Apps & Bits Before the rater
Capture intake, collect missing information, and structure quote requests.
Insurance quote automation for insurance agencies
Automate the quoting work that happens outside the rater
Apps & Bits helps independent insurance agencies automate quote intake, carrier portal workflows, document handling, AMS updates, and follow-up — without replacing your rater, AMS, or licensed team.
Built to work with your existing raters, carrier portals, AMS, email, phone, and document workflows.
The challenge
Quoting is still fragmented across too many systems
The rater is only one part of the workflow. Staff still chase information, move documents, re-enter data, check portals, update records, and follow up.
- Incomplete quote requests
- Information scattered across calls, email, forms, and PDFs
- Repeated data entry across raters, portals, and the AMS
- Status checks and follow-up buried in inboxes
The automation layer
Beyond the comparative rater
Comparative raters help agencies compare options across supported carriers. But many quoting workflows still happen outside the rater: collecting missing information, logging into carrier portals, uploading documents, checking quote status, downloading PDFs, updating the AMS, and following up with the prospect.
Apps & Bits automates the operational work around quoting, including browser-based workflows in carrier portals where APIs are limited or unavailable.
Around the rater
Prepare clean data, organize documents, and support submission workflows.
Inside carrier portals
Automate repeatable browser-based steps such as data entry, uploads, downloads, and status checks.
After the quote
Update systems, notify producers, and trigger follow-up.

Insurance agency browser automation
Automate carrier portal workflows where APIs are limited
APIs are ideal when carriers make them available. But many insurance workflows still happen inside browser-based portals. Apps & Bits can help automate repeatable portal steps while keeping your team in control of exceptions, review, and final decisions.
Portal tasks agencies still handle manually
- Log into carrier portals
- Re-enter applicant or risk information
- Upload supplemental documents
- Check quote or submission status

- Copy details back into the AMS
How Apps & Bits helps

Best fit
Who insurance quote automation is for
The best starting point is usually an agency workflow where staff repeatedly move quote information between intake, carrier portals, documents, raters, and the AMS.
Independent agencies with high quote volume
Teams using comparative raters but still handling manual portal work
Commercial lines teams managing supplements, documents, and carrier-specific steps
CSRs spending time on quote status checks, document handling, and AMS updates
Producers waiting on cleaner quote handoffs and follow-up
Human in the loop
