Agents Quote Equipment Breakdown Online Direct from their Agency Management Systems
The HSB InstantQuote Connection: "It's Simple, Easy to Use, and Very Efficient"

Agents and brokers are quoting HSB's Freestyle® monoline equipment breakdown coverage directly from their own policy systems, connecting to our HSB InstantQuote Web tool via Vertafore's TransactNOW® application.

ONLY ENTER DATA ONCE
"It's simple, easy to use, and very efficient," said Sonny Landry, marketing specialist for Gillis, Ellis & Baker, Inc., in New Orleans, who quotes HSB equipment breakdown coverage from his AMS 360® system for a range of his company's business. "It's a single-entry system, with most of the information carried over from TransactNOW® to HSB InstantQuote. This feature is a real time saver."

HSB was the first carrier to enable producers to quote monoline equipment breakdown policies without leaving their AMS 360®, Sagitta®, or AfW® agency management systems. They can link to HSB InstantQuote without the need to enter a separate HSB user name and password, or to re-enter most client data.

The direct connection to HSB InstantQuote is designed to save time, money and effort for agents and brokers, making it easier to quote equipment breakdown coverage without interrupting their workflow. The single-entry feature helps streamline agency business while improving coverage and service options for customers.

Are Your Clients Ready For Their Boiler Inspection?

HSB does more than any equipment breakdown insurer to reach out to customers to complete jurisdictional inspections. Your clients can help us get inspections done on time and avoid paying potential fines. HSB uses multiple data sources to identify equipment that needs an inspection and contact owners. Customers should schedule inspections well in advance of deadlines and have key employees on hand when our inspector arrives. They also should prepare their equipment for inspection.

Public Buildings Depend on Equipment, a Breakdown Lets Down the Community

When equipment breaks down in a public building it can affect many people in the community. Schools, churches, municipal centers and other places of public assembly are susceptible to the breakdown of heating, air conditioning, electrical systems and other equipment. With budgets tight, public and private groups can't afford an expensive breakdown. HSB's equipment breakdown coverage helps protect your clients with insurance coverage, services and loss prevention.
