How Applied Rating Hub Transforms Manual Bordereaux into Automated Excellence

In the rapidly evolving UK insurance landscape, many insurers and MGAs still rely on manual bordereaux processes. These detailed reports, which track policies, premiums, and claims, have long been a staple for managing complex insurance products. However, while manual bordereaux offered flexibility in accommodating bespoke contracts across legacy systems, they are increasingly viewed as inefficient, error-prone, and costly in today’s digital world.

Why Manual Bordereaux May No Longer Meet Industry Needs   

Manual bordereaux demand significant labour and are susceptible to mistakes during data entry, inconsistent reporting formats, and slow processing times. These inefficiencies delay premium reconciliation, claims settlements, and risk assessments, ultimately hampering an insurer’s or MGA’s ability to respond quickly in a competitive market. Furthermore, manual systems struggle with high data volumes, complicate reconciliation, and elevate operational expenses. Limited audit trails and potential data security gaps also expose businesses to regulatory risks—an ever-growing concern amid increasing compliance demands.  

Historically, manual bordereaux allowed brokers and MGAs to highlight critical underwriting or claims data tailored to unique business needs. Yet as digital technology matures, these legacy processes can no longer support the accuracy, speed, or scalability essential in today’s environment. The UK insurance market demands standardisation, transparency, and swift data sharing—challenges that manual methods fail to meet efficiently.

The Case for Automation: Creating Competitive Advantage  

Digital transformation through automation is no longer optional; it’s essential. Automated bordereaux processing eliminates human error, enforces consistent data formats, and accelerates premium and claims reporting. This leads to better cash flow management and operational agility. Insurers and MGAs benefit from cost savings by reducing manual labour and cutting down on time spent correcting errors or resolving disputes.

Automation also enhances integration across underwriting, claims, and finance systems—unlocking advanced analytics and real-time insights. For brokers and reinsurers, automated data exchange fosters trust through timely, transparent reporting. As business grows, automated platforms scale easily, allowing flexible responses to regulatory changes and market demands without proportional rises in resource needs.
