RQB vs PL Rating: One platform for personal and commercial quoting

RQB supports MGA, carrier, wholesaler, and agency workflows across commercial and personal lines with quote to bind, issuance, and renewals. PL Rating focuses on personal lines quoting for retail agents.

RQB integrates with Expert Insured Forms System backed by a forms engine for bind and document generation.

RQB is a multi line quoting platform for MGAs, carriers, wholesalers, and agents with integrated bind, forms, and renewals via Expert Insured. Typical full implementation is about three months depending on carrier connections, lines, and environments.

PL Rating is a personal lines quoting platform for retail agents. Commercial depth and post quote workflows depend on other systems.
