WoodmenLife Launches Unified Selling Experience for Agents with iPipeline

Written by iPipeline on . Posted in Press & News.

Illustrations Integrator and e-App Implementations Streamline and Accelerate Sales Process

EXTON, PA (November 19, 2019) – iPipeline® – a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for the life insurance and financial services industry – today announced WoodmenLife has implemented iPipeline’s Illustration Integrator® with iGO® e-App to provide its sales representatives with a unified selling experience.

iPipeline’s Illustration Integrator allows WoodmenLife’s reps to enjoy an automated selling experience by re-using external calculations to generate an illustration PDF, which is sent directly to iGO e-App for agent use. WoodmenLife is also using the disconnected option to improve rep mobility and support the selling process in the field. Address and bank validation options help to achieve a high rate of applications in Good Order.

“The ability to leverage existing illustration investments offers new efficiencies to carriers and their agents. In this instance, via WoodmenLife’s Web services, we accessed their existing illustration system and used resident data to generate an illustration PDF for integration with iGO e-App,” said Larry Berran, CEO, iPipeline. “Given the persistently low interest rates, carriers are seeking to lower costs, improve agent productivity, and grow. The combination of Illustration Integrator with our e-App represents just one example of how iPipeline is providing carriers with flexible solutions to reduce NIGO rates and the number of paper applications submitted by agents while optimizing their existing illustration investments.”

“After considering a range of options, our decision to implement iPipeline’s solution was based on their extensive industry experience and solid record of success in helping other carriers to achieve new efficiencies by reducing NIGOs to increase policy placements,” said Denise McCauley, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, WoodmenLife. “With the help of iPipeline, the recent launch of our My Choice IUL™ product was highly successful and is already producing positive returns. This project has allowed WoodmenLife to offer an IUL application experience that is 100% digital. iPipeline has delivered a level of flexibility and value, which is not easily matched in this marketplace.”

SBLI Simplifies Accelerated Underwriting Program with iPipeline

Written by iPipeline on . Posted in Press & News.

EXTON, PA (July 9th, 2019) – iPipeline® – a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for the life insurance and financial services industry – today announced SBLI (The Savings Bank Mutual Life Insurance Company of Massachusetts) has implemented iGO® Drop Ticket to simplify its Accelerated Underwriting program for independent agents and their customers. Over 250 distributors are currently participating in SBLI’s program.

iGO Drop Ticket is an intelligent, rules-based short form, used by producers and call center support staff for insurance application processing. iGO Drop Ticket runs on iPipeline’s SSG Digital platform, which integrates directly with over 1,350 websites within the U.S.

“The complexities of selling life insurance are vast and contribute to the high number of underinsured in the U.S. Between state regulations, numerous product options, and thousands of forms, selling this important part of a family’s financial future isn’t always easy,” said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. “iGO Drop Ticket removes these barriers by simplifying what agents need to submit to a carrier to get the job done.”

“Agents send the ticket and the accompanying data directly to the carrier’s call center system, freeing them to concentrate on selling more while the center handles behind-the-scenes processing,” added Wallace. “This means more commissions for agents, better efficiency at call centers, and faster policy issuance for families seeking coverage. We are pleased to be a part of SBLI’s Accelerated Underwriting program.”

“The industry averages around 30 days for the issuance of life insurance after the application is submitted, and this is just too long for our customers. By expanding our drop ticket coverage to include iPipeline customers, we are increasing the opportunity for producers to submit business to SBLI more easily. Additionally, by using our award-winning Accelerated Underwriting program for agents and their consumers with iGO Drop Ticket, more than half of our Accelerated Underwriting decisions can be made in five days or less for up to $500K in coverage,” said Denis Clifford, SVP, Chief Distribution Officer, SBLI. “This program is being made available to all consumers and distributors, regardless of the risk class, to simplify and speed processing. We are excited to be able to more rapidly insure families seeking affordable protection with the help of iPipeline’s innovations.”

iPipeline Launches iGO Link for Digitized Paper

Written by iPipeline on . Posted in Press & News.

EXTON, PA (October 9th, 2018) – iPipeline® – a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for the life insurance and financial services industry – today announced the launch of iGO Link. iGO® Link,an iPipeline innovation, is the “missing link” in the life insurance industry’s new business application process. It allows agents to complete a paper application while leveraging all the benefits derived from iGO e-App for straight-through processing speed. iGO e-App® is the most widely used wizard within the North American insurance industry for the processing of digital applications.

“We are extremely pleased to bring this innovation to the life insurance industry. Despite the move toward digitization within the industry, paper applications are still being submitted by agents and processed in abundance. The use of paper adds enormously to processing costs, introduces errors, leads to delays and cycle time, and results all too often in lost business,” said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. “The good news is iGO Link solves the problem and is already in use with a top 10 U.S. life insurance carrier.iGO e-App customers already have the majority of what they need in place. Future iGO e-App customers can simply add iGO Link as a powerful capability in their end-to-end digital strategy.”

“Agent behavior is very difficult to change. What is unique about iGO Link is its ability to easily digitize, correct and process a paper application to produce an in Good Order application without changing the agent’s preferred submission method. We use machine learning to convert the paper app to XML data, without data entry, and produce an iGO e-App,” said Bill Atlee, Chief Strategy Officer, iPipeline.“Agents can still complete a paper application and then electronically clean and e-Submit it for accelerated, straight-through processing. The gains are enormous. Carriers can also leverage their existing iGO e-App infrastructure to now achieve 100% agent adoption. iGO Link has the potential to deliver a rapid and substantial ROI to insurers using this innovation.”

iPipeline is focused on delivering industry innovations to enable end-to-end digitization for business velocity. To reimagine how you do business and schedule an iGO Link demonstration, contact marketing@ipipeline.com today.
