Vertafore, a provider of market-leading software and services to the insurance industry, has announced the availability of Producer Plus 1.5, an upgrade to the existing software program that enables commercial insurance agents to grow their business and close sales. "We are proud to offer our customers even more ways to get a competitive edge," says Eric Maki, senior product manager with Vertafore. "With these enhancements, we've made one of the best solutions on the market even better, helping our customers increase efficiency and stay ahead of the competition."

The added flexibility in proposal creation allows agents to produce private-labeled proposals through custom visuals, templates, logos, and other branding components. Agents also now have the option to insert bookmarks to data from an application and customize cover pages with their logos.

The Producer Plus reference library gives users the ability to retrieve detailed information on 650 industries, from accounting to zoos. The upgrade provides agents with a snapshot of an industry, delivering assessments of risk and coverage options. Agents also receive real-time access to coverage definitions, an ISO forms library, manuscript endorsements, ACORD worksheets, and industry analyses. Users can find information about ISO General Liability and NCCI Workers' Compensation classification codes in stand-alone look-up tables.
