An agreement announced today between Ash Brokerage and Efficient Forms, LLC, will streamline the entire contracting process for all of the carriers available to Ash producers. Using the Efficient Contracting process, Ash Brokerage producers are able to go through a streamlined interview with logic to complete the contracting paperwork for each carrier they plan to write business for.

LITTLETON, CO (PRWEB) November 23, 2005 -- An agreement announced today between Ash Brokerage and Efficient Forms, LLC, will streamline the entire contracting process for all of the carriers available to Ash producers.

Ash Brokerage has always worked to improve the producer experience. Now the company is taking the extensive redundancy out of the contracting process.

Using the Efficient Contracting process, Ash Brokerage producers are able to go through a streamlined interview with logic to complete the contracting paperwork for each carrier they plan to write business for. If a producer needs to add additional carriers in the future, their information is saved from the previous interview. When returning, the producer would validate the information is still current and answer a few additional carrier specific questions.

“The Efficient Contracting Solution has allowed Ash Brokerage to contract a large number of producers with multiple carriers without having to fill out paperwork by hand. Our staff gets more complete paperwork in a timely manner without having to go back to the producer with information that might have been missed. We look forward to further enhancements with the process that would include additional integration with our key carriers,” said Cindy Bastress, Vice President – Operations of Ash Brokerage.

“Efficient Forms is very pleased to include Ash Brokerage as a key client. Working with industry leaders, like Ash Brokerage, allows us to create a product that can greatly improve the experience for producers, distributors, and carriers. Leveraging the industry knowledge of our premier clients ensures the Efficient Contracting Solution will continue to lead the market,” said Todd Fenske, Vice President of Sales for Efficient Forms.
