The GA Advantage: Visibility, Efficiency, and Control

Executive Summary

General agencies (GAs) are expected to move fast, support multiple brokers, manage countless renewals, and deliver consistent, accurate results across every case. Most are doing that work with a patchwork of spreadsheets, email threads, outdated quoting systems, and manual tracking that slows everything down.

Plansight gives GAs the visibility, efficiency, and control they need to scale. With automated proposal building, pre-branded presentations for every agency in your network, integrated QA, and real-time tracking of RFP and carrier responses, GAs can reduce manual work, speed up turnaround times, and strengthen the strategic value they bring to both brokers and carriers.

Plansight helps GAs become the partner brokers want to send more business to.

Why GAs Need a More Strategic, Tech-Enabled Workflow

General agencies sit in a unique spot. You support multiple producers, carry heavy quoting workloads, and often rebuild current benefits from scratch because you are not always involved year over year. You balance internal efficiency with the need to deliver fast, polished results to your agencies. And you are judged on accuracy, turnaround time, and strategic value.

Traditional tools cannot keep up with that pressure. Manual tracking of where each group sits, which carriers have responded, which quotes are still pending, and which agencies need updates takes hours. And when you operate at scale, the margin for error drops to zero.

Plansight gives GAs a way to manage everything in one platform so you can work quickly, confidently, and consistently.

The Only Platform GAs Need to Manage Their Broker Network

Plansight helps general agencies streamline operations, control quality, and deliver a strategic advantage that keeps brokers coming back.

Whether you use the platform internally or open shared environments for your agencies, Plansight makes your team faster and more efficient without adding back-office headcount.

You get a repeatable, consistent process that improves productivity across every line you support.

Key Ways Plansight Helps General Agencies

1. Build Current, Renewal, and Proposal Packages with AI

Many GAs rebuild benefits from scratch each year or whenever they support a new broker. Plansight uses AI (PlansightAI) to quickly and accurately create current, renewal, and proposal structures, helping you stay ahead during peak season when time is scarce. As health care costs rise and benefits packages become more complex, AI-supported builds give teams a major advantage.

This speeds up your workflow and protects your team from falling behind during peak season.

2. Provide Pre-Branded Presentations for Every Agency

GAs often support dozens of agencies, all with different branding requirements. In Plansight, each agency can be set up as its own office with its own brand settings, so your team can generate polished presentations in seconds. Agencies get a clean, professional look without requiring any manual formatting.

You look professional. Your partners feel supported. And you eliminate hours of repetitive design work.

3. Reduce Manual Tracking Across Carriers and Cases

Plansight removes the headache of tracking RFPs through scattered emails or updating a spreadsheet for every carrier response. The platform shows who has opened your request, who has responded, and where each group sits in real time. This helps your team move faster and keeps your agencies updated without long back-and-forth email chains. If your current workflow still lives in spreadsheets, the improvements often feel similar to what teams experience when moving to more efficient tools, like  SmartsheetingAI.

4. Increase Accuracy with Integrated QA and Automated Checks

Accuracy is everything for a GA. Mistakes lead to churn, missed opportunities, and frustrated agencies. Plansight includes integrated QA tools that help ensure data, rates, and benefit structures are correct long before presentations ever go out the door. This approach mirrors the standards described in our work on renewal automation and QA, and the focus we put on scaling accuracy and client impact. When your team can trust what is in the system, everything else becomes easier.

5. Scale Your Team without Adding More Staff

The right technology lets GAs do more work with fewer people. Plansight helps teams handle more cases in less time, especially during peak renewal season. This gives GAs room to support more agencies and more lines without overwhelming their internal staff. For teams evaluating AI strategy, resources such as choosing the right AI and 5 practical AI tips offer helpful context for adopting the right tools. The same mindset also supports multi-line quoting, including products like Life and AD&D, which are increasingly AI-ready.

How GAs Strengthen Their Strategic Value with Plansight

The GAs that are thriving today are moving far beyond past perception. As AI and automation handle more repetitive tasks, GAs can shift toward deeper insights, stronger recommendations, faster modeling, and a more thoughtful renewal experience. These trends align with where the industry is headed.

Plansight helps GAs deliver:

• Faster turnaround times
• Stronger benefit recommendations
• Visibility into multi-carrier performance
• Contribution modeling and bundling strategies
• A smoother, higher-quality experience for brokers and their clients

Many top-performing GAs are also helping brokers build trust with thoughtful education and insight. That approach mirrors the ideas inside our work on thinking outside the box and the growing importance of personal brand and advisory skills, reflected in the shift toward the broker’s new moat.

Integrations also play a significant role in helping GAs simplify their workflows, especially when they already use multiple systems.

More Reasons GAs Love Plansight
