Commercial Insurance Renewal Comparison Software
A commercial renewal comparison should answer a harder question than “which quote is cheaper?” It should show what changed from the expiring program, where protection narrowed or expanded, and which details deserve a producer’s attention.
Renewal changes worth surfacing
Forms and exclusions
New restrictions, removed endorsements, or wording that changes the risk.
Property details
Values, coinsurance, valuation basis, and catastrophe deductibles.
Liability structure
Primary, umbrella, aggregate, and attachment-point changes.
Premium movement
Changes in price with the coverage context kept beside them.
Open questions
Missing or conflicting source information for the team to resolve.
Compare against the expiring program, not memory
Commercial accounts accumulate endorsements, schedule changes, and exceptions over time. Comparing a renewal quote only with another new quote can miss a reduction from the coverage the client already has.
Using the expiring policy as a baseline makes the review more defensible and gives the client a clearer explanation of the renewal recommendation.
Turn the review into a client deliverable
The internal comparison and the proposal should not be disconnected projects. CopyCat uses the same source documents to support the team’s review and build the branded output, reducing the amount of copying between tools.
Keep the producer in control
- Review cited differences before they become client-facing.
- Add context for deliberate changes and negotiated tradeoffs.
- Reorder the story around the exposures most important to the account.
- Preserve a full audit trail of actions taken in the workspace.
Frequently asked questions
Questions brokers ask
What documents are needed for a renewal comparison?
Typically the expiring policy or prior proposal plus the renewal quotes. Schedules, statements of values, and other account documents can provide additional context.
Does CopyCat make the coverage recommendation?
CopyCat organizes and surfaces information for the broker’s review. The licensed professional remains in control of the recommendation and final client communication.
Can it handle E&S and Lloyd’s documents?
Yes. CopyCat is designed to work with inconsistent carrier, MGA, E&S, and Lloyd’s documents rather than requiring a preset carrier template.
Can the renewal comparison use our branding?
Yes. The finished proposal can match the agency’s logo, colors, section structure, and established format.
