Amalgamated Insurance Underwriters (AIU), a Monsey, New York-based property and casualty insurance program wholesaler, has gone into in production with TechCanary’s (Milwaukee, Wisc.) Salesforce-based cloud Insurance Platform, Canary AMS, after a three-week implementation initiative. TechCanary developed and deployed further functionality over an additional six weeks to make for what the vendor calls a robust, highly customized, and modern agency management system built inside Salesforce.

TechCanary reports that AIU’s objective in selecting and implementing TechCanary was two-fold: establishment of a customer-focused and efficient operating environment able to exceed customer expectations, and creation of highly automated processes to support the company’s rapid growth with minimal additional expense.
“We selected TechCanary to provide a software solution that was compatible with Salesforce and could handle our wholesale insurance needs,” comments Daniel Gleich, principal, AIU. “TechCanary provides us with a super-simple platform, with tremendous flexibility, and a very helpful implementation and development tech team. We are extremely pleased with the early in-production results and look forward to adding additional functionality and reaping even greater benefits.”
Among the capabilities and benefits Amalgamated is currently enjoying as a result of the TechCanary implementation are the following, as described by the vendor:
Reid Holzworth, CEO, TechCanary.
- New quote and underwriting capabilities: For example: new questions, fire history search
- Loss control / inspector (API integration): Ability to send new policy details to an inspector, charge insured for inspection, schedule inspector, receive inspector report, create task and document for insured to fix reported problems, and keep track of status and completion
- Google Earth integration
- Built-in custom rating
- Real-time accounting integration and automation
- Integration with Outlook Exchange enabling the addition of emails and attachments with a click
