Selective Adds Commercial Quote Request to TransactNOW

Windsor, CT — Selective Insurance has added commercial quote request to its existing TransactNOW implementation. The new business bridge enables any AMS management system customer to use TransactNOW to submit new business data to Selective where they can complete the transaction. Since May 2004, AMS agents representing Selective have been using TransactNOW for personal and commercial lines inquiries and Carrier Passport. Commercial endorsement processing was added in November, 2004. Adding the quote request provides significant time savings for independent insurance agencies processing business with Selective Insurance.

TransactNOW enables AMS management system customers to process business transactions with carriers via a real-time single-entry workflow, without having to leave their system. Initially launched with billing and claim inquiries, AMS has added policy view inquiries, Carrier Passport, real-time endorsements, quote-and-issue and much, much more. Carrier Passport enables users to go directly from the TransactNOW inquiry to the full spectrum of functionality available through the carrier's Web site without manually having to open up a new browser window.

Since its launch early in 2003, more than 4,000 agencies are actively using TransactNOW. TransactNOW uses ACORD® standards and XML technology to integrate carrier Web site functionality into agency management system workflow. This means transactions and carriers can be rapidly added, and agents can rapidly deploy. Developed in close cooperation with The AMS Users' Group, TransactNOW is available to agencies using all AMS management system products. For further information, contact AMS at iisg@amsworld.com.
