Imagi-Tech is a technology company headquartered in Marietta, Ohio, serving independent agencies across Western Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh, PA.

Working in Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh turned a steel economy into a health and technology one without losing its manufacturing base, and small firms here are often competing for staff against companies that pay software salaries.

Around the inclines up Mount Washington, 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.

  • Health systems, robotics and software, and specialty metals
  • Universities, energy services, and financial operations

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 Pittsburgh owner remembers, nobody has costed, and Custom Software is measured against.

What we would look at first in Pittsburgh

  • What one system that holds the whole job would have to look like before the account manager in Pittsburgh would trust it with the policy file
  • How quickly renewals retained could be reported in Pittsburgh after custom software development, without anybody staying late
  • Whether a new hire in Pittsburgh could run the policy file end to end in week one of one system that holds the whole job
  • What independent agencies around the inclines up Mount Washington already get from custom software development that your setup cannot

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.

How we cover Pittsburgh

Custom Software in Pittsburgh, PA

For Pittsburgh businesses, Custom Software usually starts at the third re-keying of the same numbers. Pittsburgh is a straight drive northeast from Marietta, worked as planned on-site days. We would rather start before that, because an evening a week rebuilding a report is an expensive way to schedule a project around the renewal window.

Our nearest office is a straight drive northeast from our Marietta office, which for independent agencies mostly means custom software development questions get answered by someone who has stood in front of the agency system, four carrier portals, and Outlook.

What custom software development includes

  • Business process review and documentation
  • System blueprint with diagrams and user cases
  • Prototype checkpoints before anything ships

Everything custom software development covers

The systems we end up in

  • Agency management and policy records
  • Carrier portals and downloads
  • Claims tracking and documentation
  • Renewal and commission reporting

How we work

Four slices, and you approve every one

1 2 3 4

Before custom software development builds anything we agree in writing what "done" means for the policy file, the renewal window, and renewals retained. That document is what keeps a Pittsburgh project from becoming a subscription.

  2. 2 Blueprint
  3. 3 Prototype
  4. 4 Launch and support

The short version

Why this page exists

Custom Software here means treating renewals retained as the point and software as the means. In Pittsburgh that looks like fewer systems, the policy file entered once, and the account manager doing the job they were hired for.

Questions

What Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh, PA that also means scheduling on-site time when it helps rather than when it suits us: Pittsburgh is a straight drive northeast from Marietta, worked as planned on-site days.

We are a small insurance operation in Pittsburgh. 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 Pittsburgh 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.

Describe the mess. For independent agencies it is usually the agency system, four carrier portals, and Outlook, and we have seen enough Pittsburgh versions of it to skip the preamble and get to custom software development.
