The surety industry is poised to change. Will you be able to keep up?

Technology has changed the fundamental way of doing business, putting the surety industry on the precipice of embracing the digital age.

With virtual meetings becoming the new norm, surety underwriters are struggling through their task list, trying to maintain meaningful relationships, and simultaneously keeping their finger on the pulse of the entire industry.

An automated solution can help jump-start your transformation and improve efficiency, communication, and collaboration.

Monitor contractors’ financials and performance and get instant insights into portfolio risks.

Relying on the past won’t help you prepare for the future.

Risk assessments that use the past performance of a contractor carry less weight than ever. It has become increasingly important to look at current trends and compare peer groups to assess inherent risk.

From this vantage point, successful companies can identify key insights they need to manage underwriting risk now – and in the future.

And that’s how you start to underwrite the value of automation.

The first step to growth and sustainability is identifying where you can automate, eliminate, and streamline.

Many underwriting decisions might be automatic within your company guidelines. They’re based on the historic relationship you have with a contractor, along with the size and nature of the guarantee.

But the art of underwriting – and your greatest risk and opportunity – likely comes with analysis and decisions that fall outside these guidelines.

This is where your underwriters make decisions to either position your company to succeed or hinder it from assuming the right risks to achieve growth.

 

 

 

Your 99 strong underwriting decisions can be undone by a single mistake.

Give your underwriters time to make more thoughtful decisions. You can free them from manual financial data collection and entry and provide them with analysis-ready reports and peer comparisons that offer new insights into critical underwriting decisions.

Here’s how we can help your organization stay one step ahead:
