Sircon for Carriers

Vertafore is focused exclusively on the insurance industry and all products were developed from the ground up to meet the specific needs of insurance stakeholders they serve; therefore, all development dollars are focused on expanding capabilities that are important to our industry. The Sircon portfolio of products (Onboarding & Self-Service, Producer Central, and Compensation) is the only end-to-end solution that is solely insurance focused. Sircon regulatory expertise and knowledge is maintained in our solutions by our Regulatory Compliance Services team; other providers put the burden of managing regulatory rules and maintenance to their customers.

Producer credential management: A single central vault for up-to-date producer credential and relationship data, along with the ability to submit regulatory transactions electronically, one at a time or in batch, with up-front validation and pre-population in all U.S. jurisdictions.

Producer sales authorization engine: A built-in compliance rules engine that verifies producers have the right credentials and relationships to sell, and automatically corrects failures. Sircon experts maintain the constant changes in rules and regulations so you don't have to.

Producer compensation tools: Centralized system that operationalizes producer compensation by managing unlimited commission schedules, transactions, and producers, including unlimited and complex hierarchies.

Onboarding automation: Onboarding process that helps automate much of the compliance and compensation processes, including organization of producer hierarchy relationships.

Agent self-service portal: A producer portal that provides self-service functionality for increased agent accessibility and transparency, including the ability to: (1) review their personal information, (2) check compliance status and licensing information, (3) complete onboarding interviews online, (4) view compensation statements and progress towards incentives, and so much more.

Over the past 20 years, Vertafore’s Sircon Solutions has been the industry innovation leader and created the most complete, cloud-based suite of integrated, end-to-end insurance licensing and compliance products and services available anywhere.
