iPipeline® – a leading provider of low code cloud-based software solutions for the life insurance and financial services industry – today announced recently acquired WELIS Systems has won the 2020 XCelent Award for Depth of Customer Service. The award is given to a company for outstanding performance in implementation and post-implementation services, training, the quality of user conferences, service-level agreement (SLA) scope and features, and mechanisms to obtain and service customer tickets. WELIS is long considered to be an industry leader in illustration systems for the U.S. life insurance industry. The acquisition of WELIS positions iPipeline as one of the largest providers of illustrations in North America.
The WELIS Ascent® Illustration System is designed to help insurers sell and service customers in a multi-channel distribution environment. The multi-time, award-winning software is constructed as a standard single life illustration system that can be transformed into a sophisticated multiple life/multiple plan system with a single button click.
“Happy customers are what customer service is all about, and the WELIS team delivers services at a level not easily emulated by others within the Illustration System industry. Stephen Frederick and his team are a unique breed with an intense focus on excellence,” said Larry Berran, CEO, iPipeline. “Celent’s awards are highly coveted within the life insurance industry, and I am thrilled to see WELIS setting the bar for depth of customer service within our industry. Our focus will remain fixed on maintaining exceptional customer satisfaction.”
“Celent’s framework for evaluating vendors is called the ‘Celent ABCD Vendor View.’ Our standard representation of a vendor marketplace is designed to show our industry readers at a glance the relative positions of each vendor in four categories: Advanced Technology, Breadth of Functionality, Customer Base, and Depth of Customer Service,” said Karen Monks, Senior Analyst, Celent. “In the category of Depth of Customer Service, WELIS emerged as the clear winner based on customer evaluations. We congratulate Stephen and his team on a job well done.”
“Our customers are viewed as family at WELIS. Our team’s accessibility for them is second to none, and we understand the critical role Ascent plays in their agents’ abilities to attract and secure customers,” said Stephen Frederick, Senior Advisor, iPipeline. “We are honored to receive this award and committed to maintaining the same level of performance for our customers in the future.”
Ascent will be integrated into iPipeline’s low code, SSG Digital® Platform to enable agents and advisors to quickly run real-time scenario-based illustrations, save them, and send them to customers for review and e-Signature through the PAS+® (Policy Administration System Plus) agent portal. Agents and advisors will also be able to run an illustration and include it during the e-App process to collect e-Signatures, reducing cycle times and improving iGO® e-App processing rates.
