Vertafore Releases Consumer Rate Quotes for Comparative Rating

Vertafore (http://www.vertafore.com/), the leading provider of software and services to the insurance industry, announced the availability of Consumer Rate Quotes -- an add-on module for its PL Rating™ multi-company quoting solution -- which accelerates the new business acquisition process by providing multiple carrier rate quotes directly from an agency's Web site.

"As an independent agent I need opportunities to sell my services, and Consumer Rate Quotes is a great tool to find prospects," said Mike Foy, Foy Insurance Group. "Not only am I able to provide a service customers want on my Web site, but I am better equipped to compete with direct writers because I can offer something they cannot -- choice. This is a huge competitive advantage for me in the marketplace."
