HawkSoft and InsuredMine Introduce API-Powered Integration Between Systems

HawkSoft, InsuredMine | January 19, 2021

HawkSoft, the Oregon-based insurtech company, launched an integration with InsuredMine, a Texas-based insurtech that gives sales, CRM, marketing automation, analytics, and a client mobile app in an all-in-one platform. HawkSoft embraces a collaborative API approach to help independent agencies leverage a different range of innovation partners. HawkSoft's inclusivity can go the extra mile while partnering with insurtech sellers that aim at consolidating key functionality into bound together platforms. InsuredMine utilizes HawkSoft's Partner API to populate their framework with client and strategy data pulled in near real-time from the HawkSoft agency management framework. Data from HawkSoft is used all through InsuredMine's CRM and sales work processes to assist agencies with accelerating business sales and delve further into their present book of business for cross-sales and rounding openings. Client and strategy data is also leveraged for client segmentation and automation triggers to dribble communications via advanced functionality of the Engagement module in InsuredMine. InsuredMine's mobile app for insureds also works with data in HawkSoft to allow an agency to offer mobile access to their policyholders without the requirement for any extra data section.

"HawkSoft is excited to collaborate with InsuredMine and their suite of business productivity tools," said Rushang Shah, VP of Marketing at HawkSoft.  "InsuredMine, like HawkSoft, is a product-driven company," continued Rushang, "and the scope of functionality within their product allows an agency to check off so much of their insurance tech stack from one vendor."

"Integrating with HawkSoft is not just about providing a world-class solution or eliminating friction in the process for client agencies but investing in relationships that have a similar organizational mindset and obsession of driving value for clients," said Raution Jaiswal, Co-founder of InsuredMine.
