Active Quote Drives Online Bike Insurance for MCE

Award winning insurance provider, MCE, is one of the latest companies to use Open GI's Active Quote solution to aid online positioning for their motorcycle business.

Active Quote for e-commerce enables brokers to offer competitive pricing and obtain more online business via aggregators by focusing on the most profitable areas of the market. They can set rules and conditions within the Open GI quote engines that are specific to their target market, whilst taking into account insurer agreements.

MCE have been using the technology for the last month for quoting bike insurance and plan to go live with private car lines in the first half of next year. Active Quote has been particularly useful for MCE's campaign planning as it can be switched on and off immediately.

Julian Edwards, Director, MCE, comments: "The main benefit for us is the flexibility Active Quote allows. We are able to offer the best, real-time deal for customers in what is a fast changing and highly competitive aggregator driven marketplace.

"Active Quote also allows us to test rates in a controlled live environment prior to making full changes to schemes, providing quick results. In the short time we have been using Active Quote we have noticed how much it suits the specialist nature of our core motorcycle trade and specialist car schemes. It is already proving to be a great tool for our online sales and we welcome the advent of Active Quote for Core which will apply to our call centre business."

Simon Hughes, Sales and Marketing Director, Open GI, said: "As brokers become more internet savvy, pricing tools such as Active Quote allow them to exploit their specialist knowledge in an online environment and apply broker discounts or premium overrides. This is proving particularly useful in aggregator sales.

"In response to the success of Active Quote and growing customer demand, we have also launched the technology for our core trading system, so that call centre brokers in particular can apply real time rating flexibility from their back-office. The response to the launch of Active Quote for Core has been extremely positive with many of our brokers actively welcoming its application."
