AVYST Partners With NIICA to Offer Its Members eForms Wizard
Nationwide agents to benefit from free Gold Subscription through year-end 2019
DALLAS, Texas, September 12, 2019 (Newswire.com) - AVYST, a provider of sales and risk management solutions for independent insurance agents, brokers and their trading partners, announced that it will provide members of the Nationwide Insurance Independent Contractors Association (“NIICA”) with complimentary access to eForms Wizard Gold through Dec. 31, 2019.
“AVYST is pleased to provide this powerful tool to Nationwide agents who are transitioning to the independent agent channel,” said AVYST CEO, Marc Still. “By using eForms Wizard, NIICA members will be able to more quickly and efficiently get their submissions to market, close more business and grow their practices.”
In 2017, a group of insurance industry veterans and investors released AVYST’s eForms Wizard. eForms Wizard eliminates the numerous manual and paper-based steps in marketing and point-of-sale processes for agents, carriers, MGAs and wholesalers. In a short time, AVYST has forged strong relationships across the industry with a variety of MGAs, carriers, and associations including the National Association of Professional Insurance Agents (“PIA”), the Network of Vertafore Users (“NetVU”) and others. AVYST is also a member of the Vertafore Orange Partner program.
For over 30 years, NIICA has been the watchdog for Nationwide independent contractor (“IC”) agents. With the current transition of the Nationwide agents into the independent channel, NIICA provides its members with consistent updates concerning agent relations, industry news and guidance on how to operate a successful and profitable agency.
Thom Polvogt, NIICA President, noted, “The AVYST team will provide our members with solid insurance expertise as we learn the independent agent business. eForms Wizard is just one of many products that AVYST has developed that NIICA intends to leverage. Our members are thrilled to be involved with an organization like AVYST which has so many partnerships across the industry.”
“The AVYST eForms Wizard software has improved the productivity of our Commercial Team. We love that we can type directly into the correct forms during a client meeting, and then AVYST populates the other forms, which saves us time,” according to Jennifer Ober, Director of Corporate Affairs at Caleb Insurance Group. “There is no time spent trying to decipher handwritten notes, so we are able to get to market much quicker, which is great for our bottom line!”
In addition to extending complimentary access to eForms Wizard Gold to NIICA members through the end of the year, AVYST invites all Nationwide agents to take advantage of this offer. Nationwide agents who are not part of NIICA may sign up at www.avyst.com/partnerships/niica/.
