Webline offers a range of very cost
effective and easy-to-use Web-based quotation and fulfilment services.
Quotes and personalised illustrations are stored in our database
for users' future reference - and online application submissions
let our users complete and track their business easily through a
single "window".
An expanding list of products is supported from a large and growing
list of product Providers. Webline
users include independent IFAs and General Insurance Intermediaries,
national IFAs and major networks, as well as tied and multi-tied
agents.
Webline provides the vital connections
between our users (the Financial Intermediaries) - and the product
Providers. We communicate online, directly with the participating
insurers, who generate quotes using their normal IT systems - so
the premiums always reflect the latest rates, unlike some alternative
services. Intermediaries log on to Webline,
select the product type they wish to quote, and complete a simple
form. Results are clearly displayed - usually in a comparative table
- on the user's PC in just a few seconds.
In many cases, our users also choose to include Webline
quotes within their website - allowing them to add interest to
their site, and potentially bring in more business from consumers.
See Webline functionality for
more details. Alternatively visit our demonstration site.
The only PC software needed to use Webline
is a standard browser (preferably Internet Explorer) and Acrobat
Reader (both free programs). Desktop or laptop machines are both
supported - some users even access Webline
using their mobile phone when visiting clients. Because there is
no special software on the user's PC, users may log on to Webline
from virtually anywhere - users can connect from the office, from
home, or when on the move.
