Advanced Insurance System by Garvin-Allen Solutions is supporting MGAs in agriculture markets

Garvin-Allen’s long time vendor relationship with Farmers Mutual Hail (FMH) has evolved into an exciting new collaboration with FMH subsidiary Ag Brokerage Solutions (ABS). Advanced Insurance System (AIS) is being used to bring ABS’s new Non-Admitted Farm and Ranch product to small and medium-sized farmers. For more than 30 years, Garvin-Allen Solutions has delivered configurable, enterprise-grade software to insurers and managing general agents (MGAs). “The insurance business has evolved significantly during our years in business, and we rely on our industry expertise and knowledge of our clients’ markets to adapt our technology. As your industry changes, so does our product,” said Rob Ivimey, President of Garvin-Allen Solutions. Recognized for its expertise in agricultural and specialty markets, Garvin-Allen’s AIS software also supports a full range of personal and commercial lines, including home, automobile, and business products. ABS capitalized on over 135 years of farm insurance experience to develop its new Non-Admitted Farm and Ranch product—a tailored risk management solution for today’s agricultural market. Garvin-Allen’s team worked closely with ABS to ensure the software delivered the flexibility needed to support this new offering. “Garvin-Allen collaborates with our team,” said Wade Preston, AVP, Operations at Ag Brokerage Solutions. “They work closely with us to solve challenges and provide solutions using their flexible design, so we can configure it to fit our business. That agility gives us a real competitive advantage as we continue to grow.” Garvin-Allen and Ag Brokerage Solutions are combining their deep agricultural experience to navigate an evolving insurance landscape. Flexible, configurable software that adapts to the needs of its agents and customers is just one of ABS’s advantages.
