Placing Platform Limited (PPL) has unveiled its new underwriter dashboard, designed to enhance the efficiency of managing high volumes of business activity on its platform.
The upgraded dashboard functions as a worklist, offering an improved user interface aimed at helping underwriters quickly locate work items and address outstanding tasks, according to a news release. The changes are expected to improve navigation and task prioritisation across the platform.
The new dashboard provides categorisation, allowing users to better understand the nature and volume of tasks. An upgraded interface enhances search capabilities, making it easier to locate specific work items. Users can also personalise their experience by saving filtered views of their dashboard. Additionally, the new functionality offers improved oversight by providing insights into management information and tasks at both individual and team levels.
The news release noted that this functionality builds on the company’s broader interface redesign efforts, which began with the launch of Express Contract features in September. The underwriter dashboard was developed in collaboration with carriers and shaped by research conducted with end users across multiple firms.
Andy Woolley, PPL’s director of product and practice, highlighted the significance of this launch. “The launch of our new underwriter dashboard marks a further step in our efforts to deliver an intuitive user experience. This latest development brings new navigation tools and clearer screen layouts, making it quicker and easier for underwriters to manage their work across the placing process,” he said.
The development of the dashboard was prioritised by PPL’s Market Governance Committees.
PPL’s recently launched Express Contracts is a feature designed to streamline risk-binding for brokers by simplifying workflows and reducing contract placement times. The interface aims to minimise training needs while allowing brokers to efficiently manage tasks such as adding markets, assigning roles, and sending submission packs. The feature also enables users to track progress, identify required steps, and save work for later.
