Hodge has launched a new website and portal enabling brokers to place and manage cases online.

The portal and website will allow brokers to easily access key documentation, which can be shared with customers.

Other services include obtaining a decision in principle, direct access to underwriters, completing applications and submitting and tracking applications.

Hodge chief technology officer Mark Evans says: “This is a significant step forward for Hodge, with the portal being central in allowing intermediaries to access our products and services in an easy and convenient fashion.

“The intermediary portal is a really key building block for us, as we strive to make it easier for intermediaries to access our growing range of innovative products. Building the platform ourselves has freed us of many constraints that limit our ability to offer an excellent customer experience. It has also opened up further opportunities for innovation. As our inhouse digital delivery capability has grown, so too has our determination to make our processes better and simpler for brokers.”
