distributing risk exposure and asset values information. It’s important for you to understand how ReSure does this, so we suggest you read about solutions for the risk manager before proceeding further.

How to differentiate my services from those of my competitors and to demonstrate the difference to the client
Because ReSure is a novel concept, brokers who use it and support it will be seen as different from the rest. ReSure is more than just words about better service – it is a tangible web-based product whose benefits can be readily demonstrated. Clients understand that you are using state of the art technology to achieve your organisation’s goals of providing them superior service and advice, together with the best insurance terms and price.

Adding perceived value to my client services without also adding substantial cost
The value obtained from using ReSure to manage your clients’ renewal processes is immediate. For the client, it means less work needs to be done each year, yet the outcome is better. For the broker, it means that much of the time consuming, error prone manual collating and publishing of renewals information disappears forever. Moreover, there is no risky capital investment in hardware and software – just a modest fee for the web service.

Meeting underwriter demands for more information without spending a lot more time
ReSure contains a series of templates – we call them Risk Classes – that allow you to add, remove or change the data that is collected. When you alter a Risk Class template, the changes refect immediately throughout the entire system, so you don’t need to re-design data collection forms or reports. Risk Class templates can also contain business rules that enhance the quality of the data collected (eg making a comparison between this years and last years and last values and waring if they are outside a specified range) as well as definitions and examples to assist the user.

Managing renewals information that is highly fragmented across thousands of emails and hard copy documents stored in different places
Rather than simplifying information storage and retrieval, today’s email systems often make it more difficult by fragmenting the information. ReSure changes the information model to a database where each piece of information is stored once only, but can be shared by all of the parties involved. Its simple, secure and inexpensive.

Presenting my client to the market in the most professional manner
The data that can be obtained from ReSure is the starting point for preparing a professional underwriting submission. The data is complete, accurate and up to date. You can obtain hard copy reports direct from the system, or easily download the data into the analysis and reporting tools that you are familiar with, such as Excel or Access. It you have more specialised analysis and information needs, our consultants can work with you to develop custom solutions.

Obtaining the best available premium and terms for my client
If you ReSure, you can concentrate on using your negotiating skills, knowing that everything possible has been done to provide insurance underwriters with the information they need to offer your client the best available deal.
