VIPR Solutions (VIPR), the leading AI-enabled technology platform for Delegated Authority intelligence, and WCL, a Zywave organisation, today announced the launch of the market’s first complete end-to-end digital workflow for non-bureau Delegated Underwriting, eliminating the longstanding manual handoff between broker submission and downstream bordereaux processing.

The ground-breaking collaboration brings together two best-of-breed Insurtech platforms to create a fully connected workflow for non-bureau Delegated Underwriting, delivering real platform integration and measurable operational benefits for carriers, MGAs and reinsurers.

Non-bureau Delegated Underwriting workflows have long relied on fragmented processes, with bordereaux data typically dropping out of the digital workflow after initial submission and being manually reloaded into downstream systems. The VIPR/WCL collaboration closes that longstanding gap.

WCL captures each broker submission and attaches bordereau through its non-bureau front-end, before structured data and source documents are directly delivered to the VIPR platform. AI-enabled validation, reconciliation and reporting then produce clean, digital, decision-ready output. One workflow. Two platforms.

The VIPR/WCL solution provides customers with an end-to-end digital workflow from broker submission through to decision-ready data, eliminating manual bordereaux reloading between front-end and downstream systems. AI-enabled validation surfaces data quality issues at the point of capture rather than weeks later, while a single, defensible data trail improves reporting, oversight and portfolio visibility.

The workflow also accelerates onboarding for new delegated arrangements while reducing operational risk.

“The most frequent question that WCL and VIPR customers ask is often the same one: How can we easily access risk, premium and claims data for a delegated authority agreement at both the individual transaction and master contract level to help us better price, reserve, monitor and report on that book of business? Until now, the honest answer has been a workaround. But with this solution - one workflow, two platforms - the non-bureau landscape has changed.” Marc Jackson, WCL Head of Commercial

Tony Russell, Chief Revenue Officer, VIPR, added: “Non-bureau Delegated Authority underwriting still runs on a broken process. Brokers send placement messages with bordereaux attached. Front-end systems present a top-level view of the risk. From that point on, the data drops out of the digital workflow and is loaded into downstream systems by hand. Carriers, MGAs and reinsurers tolerate it because no single provider has closed the gap. The VIPR/WCL solution does exactly that.”
