Acre simplifies home insurance, with the help of Uinsure

23 May 2022: Acre, the innovative end-to-end mortgage intermediaries platform, has announced a new partnership with Uinsure to drastically simplify building and contents insurance advice. This exciting move means that advisers using Acre will now be able to help protect client homes as part of the mortgage journey in a matter of seconds.

There has never been a more important time to ensure consumers have the right coverage for their home as they face pressure from the rise in the cost of living. Advisers using Acre’s platform will be able to access the most accurate and best value home protection quotes at a click of a button, thanks to Uinsure’s advanced quoting technology and Acre’s unique way of storing and reusing property and client data.

Previous implementations required extensive data entry to get accurate quotes that provided good customer value. Acre and Uinsure’s teams have worked closely together to maximise data re-use, pulling on Acre’s proprietary property dataset and its unique client-centric data model. This helps Acre in its aim to be the one-stop shop for brokers – from CRM, lead capture and sourcing to fact finding, recommendation and application – saving brokers time and money whilst promoting better compliance.

Justus Brown, CEO and founder of Acre said: “Our aim is to allow brokers to spend more time focusing on their clients’ needs and deliver better outcomes with fewer delays. The way we approach data means we understand more about a property than any other tool available to brokers. Combining this deep, data-driven insight with Uinsure’s quoting and application capabilities means brokers can easily and quickly deliver the most accurate and best value policies – ensuring customers are well-covered should circumstances change in the current climate.

“We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Uinsure to help brokers deliver the home coverage clients need without data leakage and tons of extra effort.”

Lauren Bagley, Uinsure’s Chief Partnership and Marketing Officer, said: “Our ongoing mission is to remove the complexities from the GI journey and our integration with Acre means advisers have industry-leading tech available at their fingertips to make the journey for both themselves and their clients as easy as possible – all while including the purchase of insurance as part of their service.

“The partnership with Acre is a natural one. Acre’s software, like ours, has been built with customer experience at the very heart of the development. We’ve both been able to massively streamline and simplify the way our products can be offered through new tech developments and smart data integrations that gives advisers tremendous opportunity for significant time savings when using the platform.”

Since coming to market last year, brokers using Acre have already helped over 10 000 homebuyers get their mortgage, and active brokers have been doubling every three months. To find out more about Acre or to sign up to a demonstration, please visit www.acresoftware.com

Smartr365 expands its offering into home insurance with Uinsure partnership

UK, X 2022: The industry’s leading end-to-end mortgage provider, Smartr365, has expanded its offering into home insurance through a partnership with Uinsure, it was announced today. The integration seeks to further streamline the homeownership journey through the addition of home insurance to the integrated services already offered via Smartr365 platform.  

Clients will now be able to access quotes for home insurance within the platform in seconds, eliminating the need to consult external brokers. Instead, advisors utilising the Smartr365 platform can provide customers with a total-solution package across borrowing and insurance, with the aim of reducing paperwork and allowing more time for client engagement, in turn, helping to boost client retention. 

Thanks to auto-fill technology, brokers that have initially keyed in client data through Smartr365 will be able to create, tailor and compare quotes in seconds without needing to re-type personal details entered elsewhere on the platform. Other benefits include coordination between both Smartr365 and Uinsure platforms to ensure updates made through Uinsure are automatically reflected on Smartr365, streamlining the process to save advisors up to one hour per application.

The integration forms part of Smartr365’s quest to digitalise the mortgage journey, enhancing the borrowing experience from broker to buyer.

Conor Murphy, CEO and Founder, Smartr365 said:

“There has been real appetite amongst mortgage advisors to expand their services and we have listened, bringing borrowing and insurance together to allow brokers to offer clients a one-stop shop to homeownership and a truly end-to-end mortgage experience. This partnership means that brokers can offer a more comprehensive service to their clients, without the need for time consuming training and accreditation, available via the Smartr365 platform.

“Smartr365 is committed to saving brokers time and preventing paperwork in a bid to simplify the mortgage journey, and this partnership with Uinsure is no exception. Our innovative digital technologies and auto-population features will allow brokers to concentrate their efforts on providing ever-crucial advice to clients amidst such challenging economic circumstances.”  

Martin Schultheiss, Uinsure CCO, said: “As a result of our integration, advisers will benefit from industry-leading insurance technology that automatically extracts client data to build the relevant insurance policy, massively simplifying and streamlining the application process, all from within their existing client management platform – Smartr365.

“This technology was developed to help us achieve our mission of seeing GI offered alongside every mortgage application and as this can now be done in seconds from within adviser’s existing workspace, this will prove to be a significant hurdle in helping us achieve our goal.

“Both ourselves at Uinsure and the team at Smartr365 have delivered tech solutions that are built solely with the end customer in mind and given how we’re closely aligned in our drive to continually progress, we’re very much looking forward to how our partnership will evolve.”
