In an effort to reduce the time it takes for customers to find insurance documents, Denver startup GloveBox has launched an app that houses them all in one place.
The company launched its app July 6 on the Apple App store to simplify insurance policy access by aggregating documents, regardless of carrier, in one centralized location.
The GloveBox App will initially allow policy holders to access automobile ID cards and copies of policies, followed by features to pay a bill, initiate a claim, endorse policies and more.
The company's initial focus will be on property and casualty policies including home, auto, umbrella, RV, motorcycle, etc. According to a release, GloveBox intends to seek connections to life and health insurance, as well as car registration and driver's license in the future.
"Our goal is to not only create a unified policy holder experience inclusive of all carriers for the consumer, but also to take care of our agency owners and carriers," said Ryan Mathisen, co-founder and CEO, in a release. "By offering a simplified process and a positive client experience, GloveBox can help increase both revenue and client retention all while eliminating the requirement for additional staffing to help with those Tier 1 service tasks."
The company works with carriers like Geico, Progressive and Nationwide to provide the free document access service. GloveBox also works offline, so that customers without Internet can still access their documents.
The company's founding team has more than 25 years experience in the insurance industry that they've leaned on to develop GloveBox.
"Our team has a vast understanding of what policy holders want from their insurance carriers and what carriers and agencies need to be successful," said Drew Lewellyn, co-founder and CTO, in a statement. "We think GloveBox will be a game changing technology for the insurance industry and are inspired by what's to come."
