Cutting Through the Hype: Why Selectsys Outperforms Federato in Real-World Underwriting
Insurance technology is full of orchestration tools and AI promises – but few platforms deliver real operational control.
Federato positions itself as the “AI future” of underwriting, but like most orchestration platforms, it focuses on visibility, not execution.
Selectsys bridges that gap – turning AI insights into real-world outcomes through automation, quoting, issuance, servicing, and accounting in one connected ecosystem.

From Orchestration to Execution
Most underwriting platforms visualize workflows – they show you what’s happening.
Selectsys actually runs them.
Federato uses AI to route submissions and display appetite rules.
Selectsys’s AI goes further – reading inbound emails, extracting data from PDFs, and pre-filling quote fields through RQB. Once quotes are bound, Expert Insured (EI) handles policy issuance, servicing, billing, and reconciliation automatically.
It’s the difference between seeing your workflow and running your business.

Why MGAs and Carriers Choose Selectsys
1. AI That Executes, Not Just Routes
Federato uses AI for orchestration; Selectsys uses it for execution – reading, classifying, and processing submissions automatically to create live quotes via RQB.
2. One Ecosystem, Not a Patchwork of Tools
Where most platforms rely on external integrations, Selectsys unifies RQB, Expert Insured, and automation modules into one connected environment.
No handoffs. No multiple logins. No missed steps.
3. Designed for Delegated Authority
Selectsys supports endorsement handling, program business, multi-carrier workflows, and bordereaux.
It’s purpose-built for MGAs and carriers who run delegated authority, not just analyze risk.
4. Real Features, Not Just Terms
Concepts like RiskOps or Agentic AI are valuable, but they still require external systems to transact.
Selectsys includes the full stack – policy administration, rating, quoting, billing, and analytics – ready to use out of the box.
5. Operation Over Integration
Where orchestration platforms end with dashboards, Selectsys completes the cycle – from submission intake to reconciliation – with audit trails, SLA metrics, and built-in accuracy checks.
