Agency Connectivity Services
Real Time
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:
- Policy, billing and claims inquiries for personal and commercial
lines
- Endorsements for personal lines
- Loss run inquiry for commercial lines
- First notice of loss
- Rating
- Carrier sign-on
EMC agents can
login to learn more about the real time functions available.
