We're Heating Up

Summer is here and the sun is shining, but the weather isn't the only thing heating up. Over at FilingRamp, we are on fire with an agenda full of events, new releases—like our updated landing page!—and much more. Check it out.

A New Look for Our Landing Page 

First impressions can be lasting, so we elevated the look, feel, and format of our landing page to really showcase our offerings, integrations, and mission. Check it out.

Import Your Scanned Filings and Drastically Improve Your Records

Once upon a time, the filing industry actually didn't have SERFF. (Hard to imagine now, right?) Back then, things were done "old school" with processes that include all correspondence via snail mail and copy machines. Those days are long gone, but the data gathered from them is not. Much of the historical knowledge is usually archived, and not easily accessed, as they are saved in tif files.

Queue FilingRamp. We can actually scan these filings and run OCR on them for search and indexing. That means we are capable of taking that impossible, "will get to it one day" task off your hands and enhancing your database with valuable historical insights. All the forms and rates/rules in the filings appear in the Library feature, so you can see your forms from the ‘80s right next to the forms you are filing today. What a time hop! So you may have missed the spring cleaning, but that summer cleaning is here for you to try out. Contact us to get started.

Summer Makeover: Our New Dashboard

Our dashboard has been revamped! We have added more functionalities and features to ensure our customers have less on their to-do lists. You can now:

  • Access more updates and more data on the dashboard for further transparency

  • Receive notifications on tasks where you are mentioned to respond quickly

  • Communicate easier with our new Reminders feature

And don't forget, our Reminders feature can be added to any page and be sent through email or Microsoft Teams, if you have it, for simple, fast communication. We wanted to make sure FilingRamp offered the best experience for teams to connect—with less back and forth. Plus, with our updates, additional data, and notifications, there is simply no need for anything to fall through the cracks. Get in touch to learn more about it today!

  • Generated redlines can be saved in Ramp Drive and then uploaded to a filing

Expanded Roles

We’re designing more visual control for our users so you can determine which filings and features your users can see and what filings you can share with other accounts such as MGAs.

Conference Recap

The second quarter allowed FilingRamp to get out and connect in-person with the insurance industry at a couple of excellent conferences. In early May, FilingRamp attended the Target Markets (TMPAA) Mid-Year Conference in Boston for the second year in a row! It allowed us to not only chat with the many, many FilingRamp carrier customers in attendance, but to also connect with MGAs and discuss FilingRamp’s upcoming “Share Filings” feature. As a NYC company, FilingRamp kept things local and attended the Insurtech Insights conference at the Javits Center in Manhattan, in early June. The attendees at this conference couldn’t be more different than the carrier/agency dynamic of Target Markets. As the name would suggest, Insurtech Insights was full of exciting insurtech service providers offering a glimpse of the tools that insurance companies will need in a rapidly changing industry. Meanwhile, outside of the conference, the sky was a Mars-like orange color, which seemed to be fitting for a conference that focused on the future of insurance where the buzz words were APIs, analytics, AI, and machine learning.

Upcoming Events

We're gearing up for our next events and we can't wait to see you there! Be sure to stop by, see a demo, or just chat about the industry's latest.
