## FAQ

### What is policy management in insurance?

Policy management is the day-to-day operation of tracking every in-force policy in an agent's book — across carriers and product lines — from issuance through renewal, replacement, or lapse. A modern policy management system also handles SOAs, disclosures, commission reconciliation, renewal automation, and audit trails in one place.

### What is the best way to track insurance policies across multiple carriers?

Use an insurance-native CRM with direct carrier integrations rather than a spreadsheet or a generic CRM. unLocked CRM consolidates 1,252+ carriers (113 life/annuity, 1,139 health) and 332 commission feeds into a single household view, automatically updated when carriers report status changes.

### Can a CRM replace my agency management system (AMS)?

For most independent agents and IMOs the answer is yes — the CRM acts as both the producer-facing Control Center and the system of record. Agencies with an existing AMS investment typically keep the AMS as the system of record and let unLocked CRM handle quoting, commissions, renewals, compliance, and producer workflows.

### How often is policy data updated from carriers?

Carrier feeds refresh on the schedule the carrier publishes — most major carriers push daily or near-real-time on issuance, status, and commission events. Manual reconciliation is reserved for the small tail of carriers without a direct feed.

### Is policy data secure inside the CRM?

Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, HIPAA-aware for health and Medicare lines, role-permissioned by producer and downline, and exportable at any time. A Data Processing Agreement and published sub-processor list are available before signing.

### Can I run policy management on my phone?

Yes. The full policy view, renewal dashboard, SOA capture, e-signature, and call/SMS workflows run on mobile so road-based agents can manage their book without returning to a desk.
