About Us
InsuranceNoodle
InsuranceNoodle is a web-enabled wholesaler of commercial property and casualty insurance products from the nation's leading insurance companies. Agents who use the InsuranceNoodle system get access to products and quotes from multiple carriers using a single application data entry system. This is backed up with support from a state-of-the-art service center staffed by licensed insurance agents who work with technology and the carriers to place risks and to provide servicing of in-force accounts.
Noodle Specialty Brokers
To meet the specialty product (professional liability and specialty property and casualty insurance) needs of the small commercial marketplace not currently met by the standard admitted markets, Noodle Specialty Brokers, a division of InsuranceNoodle, has been established.
Based on InsuranceNoodle’s proprietary single entry (SEMCI) technology, Noodle Specialty Brokers provides retailers and wholesalers online access to specialty small commercial products. NSB will offer admitted and non-admitted products as a program manager for nationally recognized carriers.
NSB's Internet-based front end includes appetite information – which enables submitting producers to quickly determine if a specific product is available – and screens unwanted risks before being seen by the underwriter. The technology package also handles submissions, quotes and service for active policies, creates a submission management platform, date- and time-stamps each transaction, and creates a complete electronic file. The program database analyzes submission and transaction information thoroughly and instantly and provides the ability to deliver an application electronically to a referral underwriter and translate the application into Acord and supplemental applications.
Currently, Noodle Specialty Brokers offers appointed wholesalers and agents direct access to the following products and programs:
- Directors' & Officers' Liability
- Employment Practices Liability
- Fiduciary Liability
The following products are currently available through the InsuranceNoodle website and to other appointed wholesalers/agencies:
- Workers' Compensation for restaurants and taverns
Additional products are being developed.
