Customer Story

BrokerTeam builds its next decade of growth on Applied Epic

Policy data from insurers now flows straight into the management system, so staff spend their time on clients, not data entry.

Challenge

Growth that outpaced a legacy system

BrokerTeam Insurance, founded in 2005, has grown from a five-partner startup into one of Ontario’s most diverse and fastest-growing brokerages. It serves clients across personal and commercial lines and will soon open a life insurance and benefits division.

As the brokerage marked its 20th anniversary, it recognized it needed a modern, integrated broker management system to support its next decade of growth. Its legacy Applied system had gaps the team filled with tools it built and maintained in-house, which took significant time and resources.

“The Applied team walked us through every stage of implementation, giving us peace of mind.”

Solution

Integrated automation that frees staff for clients 

BrokerTeam chose Applied Epic for its integrated automation. “We used to hire people to build bots that imported GL policy information into our BMS to keep up with the large volume of transactions we handled. With Applied Epic, it all happens automatically,” Andy explained.

Policy data now flows from insurers through direct feeds, CSIO eDocs, or document capture straight into Applied Epic, filling in policy numbers, coverage details, limits, effective dates, and endorsements. That frees staff to focus on understanding each client’s needs, delivering personalized service, and building lasting relationships.

BrokerTeam wanted staff to be part of the change, not just on the receiving end of it. It held biweekly discussions so staff could raise concerns and offer input before implementation, and invited them to join implementation teams for hands-on time in Applied Epic.

“When people understand the system and its features, they feel a sense of ownership. They can use the system effectively and even train new staff in the future,” Andy said.

How Applied Epic helps

Policy data, automated workflows, and day-to-day servicing run in one system, so BrokerTeam can grow without building workarounds.

Insurer data flows in

Direct feeds, CSIO eDocs, and document capture bring policy details into Applied Epic without anyone re-keying them.

Imports on autopilot

Policy imports that once relied on custom-built bots now happen automatically within Applied Epic, so teams no longer build or maintain their own workarounds.

Time back for clients

Staff spend less of the day on data entry and more of it getting to know each client’s coverage needs.

A smooth move with lasting efficiency

The Applied Systems team guided BrokerTeam through each stage of the migration, with step-by-step support built around the brokerage’s structure. “The Applied team walked us through every stage, giving us peace of mind. After 20 years in business, I was concerned about making a change, but their guidance made the process manageable and set us up for success,” Andy said.

With dedicated support, thoughtful change management, and staff involved from the start, BrokerTeam moved to Applied Epic smoothly and set itself up for long-term efficiency as it grows.
