Real time is the ability to click on a button from a client file in your agency management system or comparative rater for immediate access to carrier information on that client. EMC partners with various agency management and comparative rating system providers to help our agents take advantage of real time. Agents using real time reduce duplicate entry, improve customer service response time, compete more effectively in the marketplace and take advantage of the agency’s existing tools. EMC currently offers the following real time capabilities:
EMC agents can login to learn more about the real time functions available.
Download enables the round trip of data back into the agency management system following a real time transaction. Commercial and personal policy download, claims and first notice of loss memos download, and direct bill statement download update your agency management system with the latest information. Download allows your agency to save time and money by eliminating duplicate entry, improving client file accuracy and taking advantage of the tools available.
