Insights
The introduction of OneView by iPipeline signifies a noteworthy advancement in the annuity application process, addressing a longstanding inefficiency in the financial services sector. This tool, which allows for real-time tracking of annuity orders, could potentially enhance the operational efficiency of broker-dealers, financial institutions and wealth management firms. By streamlining the application process and minimizing the need for communication with insurance carriers, OneView could lead to a reduction in cycle times for closing business.
From a financial technology perspective, the integration of standardized status labels and a consolidated dashboard could become a best practice, setting a new standard for the industry. The reduction of applications not in good order (NiGO) is particularly significant, as it directly correlates with cost savings and improved customer satisfaction. By enabling advisors to service clients more effectively, OneView may contribute to higher advisor productivity and potentially increased sales of annuity products.
Annuities are traditionally complex products that require meticulous management. The advent of OneView could represent a pivotal moment for risk management within the insurance sector. By providing a unified platform for tracking annuity applications, iPipeline is addressing a critical pain point for advisors and clients alike.
It's important to consider the potential long-term implications. If OneView delivers on its promise of operational transparency and efficiency, we could see a shift in how annuity products are perceived by both advisors and clients. This shift could lead to increased confidence in these investment products, potentially boosting their popularity. Moreover, the tool's ability to facilitate timely adjustments during the application process might reduce the incidence of errors and disputes, which can be costly and time-consuming for all parties involved.
When assessing the market impact of a solution like OneView, it is essential to evaluate the competitive landscape. iPipeline's claim that there is no other market solution that offers what OneView does suggests a unique value proposition. If this is indeed the case, iPipeline could capture a significant market share in the annuity application tracking space.
However, the adoption rate of OneView among advisors and firms will be a critical factor in determining its success. The ease of integration into existing systems, the learning curve for users and the perceived benefits versus the status quo will influence this adoption. It's also worth monitoring how competitors respond to this innovation, as it may prompt the development of similar or even more advanced tools, thereby influencing market dynamics.
With OneViewTM, iPipeline Launches the First Status Tracker in the Industry for the Annuity Application Process
Annuities have developed a reputation in the industry as a complex investment product. The process of tracking an annuity only compounds that complexity, especially when working with multiple insurance carriers. Once orders are submitted to a carrier, broker-dealers, financial institutions, and wealth management firms have traditionally been unable to successfully and confidently monitor their annuity orders.
iPipeline designed OneView to simplify the application process across multiple insurance carriers. With its innovative and streamlined dashboard, OneView can easily and efficiently track pending orders with carriers–from start to finish–and make any necessary changes while drastically minimizing calls and emails with carrier support staff.
With OneView, advisors can:
- Quickly and easily discover the status of their client’s annuities orders, providing transparency regarding where they are in the process with the carrier–in real-time.
- Seamlessly make any necessary adjustments during every step of the process – from monitoring and notifying to updating and fixing annuity orders–with OneView tools.
- Experience a simplified workflow that uses industry standardized status labels for improved communication and reduced uncertainty.
- Close business more efficiently and faster by significantly reducing cycle times, decreasing the need to contact a carrier regarding application statuses, and nearly eliminating applications that are not in good order (NiGO).
- Spend more time servicing clients and growing their business by successfully spending much less time following up with insurance carriers regarding orders.
“OneView is not just an innovation; it's a revolution in managing annuities, built with our customers' needs at the forefront. We believe that OneView will easily transform the way annuities are managed. Simply put, there is just no other solution in the market today that does what we designed OneView to do,” said Roy Goodart, Vice President of Product Management at iPipeline.
In designing OneView, iPipeline looked at successful tracking systems in other industries.
“Think about the food delivery service industry and how it has evolved over the past few years. Customers want clarity and precision. That’s helped to redefine the overall customer experience by mastering the art of keeping the customer informed, every step of the way. With OneView, we've taken that concept and elevated and applied it to the annuity industry,” added Adam Ducorsky, Senior Director, Product Manager at iPipeline, and the team lead for OneView. “OneView doesn't just facilitate real-time tracking; it revolutionizes how financial advisors manage and oversee their clients' annuity applications.”
