All systems go for launch of Bright Grey's new extranet - The Exchange to be the first portal trading partner
Bright Grey is gearing up for the launch of its new extranet in January and encouraging advisers to register now for what will be a full online quote and apply capability.
Designed to be quick, easy and flexible to use, Bright Grey’s new extranet, www.brightadviser.co.uk, will enable advisers to mix and match amounts, covers and terms. They will be able to combine up to 10 covers in one quote and plan, ensuring they can get the most out of the flexibility offered under Bright Grey’s Protection menu product.
The online application process has been designed to mirror Bright Grey’s paper application. The familiar layout will make it easier for advisers to key information and copy details direct from the paper form if necessary, with the whole system designed to enable applications to be keyed on quickly and efficiently. Advisers will also be able to store and retrieve all quotes and applications for up to 30 days from the original quote date.
Andy Peters, Distribution Director at Bright Grey, says: “Our full quote and apply system takes a simple and flexible approach. It is being launched after extensive trials during which we sought to make sure that it does what it says on the tin, and makes the lives of financial advisers easier. While paper applications will still be accepted, the speed and flexibility offered by our new extranet is what many advisers are looking for, and we have seen a great deal of interest in its launch.”
Bright Grey also announces that The Exchange will be its first portal trading partner when its new extranet is launched. This means that as well as accessing Bright Grey’s quote and apply system directly at www.brightadviser.co.uk, advisers will also be able to click thru from Exweb’s new business service and all the quote and client data already keyed will be automatically transferred.
Access through other industry portals is also planned, and further announcements will be made in due course.
