Policy lifecycle workflows
Quote → bind → renew → cancel state machine with automated reminders, agent assignment, and renewal one-click flows. Built around your real underwriting process, not the default Opportunity object.
Service · Custom CRM · Healthcare Insurance
Salesforce and HubSpot weren't designed for agent-heavy mid-size healthcare insurers — and the math shows it. We build custom CRM layers that wrap your existing policy, claims, and billing systems, and cover only the workflows your team actually uses. Year 2 typically lands ~30% below your prior CRM bill; Year 5 closer to ~50%.

What we build
Quote → bind → renew → cancel state machine with automated reminders, agent assignment, and renewal one-click flows. Built around your real underwriting process, not the default Opportunity object.
License verification, territory and assignment rules, tiered commission engine, broker payout reconciliation — automated with full audit trail.
Single agent surface for renewals, plan changes, claim escalations, document requests. Replaces the shadow inbox + spreadsheet workflow most insurance ops live in.
PHI encrypted at rest, least-privilege access, password rotation, 15-minute idle logout, immutable audit logs exportable to your SIEM.
Integrates with Guidewire / Duck Creek / Insurity / in-house policy systems, your claims platform, billing engine, broker portal. Keeps the parts that work; replaces only what doesn't.
Deploys on your infrastructure (cloud or private datacenter). No recurring per-seat SaaS fees. You own the code, the data model, and the integrations.

FAQ
Usually no. Our most common engagement is a custom layer that wraps the parts of Salesforce that work (Accounts, Contacts, Cases, Shield audit) and replaces the parts that don't fit (Opportunities → Policies, agent management, commission). Migration risk is much lower than a full platform replacement.
Year 1 is typically flat-to-slightly-lower vs your prior CRM baseline — you're amortizing the build cost. Year 2 lands ~30% below. Year 3 lands closer to ~50%. Break-even on the total program cost (including build) typically hits in Year 4.
For a 150-employee mid-size insurer with 3 existing system integrations, the build is 6 months at $150K–250K fixed-price. Add 2 weeks of audit beforehand at no cost. After build: $40K–80K/year ongoing maintenance plus reduced internal admin headcount.
BAA-ready from day one. PHI encrypted at rest (AES-256, customer-managed keys) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Audit logs immutable and exportable to your SIEM. Deploys on HIPAA-eligible AWS, Azure, or your private infrastructure.
Yes. We've shipped CRMs with full AEP/OEP enrollment cycles, Medicare Beneficiary Identifier handling, healthcare proxy assignments, and primary care physician routing as first-class data model elements — not custom fields on a generic Account object.
Health Cloud is a Salesforce package — you still pay per-seat for every user. For agent-heavy ops where 70% of users only need a thin workflow surface, the seat math still doesn't work. A custom layer covers the same use cases at a fraction of the recurring cost, and you own the code.

Every healthcare insurance CFO has had this conversation: the Salesforce invoice lands, it's up 8% over last year, and the renewal includes an Enterprise Tier upgrade you weren't warned about. Here's how the overpay actually happens — and how to spot it in your own bill.
