Managing all your agencies documents has never been so easy or more powerful. AgencyRoot allows your office to store, send, sign (eSignature), manage, and create action items based on all your policy and customer documents.
Where to Add, Access, Manage Documents
There are three places in AgencyRoot that you can add, access, and manage documents.
Contact/Entity Details portal
A Contact Document should be those pertaining more generally to the contact, prospect, or customer not the policy itself. These documents can include Written Agreements, Power to sign or power of attorney certificates, 578s, and many more.
Individual Policy portal
These documents should be specific to the policy like the Application, Declarations, Production Report, and claims documents.
Documents Dashboard
This dashboard will provide you with a view of all Documents that have been uploaded to an individual Policy. Use the filter tower to help you find specific set of Documents that you wish to review.
You can now also search for Policies that are missing specific Documents - providing another layer of processing protection.
How to Add Documents
You can Upload, Add, and even send documents from either the Contact Detail Document portal, the Policy Detail Document portal, or the Documents Dashboard.
We’ve recently released the ability to create electronic signatures (eSignatures) to your documents. You can learn more about that process here: eSignature Document
