Specialty lines bring with them complexity and risk that have historically required highly skilled, specialized expertise in underwriting and rating. This level of bespoke personal involvement comes at a cost, but DRC can now automate and streamline processes that have previously required personal attention to make small premium policies more profitable. Whether you want to expand your business into the specialty market or make your existing line more efficient, with DRC, no automation challenge is too large… or too small.

- Process with greater efficiency and throughput
- Establish governance on enterprise pricing
- Eliminate manual rekeying
- Expand distribution network to increase business and volume

London Syndicate Leverages DRC to Transform Low Premium Business into Profit
One of the most well-respected syndicates in the London market, focusing on high and medium dollar markets, turned to DRC to expand its business into the small and medium enterprise market by bundling and cross-selling specialty and basic insurance products more efficiently and profitably. Using RS X Rating and the DRC Underwriter Portal, our client’s agents were able to enter risks and receive quotes back in real-time by enabling agents to enter risk data into a predefined box. DRC’s automated processing reduced the high costs associated with laborious human underwriting to make lower-premium business newly profitable, helping the syndicate expand written premium in areas previously off-limits.
With DRC, our client’s underwriters now focus where their specialized expertise matters most, not on routine processing of low-premium business. Working with DRC allowed our client to find new opportunities to work with SMEs that were previously off-limits due to their low average premium. Let DRC show you how automation makes even small premium businesses a hardworking engine to fuel profitable, long-term growth.
