Reduce Data Entry with Streamlined Smart Questionnaires
Appulate’s questionnaires with the release of Appulate 11 provide more clarity and precision by eliminating irrelevant questions and focusing on only the aspects markets require of the insured. Newly implemented questionnaires allow faster quoting while continuing to reduce data entry by allowing the agents to engage the Insured in data collection via the reverse portal.

We have always had a world-class engineering team, but the latest result is a collaboration between them and true insurance industry experts that we brought on board only recently. Our newly revamped platform will serve as a solid foundation we intend to continue building upon to serve our Retail Agent, Wholesaler, MGA, and Carrier customers alike.” – Dimitri Nikouline – Chief Technology Officer.

This is only the first iteration of much more to come for the insured portal.
