The NeedRemote Auto Insurance Accessibility
Dunbar Insurance and the Buntain Group are currently unable to do this
CONSISTENCY = Buntain Insurance has the capacity for remote property and commercial insurance .
LEGALITY = ICBC regulates that broker must see clients sigh documents.
EXPANSION = Buntain is missing opportunity to go to customers who aren’t able to come in during business hours (professionals, etc.)
EASE OF USE = All information held in central database in the case the clients have inquiries, lose their reminder forms, need to make endorsements.

CUSTOMER SERVICE = Customer information is retained and organized to add value through customer ability.
Purpose

efficiently year to year
