Vertafore, an insurance technology provider, has introduced new artificial intelligence capabilities in Surefyre, that allow program administrators to automatically convert PDF submission forms into web applications.
Acquired by Vertafore in 2024, Surefyre is a low-code agent portal and underwriting workbench platform built to empower managing general agents (MGAs) and wholesalers.
Vertafore’s latest AI-backed feature aims to streamline a time-consuming step in new program setups, transforming a manual process with the click of a button.
Surefyre leverages AI to convert PDF submission fields into digital forms in minutes This capability drastically cuts down the time administrators previously spent – up to four hours – manually building web applications for new programs.
The result is faster market entry for MGAs and wholesalers introducing new programs, a reduction in manual data entry errors, and the ability for teams to dedicate more time to higher-value work.
Emily McGinn, general manager of MGA and wholesale at Vertafore, commented: “We’re innovating with AI in Surefyre with a clear purpose: to remove friction from the work MGAs do every day.
“By using AI to automate one of the most manual steps in program setup, Surefyre helps MGAs move faster, create a great experience for their agency partners, and focus on the growth activities that truly accelerate their business.”
This latest innovation reflects Vertafore’s practical approach to AI by embedding automation directly into real workflows to eliminate low-value manual work and simplify complex processes.
Later this year in Surefyre, Vertafore plans to introduce a natural-language summary to highlight changes to an application changes during renewals or endorsements, as well as AI-powered ingestion of unstructured submissions data.
