Principal Deploys iGO Drop Ticket in Brokerage

Insurance Weekly News

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Weekly News -- iPipeline® - a leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for the life insurance industry- announced Principal® has selected iGO® Drop Ticket to provide a faster solution for the selling of Principal term life products. The solution enables their brokerage distribution customers to quickly and easily quote insurance products and submit a "ticket," or rules-based short form, for processing. The drop ticket can be used in conjunction with the Principal Accelerated UnderwritingSM program to help expedite issuance of a policy. The use of iGO Drop Ticket highlights an industry initiative to simplify and digitize how agents market, sell and process insurance products using next-generation point-of-sale technology.

"Digitizing and improving the agent and consumer experience has moved to the top of the industry's must-do list. Making the selling and buying process easy and actually enjoyable speaks a lot to the benefits of using our Drop Ticket solution," said Tim Wallace, CEO, iPipeline. "The agent simply submits the ticket with basic information to a BGA or call center, an intermediary completes the information gathering process with the consumer, and it enters into the underwriting process. Electronic completion, e-Signature, and e-Submission speed the process, and this frees up individuals to sell more. The selection of iGO Drop Ticket for use with Principal term life products will assist them in achieving their financial goals while improving the experience for their agents and consumers."

iGO Drop Ticket is available to support Principal sales in all states with the exception of New York.
