Brokers

Agricola’s online portfolio system provides brokers that register and utilise our facility with significant benefits and capabilities that translate directly into business efficiency and a clear competitive advantage in servicing their clients.

The brokers’ benefits

Our online portfolio system makes life easier by automating the logistics of delivering value to your clients and reducing the tedious aspects and response time of those items important to your business - immediate tailored policies and quotes that meet the needs of your client.
In practical terms, this translates to having more time to build or consolidate your business portfolio or client base, allowing more time with the family or just to wind down and relax more often. We do this by providing brokers with:

Convenient, secure and flexible access to client information 

Our system is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to manage your business and access your information at anytime and anywhere through any common compatible web browser.
Brokers are also assured of their Information privacy and protection through (industry security protocols, encryption) unique broker registration, authentication and restriction controls that limit each broker’s access to only their own information.  

Timely renewal reminders for brokers’ clients

Agricola systems facilitates automated client follow up management and quotation renewal generation which help brokers keep track of their client’s coverage, remind growers when renewals are due, check previous year’s policies, download client data and manage their client database on-line. 

Excellence in customer service and sales 

Agricola understands Crop Insurance and we understand the frustrations brokers face when they are arranging coverage for their clients.  Don’t wait for hours or days but instead provide excellence in customer service by using the system to:

• access vital and accurate information online
• process business immediately
• respond to client queries promptly and give accurate advice
• arrange quotes online immediately, and
• complete the sale in the most effective and efficient manner.

Consideration and analysis of different cover and premium options

The on-line service enables brokers to consider different premium options whilst interacting directly with the client.  Premium estimates are calculated immediately (in most cases) for each option which can be considered by the client. This allows brokers to work efficiently and effectively as they can deal directly, immediately and interactively with the client to tailor the most appropriate cover for their needs in a single business session.

On-line availability of quotes for clients

On-line access to client quotation information and documentation allow brokers to download quotes instantly and therefore easily create Insurance Proposals.  Brokers can receive quotes in minutes and combined Broad acre quotes within 20 minutes. Once these quotes or Insurance Certificates are created, they can be downloaded immediately. Brokers can therefore make on-the-spot sales and renewals without waiting days for quotes.
