Relay Platform (Relay), an innovative provider of solutions which enable the digital transformation of commercial insurance submissions, is pleased to welcome Appalachian Underwriters, Inc. (AUI) to its award-winning insurance placement platform – Relay Cyber.

Relay equips AUI clients with a turnkey solution to intake, submit and compare quotes digitally. The quotes are then presented in a dynamic Smart Client Proposal™️ which enables AUI agents to convert more business. Working to consolidate placements with digital-forward carriers, Relay combines API (instant), manual and email quotes while providing advanced analytics to improve renewal rates.

Leading insurance wholesaler, AUI, is the go-to outlet for agents and brokers looking to bring their clients a broad selection of products. With the help of Relay, AUI agents and brokers can rapidly place Cyber via the newly minted Appalachian Xpress Cyber program.

“Providing best-in-class digital solutions to our agents is vital in ensuring Appalachian’s promise of ‘business made easy,’” comments Dakota Stiles, Digital Enablement Manager at AUI. “The addition of Relay’s cyber comparative rater to our Xpress branded panel continues our goal to deliver a one-stop-shop experience for our agents.”

The Relay Cyber platform allows AUI to visually structure placements, rapidly identify and approach the most relevant markets, and iteratively automate subsequent steps to deliver automated proposals that close more business. Efficiencies continue to be delivered through Relay’s API quotes, and ability to drive quotes from the Appalachian Marketplace. Additionally, the Relay Risk Academy Education Portal enables AUI agents and brokers with the tools and resources to efficiently increase business and protect customers.

“Connecting wholesale systems directly through API is transformational to the insurance value chain, allowing all participants to operate and grow more efficiently,” comments Anne Hasenstab, Chief Insurance Officer, Relay Platform, “We’re thrilled to add another forward-thinking, differentiated partner such as Appalachian Underwriters to our platform.”
