Overview

Menlo for Agents is software for independent insurance agents that turns each risk into one prefilled application, sends it to the eligible carriers on Menlo's platform and keeps quotes, client follow-ups and placement documents in one file. Alongside the software, Menlo Insurance Services, a brokerage holding licences in California and Texas, provides back-office placement support as a service. Prices are not published; the vendor offers a demo call.

Our take

Pick Menlo for Agents if your agency wants to hand part of the placement work, not just the typing, to an outside team while you keep the client relationship and the final send. If you need a system of record for the whole book, with renewals and accounting, pair it with or compare it against a full agency management system instead. Check that the markets you place most often are among the carriers on its platform before you book the demo.
