Barton Mutual Implements BindExpress Portal

Barton Mutual Group has implemented SpeedBuilder Systems’ BindExpress underwriting and rating platform.

SpeedBuilder says the portal offers sales-enhancing, Rate-As-You-Go screens that help agents provide real-time counsel to insureds, displaying total policy premium and individual prices at each coverage level during the quote entry process. BindExpress Underwriting powers the portal’s once-and-done processing for American Association of Insurance Services rates and rules, according to SpeedBuilder.

“SBS delivered more functionality than we requested, but completed the project in about 12 weeks and 17% under budget,” says Joel Dermott, CIO of Barton Mutual Group. “That’s proof positive that the BindExpress Suite, with its hundreds of external configuration settings, does indeed reduce programming time and cost. We expect this savings to reduce future maintenance and enhancement costs.”
