# AMS Quoting Speed Comparison: How Fast Can You Quote Across Different Platforms?

## TL;DR

Quoting speed varies dramatically across AMS platforms. AI-powered systems like unLocked CRM deliver multi-carrier quotes in under 90 seconds, while legacy platforms require 15-45 minutes of manual data entry per quote. Over a year, this difference equals 500+ hours of recovered selling time.

## Key data points

- AI-powered AMS platforms reduce quote turnaround from 45 minutes to under 90 seconds — a 97% improvement.
- Insurance agents spend an average of 23 minutes per quote on legacy AMS platforms due to manual carrier portal navigation.
- Agencies that reduce quoting time by 80% see a 34% increase in policies written because agents can quote more prospects per day.

        <h2>The Quoting Speed Gap Between Modern and Legacy AMS Platforms</h2>
        <p>Quoting is the single most time-consuming activity for insurance agents. On legacy AMS platforms, generating a multi-carrier comparison requires logging into individual carrier portals, re-entering client data for each one, waiting for results, and manually comparing options. This process takes 15-45 minutes per quote.</p>
        <p>Modern AMS platforms with AI-powered quoting engines change the equation entirely. Enter client data once, and the system simultaneously queries multiple carriers, returns ranked results, and generates client-ready proposals — all in under 90 seconds.</p>

        <h3>Quoting Speed by Platform</h3>
        <p>Based on real-world agent workflows:</p>
        <ul>
          <li><strong>unLocked CRM (AI Quoting):</strong> 60-90 seconds for multi-carrier comparison</li>
          <li><strong>EZLynx (P&C Rater):</strong> 3-5 minutes for P&C only</li>
          <li><strong>HawkSoft:</strong> 10-15 minutes (requires carrier portal access)</li>
          <li><strong>Applied Epic:</strong> 8-12 minutes (with rating integration)</li>
          <li><strong>Manual Process:</strong> 25-45 minutes per carrier</li>
        </ul>

        <h3>The Revenue Impact of Quoting Speed</h3>
        <p>If an agent quotes 10 prospects per day and saves 20 minutes per quote, that's 3.3 hours recovered daily — or 860 hours per year. At an average commission of $500 per policy, using that time to quote more prospects can generate $50,000+ in additional annual revenue per agent.</p>

        <h3>How unLocked CRM Achieves 90-Second Quoting</h3>
