RFP & Quoting Intake FAQs

Why use an automation solution like Ushur for an RFP process?

The RFP process has revenue implications, and often the easiest carrier to work with will be one that brokers prefer working with in the future. Automation helps brokers works with carriers confidently, and respond expediently. That means carriers can expect more revenue and more opportunities for business.

Why use these three products for RFP/Census automation?

Ushur SmartMail, Ushur Intelligent Document Automation, and Ushur Invisible App, are all essential pillars in the document-centric, high-volume solutions that Ushur deploys. Ushur SmartMail streamlines the high volume of inbound emails that carriers tend to receive by identifying and routing them to the correct users/departments. Ushur Intelligent Document Automation (IDA) is responsible for extracting key-value pairs and identifying incorrect or missing data in submitted documents. Ushur Invisible App is deployed by carriers to securely gather missing information or missing documentation. The three Ushur products together offer pre-built capabilities that make RFP/census automation deployments feasible in weeks instead of years.

My documents and forms are specific to my business, so how does Ushur automate against those?

The Ushur AI Labs team works with our customers to update any document-based models that the RFP automation process depends upon. The Ushur proprietary Document Intelligence Services Architecture (DISA) is composed to make the model update and deployment process painless for Ushur customers.

What if my RFP/Census process only needs a portion of these automation capabilities?

Ushur never locks customers into products or pre-built solutions. We strive to ensure every customer sees value from their engagements and deployments with Ushur, and can customize each to maximize the value that Ushur helps deliver.
