Vertafore, the leader in insurance distribution technology in the AI era, unveiled its vision for the Digital Underwriter for MGAs and new Velocity AI agents that are bringing that vision to life across underwriting workflows.

When Vertafore talks to MGA leaders, one priority comes through consistently: help underwriters become more efficient and more effective. Put simply, underwriters should spend more time underwriting and less time on the busy work.

MGAs must compete for business from the moment a submission arrives. Today, too much of an underwriter’s capacity is consumed by preparing submissions, gathering information, and other manual work, taking time away from evaluating risk and launching new programs. As an MGA grows, that operational burden on underwriters grows, too.

The Digital Underwriter is Vertafore’s vision for helping MGAs achieve Distribution Velocity in the AI era by eliminating friction across the underwriting lifecycle.

Velocity AI agents embedded directly into Vertafore’s MGA solutions take on more of the manual work across underwriting workflows and surface key insights, from intake and risk evaluation through quoting, binding and servicing. By reducing friction across the underwriting lifecycle, Vertafore is helping MGAs increase their underwriting capacity, reduce cycle times, and improve their bind rate—the essentials of sustainable growth.

“The opportunity to apply AI in underwriting is bigger than automating individual tasks,” said Emily McGinn, general manager of MGA and Wholesale at Vertafore. “Our Digital Underwriter strategy is about creating capacity across the entire workflow.
