Great American announces expansion of digital insurance platform

Great American Insurance Group has announced that it has expanded PolicySweet, a digital insurance platform for small commercial customers. The insurer’s new PolicySweet for Agents allows independent agents to provide live bindable commercial quotes directly from their agency website.

Customers who prefer online shopping can secure coverage from a computer or mobile device, enabling agents to be open for business 24/7, Great American said.

“Simply put, PolicySweet for Agents is a game-changer,” said Rich Suter, divisional president of Great American Alternative Markets. “We are excited to help retail agents keep up with the digital revolution. Online shoppers do not want to fill out a form and wait to hear back. They want an immediate, bindable quote. PolicySweet for Agents is an embedded, co-branded quoting experience right on the agency’s website for workers’ compensation, business owners and HomeHQ (home-based business) coverages.”

PolicySweet for Agents users have dashboard access to track and view the status of quotes in real time, Great American said. PolicySweet offers competitive commissions and has no access fees.
