FAQ

Common questions

Do I have to leave my Big Box AMS?

No. VentFlow is designed to work alongside your existing AMS. Keep it for carrier compliance and policy records. Your team runs day-to-day operations in VentFlow and syncs data back as needed.

Will my aggregator or carrier relationships change?

Nothing changes on the carrier side. Your AMS remains the system of record for downloads, endorsements, and regulatory reporting. VentFlow handles everything your team touches before and after the policy is bound.

What if we are locked into a multi-year AMS contract?

That is common — and it is not a blocker. Most agencies layer VentFlow on top while their AMS contract runs. You minimize daily AMS usage without ripping anything out.

How long does it take to get producers working in VentFlow?

Most agencies have producers in pipeline and communications within the first week. AMS integration depth varies, but your team does not wait on a full migration to start seeing value.
