How it works

Five steps from an account on your desk to a bound policy

The same workflow whether the risk quotes digitally or needs an underwriter.

  1. 1Step 1

    Select the state and line of business

    Start with where the risk sits and what coverage it needs. Appetite is filtered by state on the first click, so nothing you see is out of territory.

    • Commercial and personal lines
    • State-level appetite filtering
    • Monopolistic states flagged

  2. 2Step 2

    Enter the class or class code

    Type the operation in plain language or drop in a class code. Our matching layer understands trade language, so 'carpentry' and 'carpenter' land in the same place.

    • Plain-language class search
    • Class code lookup
    • Excluded classes screened out

  3. 3Step 3

    Review digital and submit-market matches

    Results come back ranked and split into two clear lanes: markets you can quote yourself and markets that go to an INVO underwriter.

    • Ranked appetite matches
    • Digital vs. submit clearly separated
    • Reasons shown for every match
  4. 4Step 4

    Quote directly or submit to the right division

    Bind eligible business online through the agent portal, or send the account straight to the division that owns the class with the documents already listed for you.

    • Quote and bind online
    • Pre-listed submission requirements
    • Routed to the correct division

  5. 5Step 5

    Get support from the underwriting team

    Unusual exposure, prior losses, or a class nobody wants? Talk to a specialist underwriter who works the class every day.

    • Named division contacts
    • 24–48 hour response on complete files
    • Marketing support for tough accounts

Market access in motion

Your accounts shouldn't wait on a market search.

Transportation, construction, staffing and Main Street business move fast. INVO pairs a searchable market appetite with underwriters who answer — so you can quote the account while it's still on the phone.

Two paths

Quote it digitally, or submit it to an underwriter

Knowing which path an account belongs on is the fastest way to a bound policy.

Quote digitally

Best for straightforward risks inside a carrier's published appetite. You rate, bind and issue online without waiting on anyone.

  • Instant indication and bind
  • Standard classes and clean loss history
  • Available 24/7 through the agent portal

Submit to an underwriter

Best for tougher classes, larger exposures, prior losses, or anything a digital market declines. An INVO underwriter markets it for you.

  • E&S and program capacity
  • Loss-sensitive and multi-state accounts
  • Response in 24–48 business hours

Agent results

Agents place accounts faster when they stop guessing

What independent agents say after their first 60 days with an INVO appointment.

I used to email three wholesalers to find out who'd even look at a sand-and-gravel hauler. Now I search it, see who writes it, and have a quote back the same afternoon.

Principal, independent agency — Tennessee

Bound in 2 days

The digital markets alone paid for the appointment in the first month. Small BOPs I used to turn away now rate and bind while the client is still on the phone.

Marcus T.

Commercial lines producer — Georgia

18 small BOPs in 60 days

What I value most is being told 'no' quickly and pointed somewhere else. INVO's underwriters actually answer, and that saves me more time than any portal.
