NIG has launched an online quotation system for commercial package policies.
It said it will allow brokers to gain instant quotations on commercial package policies. The system is available through NIG's broker-only extranet, NIG Network.
Brokers will be able to issue immediate cover and print out proposal forms and policy schedules via the system.
NIG also said brokers and their clients would benefit from an e-commerce discount which is part of the new quotation system.
The company said that online commercial quoting was part of NIG's strategy to deliver electronic business solutions to brokers and offer them a choice in how they wished to trade with NIG.
As part of its strategy NIG was also actively talking to imarket about joining this industry initiative.
NIG Commercial head of business development David Parker, said: “This is another means of access to NIG for our brokers. Our network of commercial branch offices remains our key route to trading with brokers.
“This system presents our brokers with a choice in how they operate with NIG. Our brokers have made it clear that developments in technology are key to future trading, and this is an important advancement for NIG.”
NIG said it would be launching a major integrated marketing campaign to brokers over the next few weeks to support this initiative.
