Lack of uniformity in carrier onboarding of agents. The appointment process takes 40-45 days on average, with each carrier requiring different forms, background checks, and compliance steps, creating a significant barrier for new agents and agencies expanding carrier relationships.

Analysis:

Carrier appointment automation is a clear workflow opportunity. A platform that standardizes and accelerates the appointment process across carriers could reduce a major friction point in distribution.
