A HubSpot alternative for insurance agencies.
An insurance agency runs on policies, households, carriers, and renewal dates. BookWorks is a suite of desks built for that work, on top of the management system you already run. It is offered through Glidewell Business Solutions.
What a book needs that a general CRM leaves to you
- One record per client, with households kept together.
- Renewals watched across the book, with contact and owner.
- Quotes that do not need retyping into each carrier portal.
- Certificates issued from the book while the caller waits.
- Commissions checked against what carriers actually paid.
The desks
- agentQ: a group census into ranked plan quotes and a shareable comparison. The rate library is Montana today, with other states scoped at discovery.
- Bindery: large-group censuses out to carrier reps, proposals back on one comparison sheet.
- Shift: a chosen plan to enrollment.
- ShiftHA: home and auto leads into cards with captured carrier quotes.
- Cert Desk: ACORD 25 certificates filled from the book.
- Re-Shop: carrier quotes gathered on upcoming renewals, lowest marked.
- Policy Mover: a policy's facts laid out to copy into its new carrier.
- Claims Intake: a first notice of loss, starting from the policy on the book.
- Bookmark: raises each client's next product at renewal.
How it connects
Connections are confirmed at discovery. They include EZLynx, AgencyBloc, carrier statements and feeds, and a HubSpot mirror. Your rep reviews what the agent typed before it lands, and the Submit click stays with a person.
