A new online tool from Zurich Integrated Products can help agents pre-qualify their clients for the company’s risk categories.

A subsidiary of Zurich North America Commercial, headquartered in Shamburg, Ill., the company said the goal of the new Z Fit online tool is to make it faster and easier for producers to determine if ZIP offers the right insurance solution for their clients’ business needs.

Z Fit is a password-protected tool assessable 24 hours a day, seven days a week, allowing agents to enter a few basic questions about their client’s needs, the insurer said. Within minutes, Z Fit will then indicate wither the submission meets its risk categories.

If the account is eligible, agents can proceed to submit the application online.

Z Fit is available for all ZIP products, including automobile, general liability, property, umbrella, excess, workers’ compensation, directors & officers, errors & omissions, employment practices liability, crime, accident & health and environmental.

“We’re committed to using technology to make it even easier for producers to work with us and to better serve their clients,” said Vincent Tizzio, president of Zurich Integrated Products unit, said in a statement. “Z Fit provides an immediate response to producers’ inquiries to ascertain whether their customers’ business meets ZIP’s product appetite.”
