“We chose Bold Penguin because they share our enthusiasm in trying to simplify the already overly complex commercial insurance space,” Geremia says in regards to the Marketplace.
Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) October 27, 2016
Two technology innovators come together to simplify business insurance. Internet Insurance Group has announced that it has fully integrated with Bold Penguin’s Marketplace for better risk routing and matching capabilities.
Bold Penguin, headquartered in Ohio, initially released their flagship product which is a commercial-focused insurance agent portal currently utilized by over 2,000 agents nationwide. Immediately following this release, Bold Penguin continued development by creating the Marketplace which was announced at InsureTech Connect gathering in Las Vegas, allowing select partners, agents and carriers, to mine for risks that match their specific appetite and to send non-matching risks out into the open market.
Internet Insurance Group, headquartered in Massachusetts, is focused on delivering a high-end and high-tech experience when it comes to commercial insurance. Currently, IIG is licensed in the 48 contiguous states partnering with more than 12 carriers and they’re rapidly expanding throughout the US. Led by industry leader Lou Geremia, IIG is quickly becoming one of the largest online commercial insurance agencies serving small businesses. “We chose Bold Penguin because they share our enthusiasm in trying to simplify the already overly complex commercial insurance space,” Geremia says in regards to the Marketplace. “Their technology stack was ahead of others and made it faster and easier for us to plug and play,” he adds.
According to Bold Penguin’s founder and CEO, Ilya Bodner, the partnership has continually grown as IIG expanded its markets. “Every agency we work with, regardless of type — retail agent, online agent, call center agent, new startup or old — has problems matching risks to markets. The goal has always been to streamline the underwriting and matching process,” says Bodner. “Internet Insurance Group takes full advantage of the receive and send side of our Marketplace which allows them to offer an insurance product to their customers by finding the right outlets while not compromising on user experience.”
