I co-founded Griptiller after decades of seeing every touchpoint throughout the insurance process being riddled with the potential for errors. Brokers and agents are continually managing and re-managing bad data and poorly named documents. We saw the opportunity to help brokers save 40% of their time that is wasted on managing bad data. We’d like them to use that new found time to focus on acquiring new business. Looking for opportunity to realize more premiums and increased commissions?
