Toronto, ON (Oct. 16, 2024) \u2013 CSIO congratulates L\u2019Unique General Insurance for achieving Commercial Lines (CL) Data Standards Certification for the Real Estate industry segment. L\u2019Unique is the first insurer to become Certified in this segment.<\/p>\n
Real-time quoting allows accurate commercial policy data to instantly flow between insurer systems and Broker Management Systems (BMS) through an Application Programming Interface (API), facilitating the delivery of quotes in seconds, as opposed to days. L\u2019Unique has programmed CSIO\u2019s CL Data Standards for Real Estate risks, allowing brokers to receive online quotes directly in their BMS. This innovation removes the need for manual data entry, logging into multiple portals, or contacting insurers via email or phone to request quotes.<\/p>\n
\u201cL\u2019Unique is proud to be at the forefront of optimizing commercial quoting for Real Estate risks,\u201d said Guy Lecours, Chief Operating Officer, Unica Insurance and L\u2019Unique General Insurance. \u201cWe are dedicated to empowering our broker partners to offer their clients exceptional service. This commitment drives our ongoing investment in technology, enabling innovative solutions that enhance operational efficiency across our brokerage network.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am delighted to recognize L\u2019Unique as our first Certified insurer for Real Estate risks,\u201d said Catherine Smola, President & CEO of CSIO. \u201cBy implementing CL Data Standards, L\u2019Unique demonstrates their commitment to real-time quoting, empowering brokers to seize business opportunities more effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n
To achieve CL Data Standards Certification, insurers and BMS vendors must program the Standards to enable online quoting through an API for any of CSIO\u2019s 12 published industry segments, supporting 376 IBC codes. Additionally, an insurer or BMS vendor can become Certified for CL policy binding for any or all industry segments.<\/p>\n
Insurers and BMS vendors can access the CL Data Standards Business Requirements and Certification Document<\/a>, which includes the requirements for programming CL Data Standards for each segment and the Certification process. They can also use CSIO\u2019s CL Validator<\/a> to confirm if their XML file complies with the CL Data Standards during implementation. Brokers are invited to visit csio.com<\/a> to view the IBC codes included in CL Data Standards.<\/p>\n L\u2019Unique was founded in 1978.
