Applied Epic delivers the most technologically advanced software application to independent insurance agencies to enable faster growth and profitability in a changing insurance marketplace. Applied Epic is a single, integrated and open application that provides essential capabilities for each stakeholder within an agency to better manage customer relationships, sales opportunities, market appetite search, financial accounting and policy and benefits administration across all lines of business, eliminating the need for separate, disparate systems.

Applied Epic’s scalable software architecture provides agencies with multiple global locations the ability to manage expansion and business growth with ease.
“As a growing agency, we are focused on integrating leading technology as the foundation of a digital business model to drive operational efficiencies and profitability,” said Rob Townley, principal, Townley Kenton. “Applied Epic will enable us to scale our business and increase productivity through enhanced automation and standardized reporting. Additionally, Applied CSR24 extends our customer experience by providing our clients an online portal to reference policy information, download certificates of insurance, and manage claims while on-the-go and at their own convenience.”
Applied CSR24, the leading cloud-based client self-service software, enables agencies to meet today’s insurance consumer demand for anytime, anywhere access to information by providing 24/7 access to insurance policy information, claims filing and processing, premium payments and insurance documents through an online agency-branded client portal or mobile application via Applied MobileInsured. Applied CSR24 seamlessly integrates with agency management systems, reducing manual administrative tasks and allowing agents to devote more time to serving customers and securing new business.
