Executive summary

A unified InsurTech platform

Insurance Exchange is a cloud-based InsurTech platform designed to simplify the complete insurance sales lifecycle.

The platform replaces disconnected spreadsheets, emails, provider portals, and manual follow-ups with a centralized CRM where agents manage quotes, customers, providers, communications, and business performance in one place.

Product goal

Improve agent productivity, increase quote conversions, and give management complete visibility.

The business problem

A slow, fragmented sales workflow

During stakeholder discussions we discovered that agencies relied on multiple disconnected systems to manage customers and providers. The workflow was slow, repetitive, and lacked visibility.

Managers couldn't answer
  • How many active quotes are in progress?
  • Which agent performs best?
  • Which provider generates the highest revenue?
  • Which customers require follow-up today?

Most of my day is spent switching between provider websites.

Role-based, not generic

Rather than designing a generic CRM, I created a role-based platform where each user sees only the information relevant to their responsibilities.

Solution

Four workspaces, one flow

Workspace

Dashboard

Problem

Managers lacked visibility into business performance.

Solution

A real-time executive dashboard displaying total transactions, sales volume, active quotes, monthly trends, quote insights, top companies, top states, provider performance, and revenue growth.

UX decision

Designed KPI cards and visual analytics that let managers assess business health within seconds.

Workspace

Quotes Management

Problem

Agents struggled to manage many customers and stages simultaneously.

Solution

A Kanban-inspired experience with stages: New Leads, Contacted, In Progress, Quoted, Bound, Closed. Each card surfaces customer details, policy type, quote amount, priority, days in stage, follow-up reminders, and quick actions.

UX decision

Surface critical info directly on the card so agents can act without opening extra screens.

Workspace

Providers Management

Problem

Agents had no easy way to compare insurance providers.

Solution

A centralized directory with provider ratings, product offerings, transaction volume, growth trends, sales performance, and active agents.

UX decision

A comparison table enables faster provider selection and informed recommendations.

Workspace

Contact Center

Problem

Customer communication was fragmented across calls, emails, and messages.

Solution

A unified communication hub with contact history, call logs, email tracking, SMS records, follow-up notes, and outcome tracking.

UX decision

A chronological interaction timeline gives agents full context before contacting a customer.
