The Bold Brief

Carrier appointments dashboard redesign provides premium user experience

The redesigned carrier appointments dashboard gives users a clearer, more intuitive view of their appointment statuses. The updated layout provides a real-time snapshot view of activated and pending appointments, now organized by appointment type in a streamlined, tiered display.

Users can now quickly identify which carriers are active in their Terminal, which appointments are pending, and which carriers offer sub-appointments or can be activated with a current direct appointment. Simplified navigation filters further improve efficiency, making carrier appointment management more seamless and actionable.

Enhanced quote page delivers a more transparent and efficient experience

The Terminal quote page has been redesigned with a cleaner, more intuitive layout. Users can now easily compare quotes side by side and sort or filter policies by price, making it quicker to identify the most suitable coverage.

Additionally, carrier bridge links have been added to the quote page for certain ineligible quotes, when supported by the carrier. For declined quotes or those requiring further action, a “Review With Carrier” button may appear on the quote card, providing direct access to the carrier portal. These links enable users to view and capture declination details, download required forms for E&S submissions, or resume quotes that were incorrectly categorized, eliminating the need to rekey information and streamlining the quoting workflow.
