Compare Agency Management Systems for MGAs

Choosing the right Agency Management System (AMS) is one of the most important decisions for any MGA, carrier, or wholesaler building a modern insurance operation.

Different systems solve different problems. Some are built for retail agencies, others for large carriers, and a few for MGAs who need to manage delegated authority and carrier partnerships.

This comparison hub helps you evaluate your options and see how each platform performs in key areas such as quoting, policy management, integrations, and operations.

Use this guide to narrow your shortlist and find the system that fits your goals for Quote → Issue → Service.

Why This Comparison Matters

Most “agency systems” focus only on front-office tasks like contact management or accounting. MGAs and delegated carriers need more. They need technology that connects the entire lifecycle from submission intake and rating to issuance, renewals, and servicing.

This page gives you an objective view of how Expert Insured (by Selectsys) compares with other AMS and PAS platforms in the market.

Evaluation Framework

When comparing AMS platforms, focus on these categories:

Category What to Look For
Speed to Market Time to launch a new program or carrier connection
Multi-Carrier Rating Ability to quote across carriers without rekeying
Policy Lifecycle Endorsements, renewals, cancellations, and audit tracking
Delegated Authority Features Bordereaux, compliance, and carrier reporting
Operational Integration Ability to connect directly with servicing or BPO teams
Scalability Ease of adding new lines, carriers, and products
User Experience Simplicity for underwriters, brokers, and back-office teams
Data & Analytics Real-time insights into SLAs, hit ratios, and policy quality

Platform Notes

BindHQ: Broker oriented CRM built to manage pipelines, activities, and relationships. For MGA or carrier program operations it depends on external systems for quoting, policy administration, endorsements, billing, and certificates.

Expert Insured: Purpose built AMS for MGAs, wholesalers, and carriers. Unifies commercial quoting through RQB with full policy lifecycle, billing, reporting, and open integrations in one cloud hosted system.

Why Expert Insured Stands Out

Expert Insured combines three critical layers of the modern insurance stack:

  • RQB (Rate • Quote • Bind) for multi-carrier rating and API integration
  • Expert Insured AMS for full policy lifecycle management
  • Selectsys BPO Pods for operational execution inside your system

Together, these components form one connected platform that helps MGAs and carriers move from quote to issued policy in a single loop.
