PPL launches simplified Express Contracts route

Placing Platform Limited (PPL) has launched its new Express Contract functionality, a fast-track process that makes it quicker and easier for brokers to bind risks.

In pre-launch testing, the time taken to create a single contract placement was significantly shortened, along with improved user feedback and an even more simplified user interface which aims to greatly reduce the need for training new users, or those who utilise the platform more periodically.

Some of the highlights of the new process include fast-tracking single contract firm orders with up to six sections, improved user experience helping brokers identify which path to take across key process steps, markets/facilities, assigning roles and sending submission packs.

Additionally, it also has a new navigation structure with consistent signage and calls to action, helping brokers to identify which process steps to take, see where they are in the process and what is needed next, and save and return to work easily.

The Express Contract functionality was prioritised by PPL’s Market Governance Committees, developed in collaboration with broker users and informed through structured end-user research.

Colin O’Malley, Chief Operating Officer of PPL said: “The launch of Express Contracts marks a significant step in our efforts to deliver an intuitive user experience. This latest development brings new navigation tools, clearer screen layouts and a streamlined process, making it quicker and easier for brokers to place risk.

“We have put in place a broad range of pre-launch and post-launch demonstrations as well as training support for our 10k broker platform users; I have been delighted with the positive response we have received to date. I’d like to thank those brokers involved in the designs of this new functionality and we look forward to releasing further enhancements to support the market in advance of 1/1 renewals.”
