Andesa Services helps life and annuity carriers increase efficiency, reduce costs with new self-service portal tool

ALLENTOWN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Andesa Services, Inc., a leading provider of comprehensive, integrated policy administration, plan administration and support solutions for life insurance and annuity carriers and producers, is pleased to announce the official launch of the Policy Self-Service Portal, a new tool that allows policy owners to access and manage policy information via a secure, web-based platform.

“These days, policyholders expect that self-service options will be available to them”

With the Policy Self-Service Portal, routine policy maintenance is handled by the policyholder, mitigating the need for carriers to establish resource-draining call centers. Likewise, the system’s user-friendly interface allows end customers to easily and securely access policy information, further reducing customer service costs.

“These days, policyholders expect that self-service options will be available to them,” said Andesa Services President and CEO Ron Scheese. “From their 401(k) and IRA to their credit card and mortgage, end customers are used to being able to make account changes and access information themselves. The Policy Self-Service Portal allows carriers to offer modern self-service tools as part of their customer service offerings. This is an important step toward reducing costs while improving policyholder satisfaction.”

The Policy Self-Service Portal works in concert with Andesa’s Integrated New Business Portal, launched last week, to increase efficiency and streamline the enrollment and new business process.
