The Endorsement Lifecycle for Commercial Auto: From Email to Execution
Endorsements in Commercial Auto come fast and hit hard-new drivers, VIN swaps, limit changes, and proof-of-coverage requests are constant.
If you’re still reading inboxes manually, tracking changes on spreadsheets, and hoping the update gets processed before close of business, you’re risking errors, delays, and compliance breakdowns.
Selectsys handles the entire Commercial Auto endorsement lifecycle with AI routing + BPO execution inside your system.
1. What Makes Commercial Auto Endorsements So Complex?
| Factor | Why It’s a Problem |
| High change frequency | New vehicles, drivers, addresses |
| Time-sensitive COIs | Often required same day |
| Multiple carrier rules | Each with its own forms + appetite |
| Frequent mid-term updates | Non-renewal requests pile up |
| Manual task tracking | Easy to lose or delay execution |
2. Step-by-Step: Our Endorsement Lifecycle Model
Step 1: Email Intake (AI)
- Reads subject/body for terms like “Add driver,” “Remove unit,” “Limit increase”
- Extracts insured name, VIN, LOB
- Tags endorsement type (Driver/Vehicle/Other)
- Matches policy in AMS360, Epic, or EI
- Triggers task automatically
Step 2: BPO Task Execution
- Opens task
- Validates request: active policy, appropriate coverage
- Gathers necessary details (driver info, MVR, VINs, loss runs if needed)
- Updates record inside AMS
- Pushes to underwriter or carrier portal
- Triggers COI or confirms change
Step 3: Confirmation + Logging
- Task marked complete
- Email back to agent/broker/insured
- Change log stored in AMS with timestamp
- Optionally triggers audit or follow-up
