Technology for Insurance

An insurance team should know which client is waiting on a document, a quote, or a renewal.

Direct answer

Insurance operations slow down in the chase: missing documents, unanswered quotes, and renewals that depend on a diary. Sunbeam builds the workflow around that chase and a site that explains the next step. Policy administration stays in the insurer's system when that is where the policy actually lives.

Where the work breaks

The problems we expect to hear.

Leads and renewals are different piles

New enquiries, in-force clients and renewals are tracked by different people in different sheets. A client who is both a renewal and a new product enquiry gets two incomplete conversations.

Documents are requested more than once

KYC, proposal forms and medical papers move through email. A colleague cannot see what was already accepted. The client is asked again, and the application waits on a file the team already has.

The website does not prepare the enquiry

People arrive wanting to know who the cover is for and what to send. A page of product names pushes that work onto a phone call that starts from zero.

What we would build

A first system sized to the actual work.

  1. 01

    A client list with the next chase

    Enquiry, quoted, documents pending, submitted, issued, renewal due. The team works the list. The status is the work, not a label added afterwards.

  2. 02

    A document checklist per case

    What this product needs, what has arrived, and what was rejected, visible to anyone covering the case. Reminders refer to the missing items.

  3. 03

    A clear public explanation and enquiry path

    The site states the cover in language a buyer can use, and the enquiry creates a case rather than a loose email. It does not pretend to issue a policy the insurer's system must issue.

How the system has to behave

Practical constraints, decided before the build.

  • A status model the team agrees matches how a case really moves
  • Access appropriate to people who see client identity documents
  • A preference for connecting to an existing agency or insurer tool when it is the system of record

Answers that sit behind this work

FAQ

Questions from Insurance teams.

Can you build a CRM for an insurance team?

Yes, when the chase across email and sheets is the problem. If an existing agency platform already matches the process, we say so and look at the gap instead.

Can you automate renewal reminders?

Yes, for the renewals the team is responsible for contacting. The reminder is tied to a case someone owns, so a reply has a place to land.

Can you improve an insurance website?

Yes. The useful change is a clearer explanation and an enquiry that becomes a case, not a redesign that leaves the inbox as it was.
