Case Study: Shore Underwriting launches a first-class MGA and cuts quote-to-bind time to 24 hours with Insly

Shore Underwriting Needed an Efficient Quote and Bind Platform to Launch an MGA

Shore Underwriting, founded by Michael Shore and Dave Alexander, needed an efficient, auditable system to launch a first‑class MGA: they were operating from Excel and Word mail merges, required Lloyd’s‑grade security and fast quote-to-bind turnaround. They selected Insly’s web-based underwriting/quote-and-bind platform to replace manual processes and meet regulatory and speed requirements.

Insly implemented a streamlined single‑entry platform that rates submissions and generates quote letters, binders and full policy documents in one place, enabling 12–24 hour turnarounds (many quotes in 2–3 hours). The Insly system eliminated the need for 4–5 back‑office data‑entry staff, allowed Shore to operate with two underwriters and two support staff, and produced measurable sales growth and increased per‑broker submissions.
