Hartford expands digital submission capabilities

Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. said Wednesday it has expanded digital submission capabilities for agents and brokers writing midsize and large business for general liability, auto, property and workers compensation accounts.

New submission and quote application programming interfaces and portal options allow agents and brokers to more easily share submission data and request a quote with faster turnaround and increased accuracy using features including pre-populated data, a Hartford statement said.

In addition to direct API capabilities and online portals, the insurer will also allow API operating relationships with agents and brokers who use vendor API solutions for their midsize, large and specialty accounts.

The Hartford has partnered with data management company Highwing Inc. for technical expertise in establishing connections, the statement said.

A. Morris “Mo” Tooker, head of middle, large, specialty commercial and enterprise sales and distribution at The Hartford, said in the statement the enhanced digital capabilities were built using agent and broker feedback.
