Mercury Insurance recently launched "AgentCenter," a new point of sale software for its agents in California. AgentCenter is designed to accelerate their time from quote to bound policies. AgentCenter web-based software was developed in-house at Mercury with a cross-functional team - including agent experience, sales development, underwriting, claims, IT and independent agents - to create the industry's most intuitive point of sale system.

The system benefits agents with new features that include: Little-to-no training needed by agent staff due to intuitive navigation; Pre-populated third-party reports and data; If the quoted rate changes, agents will know why and how on one easy-to-read screen; One-screen workflows for simple policy updates; Ability to view vehicle coverages side-by-side on a single screen; and Significant time savings for quote to bound policies. Agent Center streamlines the policy quote and bind process, reducing the time it takes to write a new policy by at least 60%. The web-based platform was designed to allow for quick updates due to regulatory changes and new Mercury product offerings.
