Quoting insurance shouldn’t be a hassle. Stop wasting time on manual data entry and outdated systems. With Canopy Connect and PL Rating, you can revolutionize your workflow, slashing quoting time and eliminating inefficiencies. For the modern customer, speed is everything—stay ahead of the competition with this game-changing duo. Why settle for less when you can work smarter?

Simplifying Client Information Collection

Here’s a reality check: the more time clients spend filling out forms, the more likely they are to bail. Enter Canopy Connect—a tool that makes data collection so fast and easy that your clients won’t have to think twice.

With Canopy Connect, you can skip the back-and-forth emails and endless follow-ups. Clients simply share their existing insurance details in a few clicks, and you get all the information you need, instantly. No more waiting, no more chasing, and definitely no more lost opportunities because a client got tired of your process.

But it’s not just about speed—it’s about increasing your closing rate. The easier you make it for clients, the more likely they are to follow through. Would you rather have clients breeze through the information-sharing process, or lose them because your forms take forever?

Canopy Connect doesn’t just help your workflow; it improves the client experience. And when your clients are happy, they’re more likely to stick around—and bring their business with them.

Automating Data Entry and Client Setup

Manual data entry? It’s the stone age of insurance operations. If you’re still typing in client details one by one, you’re wasting your time. This is where Canopy Connect steps in and changes the game. It’s like having a personal assistant that handles the repetitive work—only faster and without the mistakes.

Canopy Connect pulls in all the client’s insurance data automatically, so you don’t have to lift a finger. But the real magic happens when you pair it with PL Rating. Suddenly, you’ve got a system that doesn’t just collect data—it processes it, integrates it, and shoots it straight into your quoting software. By the time you’re ready to generate a quote, half the work is already done.

This isn’t just about saving time—it’s about accuracy. Manual entry leads to inevitable mistakes: typos, missed fields, and incorrect quotes. Automation eliminates these risks, delivering reliable, perfectly formatted data every time.

While others are slogging through data entry, you’re already onto the next prospect. When you can process more clients in less time, you’re working smarter. Canopy Connect and PL Rating take your workflow from efficient to unstoppable.

Enhancing Quoting Efficiency with PL Rating

Quoting is the backbone of your insurance business, and if it’s not lightning-fast, you’re losing out. Handling policies with multiple drivers and vehicles can turn into a nightmare if you’re stuck with manual processes. Enter PL Rating—a tool that transforms it into a streamlined, near-instantaneous operation.

Think about the typical quoting scenario: Six drivers, six vehicles, and a mountain of details to enter. Doing this manually isn’t just tedious—it’s a massive waste of time. By pulling in the data from Canopy Connect, PL Rating automates the process, spitting out accurate, comprehensive quotes in minutes.

Using the right tech stack is the the difference between being average and being exceptional. If you’re quoting hundreds of prospects every month, those minutes saved per quote add up to hours—hours you can spend closing deals instead of typing away like it’s 1999.

PL Rating uses the detailed information you’ve already gathered to generate quotes that are spot-on from the get-go. This level of accuracy is crucial. One wrong entry, and you could end up with a quote that’s off by a mile, or worse, a client that walks away. PL Rating takes what used to be a time-consuming grind and turns it into a seamless, efficient process.

The Power of Integration: Combining Systems for Maximum Efficiency

Having the right tools is just the start—they need to work together. Integrating Canopy Connect, PL Rating, and your systems unlocks their full potential. It’s not about more tools but the right ones working seamlessly to eliminate inefficiencies and drive your business forward.

Imagine this: A prospect fills out a Canopy Connect form, and in the blink of an eye, their data is automatically fed into PL Rating. But it doesn’t stop there. That same information flows directly into your CRM and agency management system, building a complete client profile.

Why is integration critical? Every second spent on manual data entry is a second lost on closing deals. With Canopy Connect and PL Rating, you eliminate tedious tasks, creating a seamless system where everything works—no double-entry, no discrepancies, no headaches.

This integration adapts to your needs, whether pulling license numbers via CRQ or syncing with your agency management system. It’s fast, accurate, and automatic, building a scalable, error-free workflow. Remeber, good integrations simplify and improve your work. Bad integrations cost you time and money.

The Future of Insurance Quoting Is Now

If you’re not using Canopy Connect and PL Rating together, you’re falling behind. Manual data entry, slow quoting, and disconnected systems are outdated—these tools are a must for staying competitive.

With faster client info collection, automatic data entry, and quotes in minutes, the real difference comes from integration. Connecting Canopy Connect and PL Rating with your CRM and agency management system creates a smooth, error-free process that saves time and keeps clients happy.

The real question is: how soon can you get them up and running? Every day you wait is a day your competition pulls ahead. The future of quoting is here—time to get on board and lead the way.
