Setting Up SignNow for Insurance Workflows

Getting started with SignNow is straightforward, whether you’re a solo agent or part of a large insurance organization.

Collecting In-Person Electronic Signatures

Insurance claims and policy agreements often require in-person signatures for legal or regulatory reasons. SignNow’s mobile-friendly platform makes this process effortless. Agents can bring an iPad or tablet to client meetings, open the necessary documents, and guide clients through the signing process using Kiosk Mode. This ensures all required fields are completed accurately, eliminating the need for follow-up appointments or missing information. For example, Groupama’s Agricultural Experts use SignNow on iPads during on-site assessments. The claimant signs directly on the device, and a signed PDF is instantly emailed to both the client and the agent for secure recordkeeping. This digital approach replaces cumbersome paper forms and manual scanning, dramatically speeding up the claims process and improving the client experience.

Secure Cloud Storage and Document Management

With SignNow, every signed document is automatically stored in the cloud, protected by advanced encryption and robust access controls. This means insurance agents and brokers can retrieve, share, and archive documents from anywhere, without the risk of lost paperwork or unauthorized access. SignNow’s document management features include:

• Automatic naming conventions (e.g., using claim numbers for easy reference)
• Team-based access controls to ensure only authorized personnel can view sensitive files
• Comprehensive audit trails for every document, supporting compliance and dispute resolution

This secure, centralized approach not only streamlines internal workflows but also reassures clients that their personal and financial information is handled with the utmost care.

Automating Client Document Delivery

One of the standout features of SignNow for insurance is the ability to automate the delivery of signed documents. As soon as a client completes a signature, SignNow can instantly email a PDF copy to the client, the agent, and any other relevant parties. This eliminates delays, reduces manual follow-up, and ensures everyone has the documentation they need for next steps. For instance, Groupama’s workflow automatically sends signed claim assessments to clients and management, replacing the old process of mailing or scanning paper copies. This automation not only saves time but also enhances transparency and trust with clients, who appreciate receiving their documents immediately.

Streamlining Claims Processing with SignNow

Claims processing is at the heart of every insurance operation, and delays can lead to client frustration and increased administrative costs. SignNow transforms claims workflows by enabling agents to:

• Collect signatures on-site or remotely, reducing the need for physical meetings
• Sync signed documents directly to office systems for review and approval
• Track the status of every claim in real time, with notifications for completed actions

Groupama’s experience demonstrates the impact: after implementing SignNow, their claims were resolved 55% faster, and clients received signed copies almost immediately, resulting in a 40% drop in complaints. These measurable improvements highlight how digital transformation with SignNow can set your agency apart.

Improving Compliance and Security in Insurance

Insurance organizations handle sensitive personal and financial data, making compliance and security top priorities. SignNow is designed with these needs in mind, offering:

• End-to-end encryption for all documents and communications
• Two-factor authentication options for signers
• Detailed audit trails that record every action taken on a document
• Compliance with industry standards such as HIPAA for health-related insurance documents

These features help insurance providers meet regulatory requirements, reduce risk, and build client trust. As noted by industry leaders, SignNow’s security measures — including IP address tracking and customizable authentication — provide peace of mind for both agents and clients.

Measuring Efficiency and Customer Satisfaction Gains

The transition to digital workflows with SignNow yields tangible results for insurance agencies and brokers. Key performance indicators to track include:

• Claim resolution time — Groupama saw a 55% reduction after adopting SignNow.
• Client complaints — A 40% decrease was reported due to faster, more transparent document delivery.
• Paper and storage costs — Agencies like GRBM dramatically reduced paper usage and freed up office space.
• Employee productivity — Less time spent on manual paperwork means more time for client service and business growth.

By regularly measuring these metrics, insurance organizations can demonstrate ROI and continuously optimize their digital processes.
