SureApp offers life insurance quotes and applications online.

Executive manager marketing and product Don Allerston said it would simplify the application process, as well as reducing error rates and duplication.

“SureApp ensures the adviser is clear on what information is required and in what format. It reduces the need for advisers to go back and forth to the client which is a huge step in the quote and application process.” 

Advisers using the system reported Asteron application times had dropped by up to two-thirds, he said.

Konnect managing director Peter Gardner said Asteron Life was the first to the New Zealand market with the new software. “Asteron Life have shown they are keen to take a lead in new technologies and they have supported us throughout with new direction and ideas.”

Allerston said the launch would not have gone ahead without the input of advisers.   “Our advisers have helped us create and shape this new platform. They have a growing desire to use technology to improve business efficiency.”

Advisers have been attending seminars to learn how to use the new system. Asteron expects all advisers to be confident about using it by the end of the month.
