5 Ways to Speed Up Submissions & Appetite Checks

Submissions and appetite checks are often bottlenecks in underwriting. Slow intake leads to delayed quotes and lost business. Here are five proven ways MGAs can speed up the process.

1. Automate Submissions Intake

Route emails and PDFs directly into AMS with AI classification.

2. De-Duplicate Automatically

Flag duplicate submissions before they waste underwriter time.

3. Embed Appetite Rules

Apply carrier/program appetite logic in the platform to auto-approve or flag risks.

4. Automate Loss Run Tracking

Trigger and track loss run requests automatically.

5. Pre-Fill Quote Fields

Pre-populate forms to reduce manual data entry and shorten quote prep time.

Use Case Example

An MGA using Expert Insured cut submission turnaround from 72 hours to 12 hours and increased bind ratios by 20%.
