Ensight’s multi-carrier quoting API is now one of the many powerful components within Luma, allowing financial professionals to seamlessly illustrate life insurance and LTC products while accessing Luma’s full range of solutions. Financial advisors will also be able to communicate with their case design team using a bi-directional Life and LTC quoting integration with Ensight’s market leading illustration platform, Intelligent Quote.

“Luma and Ensight are at the very forefront of transforming the annuity, life and LTC sales and policy lifecycle experience in US IMO, brokerage and institutional distribution today,” said Bill Unrue, CEO, Ensight. “We are absolutely thrilled to be able to partner with Luma on our mutual objective to simplify, modernize and accelerate the product quoting, benchmarking and financial planning sales experience for every financial professional.”

“At Luma, we are committed to delivering cutting-edge solutions that empower financial professionals to better serve their clients. By integrating Ensight’s advanced digital capabilities with Luma’s multi-carrier platform, we are bringing the next generation of annuity, life, and LTC insurance sales experiences to the industry,” comments Jay Charles, Managing Director, Head of Insurance Products, Luma Financial Technologies. “This partnership represents a significant step forward in digitizing the insurance landscape, streamlining workflows, and enhancing advisor-client engagement.”

Modernizing The Annuity, Life & LTC Sales Experience

Today, it is more important than ever that financial professionals can effectively position the holistic protection and retirement planning benefits of annuities, life insurance and long-term care solutions for the client. Historically, financial professionals have often relied on ledger-based PDF illustrations and static sales concepts. In a world of interactive, digital financial planning software, 401K “apps” and personal investment platforms, financial professionals are increasingly seeking a solution that modernizes the advisor-client insurance discussion and engagement.

Ensight’s “Sales Story” platform closes this gap. “Sales Stories” provides an innovative new insurance planning experience, enabling financial professionals with an interactive, personalized product presentation, proposal or sales concept which can be shared and discussed with clients. Today’s leading annuity, life and LTC insurance carriers use Ensight to modernize the traditional illustration experience. The platform also enables financial institutions and distributors to develop their own sales experiences in order to transform the point-of-sale engagement and an aging portfolio of annuity, life and LTC sales concepts.

By integrating Ensight’s Sales Story platform into Luma, financial professionals will also have access to a growing range of modern interactive “Sales Story” experiences, developed by insurance carriers on the Ensight platform.
