INSTANDA, a no-code insurance platform provider, has partnered with DataCrest, a workflow solutions firm, to enhance submission intake and quoting efficiency for insurers and MGAs.
The partnership will give INSTANDA users access to DataCrest’s AppEase solution, which is designed to automate submission intake and improve underwriting workflows, according to FF News.
According to the companies, the integration can reduce quote turnaround times from hours to minutes, increase quote volumes by up to 25% and cut outsourcing requirements by as much as 76%.
The collaboration aims to streamline the early stages of the underwriting process by improving data quality and reducing manual administration.
Derek Hill, co-founder and global CRO at INSTANDA, said, “By integrating with DataCrest to automate submissions intake, INSTANDA is setting a new benchmark for intelligent quoting efficiency.
“This innovative integration radically reduces time spent on quote generation, enabling carriers and MGAs to scale output with transformative efficiency, providing a superior customer experience. INSTANDA’s new partnership with DataCrest demonstrates our commitment to provide our customers with exceptional agility and proven solutions they need to help us redefine the future of insurance.”
DataCrest’s platform combines AI, human review and intelligent document processing to help insurers automate submission intake and accelerate underwriting decisions.
Tom Young, CEO of DataCrest, said, “The partnership with INSTANDA improves KPIs for our mutual carrier and MGA clients. That is most important. It enables them to streamline their applications and submission intake to quote quicker and reduce administrative waste, while writing more accounts that are better risks.
“With INSTANDA’s innovative platform and DataCrest’s industry expertise, clients are poised to exceed their goals and improve their agents and insured’s experience.”
The partnership reflects a broader trend across the insurance sector, where carriers and MGAs are adopting automation and AI-driven tools to improve efficiency, reduce costs and scale underwriting operations.
