Overview

JenesisNow is a cloud-based agency management system from Jenesis Software, built for independent insurance agencies. It keeps client and policy records, carrier downloads for personal and commercial lines, commissions, agency accounting and a client portal in one system, and connects to outside raters, phone systems and e-signature services. Prices are not published; the vendor asks agencies to request a demo, and states that some integrated products are charged on top of the standard monthly fee.

Our take

Pick it if you run an independent agency and want downloads, commissions, accounting and a client portal kept together, with quoting handled by a rater you connect. Agencies in North Carolina get a built-in comparative rater on top. If you need the price before talking to sales, or a documented API for your own integrations, an agency system with published plans is the better fit, since this vendor shows neither on its site.
