RQB runs quoting, bind, issuance documents, and renewals for MGAs, wholesalers, and carriers. Surefyre focuses on configurable form workflows for quoting.
RQB is a multi line quoting platform for MGAs, carriers, and wholesalers with quote to bind to issue and renewal workflows in one system. Typical pilot is 8 to 12 weeks and full implementations about three months depending on carriers and programs.
Surefyre is a configurable workflow and form engine used to collect data and quote. Bind, issuance, and renewals are handled in other systems or custom processes.
