OMNIX - Broker

As an insurance intermediary, broker or advisor, you will be acutely aware of the growing trend amongst your potential customers for using the Internet to gather information and obtain insurance quotes from an increasing number of your competitors who have their own Internet channels.

The trend is growing, as the move away from telephone quotes continues and the move towards web-based insurance quotations continues. Prospective clients are using the Internet to do their research and compare quotes from a wide range of established and well-known online insurance brands that have embraced the Internet as the future for personal lines insurance, commercial lines insurance, as well as life and pensions.

You may feel that you are unable to compete with these major Internet insurance companies; after all, they have a significant budget and rely heavily upon continuous TV, radio and Internet promotion of their insurance websites. Clearly, unless you have a virtually unlimited budget, you cannot reasonably expect to compete directly – but you can use the Internet to carve your own niche in areas of the insurance market on which the major online insurers are less focussed and where a carefully designed and well-planned website will work for you.

But before you decide how a new website might benefit your insurance business, talk to OMNIX.

OMNIX will show you how to get the best from your insurance website design. Designing a website for an insurance broker or intermediary is a very specialised area and we have many years’ experience in creating this type of online business channel, including integrating your website with your SSP, Misys, Open G I, Cheshire Data or Sirius back office systems.

Linking your website to your Broker System

We can also link your newly designed insurance broker website to your existing client administration system, so that you can, if you prefer, take information typed into your website (prospects, quotes etc) straight into your back office, where it can be handled as if it had come in as any other insurance quote.

Whether you use SSP, Open G I (formerly Misys), Sirius or Cheshire Data, we are happy to provide links to the relevant prospect or client database. Call us for more details. We work closely with most of the main software houses and will be pleased to liaise on your behalf.

OMNIX operates throughout the UK and Ireland and we are happy to integrate our web channels with other systems and databases as required. Just leave it to us – we will do what is required to achieve a fully integrated web channel for your business.

As you can see, there is a lot of flexibility that you can use to your advantage. Overall, it is a very simple and straightforward process and you will be amazed by the results. Having a new website is a big step for any business and can be hugely important to you and your staff, as it marks the next step in the online development of your business.

What We Do

OMNIX works very closely with our clients. From the start, we will talk you through the whole web design process, what is going to happen and what we will require from you. We listen carefully to your design preferences, the areas of your business you may wish to focus on and any special requests you might have.
From there we will create a mock website design, or more, and take feedback from you to fine-tune the design to your absolute satisfaction.

Once the website design is agreed, we build the website, including any additional features you may have requested, including online insurance quotations, quote and buy e-commerce facilities, quote save and retrieval, plus a wide range of additional features that we can suggest – the decision on what the website will do will always be yours.

How Much?

You may already spend significant sums on advertising in local and national telephone directories, trusting that your future clients will have let their fingers do the walking to find you. Do you know how much business these adverts bring you? Have you considered spending your advertising budget in a different way? Wouldn’t you like to be able to change your advertising easily and instantly, rather than having to agree an advert wording months before it goes to print and then be unable to make any changes for another year?
With a new website, custom designed for your business by OMNIX, you can promote any aspect of your operation easily and with no technical knowledge. You can make changes each day, each week or every so often – it is an entirely flexible online business channel, it is so much more that just a website and will cost you less than you think. We can offer you the option to pay a fixed amount each month or a lump sum, whichever is your preference.

Whatever your budget, talk to us and allow us to explain what we can do and how we can help you achieve your business goals. We are usually able to offer payment over an extended period in association with our finance partners, Systems Finance Ltd.
