Underwriting software to manage risk, cases, and decisions

Built on Damco Workbench, beside the policy system you already run

Take in applications from every channel

Broker emails, portals, and agent apps feed one queue, and each application is read and checked.

Summarize the risk for the underwriter

Agents pull the application, third-party data, and loss history into a one-page summary.

Apply your underwriting rules

Your appetite, authority limits, and referral rules run on every case, with a trace of why.

Price and quote in fewer steps

Rates come from your rating rules, and quotes and illustrations are drafted for approval.

Track every case and its deadline

Each case shows its status, owner, and next step, so nothing waits unseen.

How we put underwriting automation to work

Four steps, from one line mapped to agents your underwriters rely on

  1. Days 1 to 5

    Map one line of business

    We follow real submissions from the inbox to the bound policy and time every wait.

  2. Weeks 2 to 6

    Build with your underwriters

    Agents take intake, data gathering, and rule checks, inside your tenant and on your core.

  3. Before launch

    Run side by side

    Agents prepare cases while underwriters work as usual, until the summaries match their own.

  4. After launch

    Operate to the number

    We run it with you against quote turnaround and hit ratio, and keep tuning until they move.

When insurance underwriting software is the right fit

And when another kind of help would serve you better

A good fit when
  • Underwriters spend more of the day gathering data than judging risk
  • Submissions wait in an inbox before anyone checks appetite
  • Nobody can say quickly why a case was referred or declined
Look elsewhere when
  • You want an algorithm to accept or decline cases with no underwriter
  • You only need a new rating engine, with no change to how cases flow
  • You write a handful of cases a month and none of them wait

Underwriting capabilities in detail

What each part covers, from the application to the bound policy

Intelligent application processing

Applications arrive by broker email, agent portal, and your own website, often with ACORD forms, schedules of values, and loss runs attached. An agent reads each one, checks it for missing fields, and opens the case with everything in place.

The underwriter starts with a complete file, not a request to the broker for the third time.

  • Applications captured from digital and agent channels
  • Data checked automatically before review
  • Cases routed to the right underwriter by line and authority
  • Progress tracked at every stage

AI-powered risk evaluation

Agents gather the facts an underwriter needs: the applicant's data, loss history, property or vehicle records, and third-party sources you subscribe to. They write a one-page summary and flag what stands out, such as a gap in coverage history or a building older than your guidelines allow.

Your underwriter reads the summary, checks the flags, and decides. The agent never accepts or declines a risk.

Configurable underwriting rules engine

Your appetite, eligibility rules, authority limits, and referral triggers live in one place, written so a manager can read them. Underwriting leads can change a rule or a letter template without waiting for IT.

Every decision carries a trace: which rules ran, what data they used, and who approved the case. Auditors and regulators get a clear explanation for each one.

Dynamic pricing, quoting, and illustration

Rates come from your rating rules, applied the same way on every case and adjusted for the risk. When rates change, you update the rules, not the system.

Agents draft the quote or, for life products, the illustration, with coverage and price laid out clearly. The underwriter approves it, and the broker or agent gets it sooner.

Insight and analytics layer

Managers see workload, turnaround, hit ratio, and referral rates by line, region, and underwriter. Trends in exposure and approvals show up while you can still act on them.

The same data supports planning and forecasting, so next quarter's capacity isn't a guess.

Integration with policy administration and claims

Underwriting connects through APIs to the policy administration system you run, whether that's Guidewire, Duck Creek, Majesco, Sapiens, Insurity, EIS, OneShield, or InsureEdge. Bound policies flow to policy and billing without re-keying, and claims history flows back to the underwriter.

Damco Workbench runs in your tenant. Agents sign in as users with their own permissions, and every step is on the record.

Questions about insurance underwriting software

What underwriting leaders ask us before they start

Why do I need an automated underwriting system?

An automated underwriting system takes the gathering and checking off your underwriters, so they spend their time on judgment. Routine cases move faster and more consistently, and complex ones get more attention. You handle more submissions with the same team.

Can underwriters change workflows in the software?

Yes. Underwriting leads can change rules, routing, and letter templates themselves, without a developer. That lets you respond to a new guideline or a market shift in days, and every change is recorded with who made it.

Does it support different types of insurance products?

Yes. We set up personal, commercial, specialty, life, and health lines, each with its own workflow, rules, and data sources. Adding a new product means adding its rules, not rebuilding the system.

Can underwriting software integrate with our policy administration system?

Yes. We connect through your policy system's APIs, so data stays consistent and nobody keys it twice. Your underwriters keep the tools they know, with the agents working beside them.

Do AI agents make underwriting decisions?

No. Agents gather data, check rules, summarize, and draft quotes, and the underwriter decides. A case stays a draft until a person approves it, and each agent has an owner on your team.

How do I get pricing for underwriting automation software?

Pricing depends on the lines, the volume, and the systems we connect. We start with a five-day review of one line of business, then quote the build and the monthly cost to operate it.
