Executive Summary

ACME One helped an insurance technology company automate commercial underwriting by replacing manual submission reviews with an AI powered document processing platform.

The solution automatically ingests broker submissions, classifies insurance documents, extracts structured information, validates business rules, and delivers quote ready submissions within minutes. This reduced manual processing, improved underwriting consistency, and enabled teams to process significantly more submissions without increasing headcount.

Key Results

  • 92% faster underwriting turnaround.
  • 50% reduction in submission processing time.
  • 86% extraction accuracy across insurance documents.
  • 30% increase in underwriting capacity.
  • Quote ready submissions delivered in minutes.
  • Complete audit trail for every underwriting decision.

What Challenges Were Slowing Commercial Insurance Underwriting?

Commercial insurance submissions arrived through multiple channels, including broker emails, APIs, and portals, with every submission containing different document formats.

The underwriting team had to manually review ACORD forms, Statements of Values, loss runs, and supporting documents before making any decision. This slowed response times, created inconsistent risk evaluations, and prevented valuable underwriting data from being fully utilized.

The client needed a solution that could automate document processing without changing existing underwriting workflows.

Goals & Objectives

  • Automate submission intake from multiple channels.
  • Classify insurance documents automatically.
  • Extract structured underwriting data using AI.
  • Standardize underwriting decisions through business rules.
  • Deliver quote ready submissions faster.
  • Reduce manual effort while maintaining transparency.
  • Build a scalable platform capable of handling enterprise submission volumes.
How Did ACME One Turn Complex Insurance Documents into Quote Ready Decisions?
  • ACME One designed and implemented an event driven AI platform on Microsoft Azure that automates the complete underwriting intake process.
  • The platform receives submissions from broker emails, portals, APIs, SharePoint, and SFTP, then automatically classifies document types, extracts key underwriting information using AI, validates results through business rules, and routes low confidence fields for human review.
  • Every submission is processed asynchronously through queue based services, ensuring reliable performance during high volume periods while maintaining a complete audit trail for compliance.
