A customized service portal
Customers sign in to a Lepelco-branded portal to find their policy documents whenever they need them.
Customer Story
Since moving to Applied Epic, Lepelco has gone paperless in Personal and Commercial Lines and reached over $60 million in premiums.
Challenge
Committed to providing outstanding customer service, Lepelco Assurance was determined to digitally transform in order to scale the business. Their previous technology limited their ability to manage workflows, grow their commercial book, and give customers the choice to communicate online or on their mobile devices.

Solution
Now with Applied Epic, Lepelco's customers reach the brokerage through a self-service portal and a mobile app, both connected to Applied Epic, which gave Lepelco a digital customer experience and a path to paperless service.
Commercial lines automation followed, and Lepelco brought it into its digital portfolio quickly. The brokerage now automates and standardizes both marketing and the in-force policy lifecycle. Its commercial lines team generates paperless submissions faster, receives quotes sooner because the inputs are standardized, and creates branded proposals to win more business.
Going digital also allowed Lepelco to successfully send more than 30,000 emails directly to customers during the pandemic. Customers could log in to the brokerage's portal and securely access their insurance documents. Because every communication started in Applied Epic, staff could be precise and personal in their outreach, which earned customer satisfaction and trust.
Leadership recognized that data is key. Lepelco adopted Applied Epic workflows to capture contact data, and the management system now holds email data for 86% of Personal Lines and 94% of Commercial Lines. Ongoing KPIs track portal and mobile app adoption to keep it growing.
One profile per account carries through renewal reviews, new prospects, and quoting, so the team works from the same facts.

Results
Since moving to Applied Epic and becoming a digital brokerage, Lepelco has grown. It now has more than 75 employees, and premium exceeds $60 million, a 150% increase.
Customers were quick to adopt document access through the brokerage-branded portal. Adoption reached 62% in personal lines and 91% in commercial lines.
Behind those numbers is a detailed change management process that involved the whole brokerage and started with data. Applied Epic changed the quality of the reports department heads receive and the way they're produced, and each group championed the implementation for its own objectives. Teams built new business models, unified their processes, and kept data quality high through their workflows, so critical business information stays reliable as Lepelco continues to grow.
