Dovetail launches next-gen platform for the small commercial insurance market
September 3, 2020
Dovetail, a leading digital MGA in the small commercial insurance market, today announced the launch of Dovetail for Agents, a next-generation quote, bind, and issue platform for independent agents in the US. Dovetail is part of Victor Insurance Holdings, the global managing general underwriter.
Since launching one of the first multi-carrier, multi-product technology platforms for the independent agent channel in 2006, Dovetail has remained focused on making the procurement of small commercial insurance easy and efficient for insurance agents and their small business clients. Dovetail for Agents continues this commitment by providing agents a new intuitive user interface, real-time quotes, end-to-end quote, bind, and policy issuance, and access to top insurance carriers.
AmTrust Financial Services, Inc., a multinational property/casualty insurance company, is the first carrier to be offering insurance, in this case workers’ compensation, on the platform. Other new and existing carrier partners on Dovetail’s legacy platform will be on-boarded in the coming months. The new platform, which is 100% API-enabled and powered by Marsh’s Bluestream cloud-based technology, makes it easy for carriers to add products.
Once fully populated, small commercial agents will be able to access business owners policies, workers’ compensation, general liability, professional liability, commercial auto, and umbrella policies from a stable of top-rated insurance carriers, for their small commercial clients.
“Dovetail for Agents reaffirms our commitment to the independent agent channel and was created with the agent firmly at the center of the platform’s design and functionality,” said Mike Ferber, CEO of Dovetail. “It was important for us to come out of the gate with a strong, national offering, which AmTrust provides, and we plan to keep the momentum going with more new carriers and products in the near future.”
