Vlocity Releases Vlocity Insurance 2.0

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 17, 2014) - Vlocity, the first Industry Cloud software company to deliver multiple industry-specific applications on the Salesforce1 Platform, announced that Vlocity Insurance 2.0 is now available. Tailored to the specific needs of insurance carriers, agents and brokers, Vlocity Insurance 2.0 delivers an improved omni-channel client experience at a lower cost of ownership versus on-premise legacy applications, non-industry specific software, or custom development.

Vlocity also announced that ABD Insurance & Financial Services (ABD) is now live on Vlocity Insurance 2.0. Ranked as one of the top 100 U.S. brokers of risk and reward advisory services, San Francisco Bay Area-based ABD selected Vlocity to provide its teams with cloud and mobile access to critical policies and benefit plan data from multiple agency management systems. ABD's practice areas include employee benefits, 401k and retirement services, property & casualty insurance, executive protection, private client services, and more.

"Vlocity Insurance 2.0 enables insurance carriers, agencies and brokerages to leverage their policy and portfolio data to maximize up-sell opportunities while catering to specific customers needs, all from a mobile device or the cloud," said Vlocity CEO and founder David Schmaier. "ABD is an organization committed to serving their customers through innovation, and to delivering the best possible omni-channel experience. We are excited to help them more effectively reach, manage and serve their customers."

"Deploying Vlocity Insurance alongside our Salesforce installation allows ABD to meet our long-term company goals for productivity and revenue while serving as the best customer service advocates possible for our clients," said Brent Rineck, CIO ABD. "Because Vlocity is 100% native and additive to Salesforce, we quickly extended our Salesforce deployment with the Vlocity Insurance policies and claims module and Vlocity's mobile app for iOS."

Vlocity Insurance 2.0 provides real-time client, policy and contact information via cloud and mobile apps for ABD agents. Built on the Salesforce1 Platform and integrated with ABD's Vertafore Agency Management System, Vlocity provides back office integration with no duplicate policies and claims entries between Salesforce and Vertafore.
