The Suite enables the carrier and channel to grow their books of business and cast a wider net to bring in new business: Carriers - Commercial- and specialty- lines insurers can provide better service that makes them the carrier of choice while increasing efficiency; lower the loss ratio by leveraging complete underwriting information, knowledge and rules; and scale the business with greater agility. The distribution channel - Agents, brokers, MGAs and MGUs gain greater productivity, increased responsiveness, and a higher win rate through the Suite's upload, STP, collaboration, and transparency features. A Suite of Collaborative Underwriting Applications Built on a modern architecture with common Web services, security, workflows, and integration toolkit, the modular applications of the FirstBest Front Office Suite work together seamlessly, enabling rapid deployment in different configurations.
