“We are excited to go live with commercial auto which was in high demand from our existing broker partners,” comments Ilya Bodner, founder and CEO, Bold Penguin. “This is a significant enhancement to our platform, which now allows for other lines such as general liability and workers comp to be quoted alongside business auto through a single, uniform, tightened up application flow. Following this announcement, we will be expanding commercial auto options and continuing our expansion into E&S.”

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company is one carrier now offering commercial auto insurance, amongst other small business coverages, utilizing the latest technology advancement in its Commercial Digital Storefront. The company won the highest ranking for overall customer satisfaction two years in a row in J.D. Power’s 2018 and 2019 U.S. Small Commercial Insurance Satisfaction Studies.

Bold Penguin says its technology allows agents to quote and bind policies for SMBs three times faster than the traditional process. The addition of commercial auto to the platform, which the company says is now the largest commercial insurance exchange, streamlines the quoting experience for General Liability, Business Owners Policy (BOP), Professional Liability, and Workers Compensation.
