Overview

EZLynx is a cloud agency management system for independent insurance agencies, owned by Applied Systems and used by more than 37,000 agencies by the vendor's count. It puts client and policy records, a comparative rater for personal lines, sales and renewal workflows, agency accounting and a client self-service portal in one browser-based platform. The vendor addresses it to new and growing agencies, from startups to multi-location firms. Prices are not published; a free trial and a buy-now path are offered, with special pricing on request.

Our take

Pick EZLynx if you are opening or growing a personal lines agency and want quoting, the client record and the renewal re-quote in one login rather than a separate rater wired to a separate system. If your book is mostly commercial, check the newer commercial submission workflow against your own carriers before you commit. If you already run a management system you are happy with, a standalone rater or a sales add-on is the smaller change.

Personal and commercial lines policies, documents, service requests and client communications on one client record, viewed and updated in real time from any device
Lines of business and markets

Comparative rating and quoting
Comparative Rater quotes home and auto with 330+ carriers from one entry, with prefill and verified lookups via LexisNexis, Fenris, MSB and Google Maps. A separate commercial lines rater sends one entry to appointed carriers for real-time quotes, with NAICS appetite guidance.

Client portal and certificates
Client Center self-service portal where policyholders view policy information, download ID cards, generate certificates of insurance, submit change requests and follow claims
Compliance records and audit trail
A policy change request submitted through the customer portal creates an audit trail automatically; accounting includes auditing capabilities with a structured month-end close workflow, and earned commissions are kept apart from premiums to keep the premium trust balanced
