ITC Acquires the Multico Comparative Rating System
Carrollton, Texas (PRWEB) June 03, 2015 -- Insurance Technologies Corporation (ITC), a leading provider of marketing, rating and management software and services, announced today it has acquired Multico-Online from Multico Rating Systems Incorporated, the largest comparative rating vendor in the northwestern United States, to expand its insurance rating and sales system TurboRater.
Since 1986 Multico has provided quality, easy-to-use rating products to improve efficiency for more than 200 insurance agencies and more than 60 insurance carriers. The acquisition of Multico’s automobile and home comparative rating system will extend TurboRater’s market share with the addition of the Idaho, Oregon, Utah and Washington state markets.
“Acquiring Multico is part of our overall strategic vision to provide nationwide rating for independent agencies, aggregators and insurance carriers,” said Laird Rixford, president of ITC. “In addition, this acquisition will fuel growth of ITC’s online consumer driven comparative rating platform used for quoting and selling insurance directly to the consumer.”
Through this acquisition Multico-Online users will benefit from TurboRater’s additional feature set that includes motorcycle rating, integrated digital agency marketing, advanced reporting, and bind online, which allows consumers to purchase auto policies directly from an insurance agency website.
“We found a company in ITC who shares our passion for helping agents and the carriers that support them become more productive so they can compete and grow,” said Charles Anderson, CEO of Multico. “We’re excited at the opportunity to give our agents access to the extensive marketing, rating and management products and expertise ITC brings to the industry.”
Effective immediately Multico-Online will be called Multico by ITC. Development and support staff will remain in Seattle and operate as ITC’s West Coast office. Multico’s netPOSitiveTM point-of-sale solution will continue to be managed and operated by Anderson under the business name netPOSitive Corporation.
