What is eDocs/Agency Download Service?

The Agency Download Service is an automated process that allows SECURA policy information to download directly into an agency’s management system (AMS).
  • The system translates the data into a shareable format across multiple agency systems.
  • The policy data is synchronized between SECURA and the agency via updating the data on the agency’s system.
  • Download Service streamlines the process using ACORD standards to drive agency efficiency and reduce E&O exposure. save time by eliminating the need to re-key data, as well as provide a faster workflow for your employees.
eDocs: We send policy documents as attachments through the download direct to the agent management system. This offers a secure and managed alternative to email, mail, and faxes. It is an auditable, secure, system-based method of handling essential communications between carriers and their agents.
