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%.
