This vertical solution is the first of its kind in the India market and helps in addressing significant business issues faced by insurance companies in India, said a press release.

The new solution would assists insurance organizations in managing insurance policy applications that are received from several channels such as agents, Bancassurance, corporate agencies and others, at the initial stage itself, said

According to Vineet Kalucha, director, sales, CDC CRM Solutions, " New business acquisition has been a significant part of the business of insurance companies in this region.

Our solution would help organizations in improving the productivity of their operations teams across branches and help ensure a greater quality of gate keeping of the policy applications."

The key benefit of this solution is the automation of the gate keeping process, which includes the maintenance of checklists for requisite documentation presented to the user. These checklists are based on the type of product chosen by the customer and the customer's demographic details.
