FNOL intake, triage, and adjuster dispatch

It’s Friday at 4:30pm. A client’s pipe burst. They call your agency. No one answers. They call the carrier direct, report the claim without you, and by Monday they’re wondering why they pay an agent at all. You find out a week later when the adjuster’s paperwork arrives.

Independent agencies miss 39% of inbound calls, and 47% of all insurance inquiries come in outside standard business hours. Among callers who reach voicemail, 85% never call back. That’s not a phone system problem. It’s a coverage gap that repeats every evening and every weekend.

When calls do get answered, manual FNOL intake creates its own costs. Industry data shows 60% of manually completed FNOL forms contain errors, which forces adjusters to make follow-up calls that add days to the settlement cycle. The average homeowner already waits 44 days from first notice to final payment. Incomplete intake makes it longer.

Our agent answers every call in six languages around the clock. It walks the caller through a structured first notice of loss, looks up their policy, triages severity, and dispatches the right adjuster with a complete intake packet in under five minutes. Your adjuster gets a clean assignment before the client has finished explaining the damage to their spouse.
