Working in Akron

Akron turned a rubber industry into a polymer and materials economy, which means an unusual number of small technical firms here have real engineering data to manage and no one whose job it is to manage it.

Around the towpath and the old rubber works, a policy that lapsed because nobody saw the date is the failure independent agencies will describe to you unprompted. the policy file is the reason it happens, and custom software development is the part they have not costed yet.

  • Polymers, rubber, and the research economy that grew out of them
  • Health systems, the University of Akron, and specialty manufacturing

What this actually looks like

Custom Software for independent agencies

Agencies rarely need a new agency management system. They need the layer around it — the renewal tracking, the commission reconciliation, and the client view that pulls policy, claims, and correspondence into one screen when the phone rings. We build against what the carriers actually give you, which is downloads and portals rather than clean APIs, so a lot of the work is turning inconsistent carrier data into something you can report on.

Locally it shows up as a policy that lapsed because nobody saw the date — the kind of failure every Akron owner remembers, nobody has costed, and Custom Software is measured against.

What we would look at first in Akron

  • What one system that holds the whole job would have to look like before the account manager in Akron would trust it with the policy file
  • What the renewal window costs in hours, in Akron and at any other site the custom software development would cover
  • How quickly renewals retained could be reported in Akron after custom software development, without anybody staying late
  • Which parts of the agency system, four carrier portals, and Outlook are worth carrying into the Akron custom software development build, and which charge rent

What changes for independent agencies

  • Renewals surface early instead of lapsing quietly
  • Client history in one place when the phone rings
  • Commission numbers that reconcile without a spreadsheet

One system your team actually uses, on desktop, tablet, and phone.

Questions

What Akron businesses ask us

What happens if something breaks after hours?

Coverage is agreed in writing beforehand, set against your clock rather than ours. For an insurance operation in Akron that usually means the renewal window is the hour that cannot slip, and an evening a week rebuilding a report is what we are insuring against.

Will Custom Software survive our busiest stretch?

It has to, so we plan the work around the renewal window rather than through it. In Akron, OH that also means scheduling on-site time when it helps rather than when it suits us: Akron is up I-77 from us, close enough to the corridor we drive most often that on-site days here are routine.

We are a small insurance operation in Akron. Are we too small for custom software development?

No. Most of our clients are businesses where the account manager is also three other roles. If the policy file has outgrown the agency system, four carrier portals, and Outlook, you are who this was built for.

Who owns the work when the custom software development is finished?

You do — data, documentation, and the system. For independent agencies in Akron that matters more than most, because the records inside the agency system, four carrier portals, and Outlook are often the most valuable thing the business owns.
