In the olden days (approximately 1997) the spreadsheet was king. It enjoyed an undisputed reign for decades across most industries where large amounts of data had to be recorded, tracked, and compared. But like the British rule of the 13 colonies, nothing lasts forever.
If you’re still living under the tyrannical rule of spreadsheets or other cumbersome insurance technology, there’s no better time to declare your independence. If your business is still dictated by manual data entry and inhibited by workflow silos, vive la résistance!
The benefits of modernizing your insurtech
If the sheer feeling of freedom from the shackles of spreadsheets isn’t enough of a reason, there are plenty of other benefits to upgrading your producer compliance management process with a modern solution.
Would your insurance organization like to reduce errors that come with manual data entry? How about putting your staff to better use than chasing producer onboarding paperwork for weeks or months? There are so many benefits to modernizing producer licensing and compliance management, it’s hard to know where to begin.
With a digital compliance management solution (like AgentSync, just saying…) producers can get onboarded and ready to sell as quickly as the same day you hire them. In a world where it often takes weeks or over a month to get producers ready to sell, that’s a huge competitive advantage. Compliance staff can spend their time on higher-level tasks while software does the heavy lifting. And you can use your high-tech and user-friendly onboarding and compliance management system as a selling point for new producers as you compete for talent with every other insurance carrier and agency.
On top of these benefits, modernizing your insurtech can reduce or eliminate some of the leading causes of frustration: data and workflow silos. How many times has a process been slowed down because the right person couldn’t access the right information at the right time? Or because they weren’t certain the information they could access was timely and accurate? Or because different teams performed the same functions in different ways, without communicating with each other?
A modern tech solution does more than just streamline your producer licensing and compliance process. It provides a single source of truth for employees across the organization and allows you to standardize workflows across teams. Yes, these things are great for business outcomes (growth, profit, sales goals, etc.), but creating an exceptional employee experience is a not-insignificant side effect of modernizing your tech stack.
Why is now the time to modernize your insurtech?
Like investing for retirement, the best time to modernize your insurtech was yesterday. The next-best time to modernize your insurtech is now!
When your organization is beholden to legacy tech systems and manual, repetitive processes it’s costing you more than you realize.

Just a few of these costs include:
- Inefficient or wasted human effort that’s also prone to human error
- Staff who spend time on non-revenue-generating tasks when they could be selling or supporting sales and client retention
- Recruiting, retaining, and re-recruiting employees who want a more modern experience than you’re offering
- Compliance risks that arise when you rely on manual processes to enforce producer license compliance, license renewals, and continuing education
- Security risks of having largely unstructured data
- Paying fees for carrier appointments for producers who actually don’t need them
