Proof from the field: The real cost of premium leakage in MGAs.

Proof from the Field: The Real Cost of Premium Leakage in MGAs

January 8, 2026

“In our previous blog, The Silent Revenue Drain, we explored the operational root causes behind premium leakage—manual rating, fragmented data, and visibility gaps. Here, we validate those challenges with hard data and real MGA experiences.” Premium leakage and manual inefficiencies aren’t theoretical problems. Real-world studies and case examples from across the insurance ecosystem show how outdated workflows directly erode margins, delay operations, and limit growth. In this blog, we examine industry data, surveys, and transformation stories that validate the urgent need for automation among MGAs and brokers. Case Study: Transportation MGA Struggles with Manual Operations A mid-sized transportation MGA managing thousands of active vehicle policies faced serious leakage. Their underwriting relied on spreadsheets and email chains to process high-frequency changes, driver swaps, vehicle updates, and route modifications. These manual methods created bottlenecks, errors, and revenue loss: Lost Premium: Missed midterm changes meant policies weren’t updated or billed correctly, leading to uncollected revenue. Slow Quotes: Quote turnaround was delayed due to fragmented data sources. No Visibility: The underwriting team lacked a real-time view of the book, forcing reactive decisions. The Fix: By shifting to a digital workflow platform with an integrated rating engine, this MGA: Automated intake of changes and endorsements Accelerated quoting and billing Recovered previously leaked premium through timely midterm adjustments Want to See Where Premium May Be Leaking in Your Operation? If your team is still managing endorsements, pricing updates, or audits through spreadsheets and email threads, there’s a strong chance revenue is slipping through the cracks. Contact us to discuss. Survey Insights: Excel Fatigue and Admin Burnout The 2025 State of Pricing Survey by Hyperexponential revealed: 85% of actuaries still use spreadsheets as a primary pricing tool 45% of underwriters cite outdated or inaccurate pricing models as a major frustration Top data challenge: “Hours spent rekeying data” ranked among the top three concerns The impact isn’t just operational; it’s human. Underwriters report losing up to 3 hours per day to clerical work, with 70% of professionals saying better tools would fundamentally improve their roles. Audit Findings: Massive Revenue Left Uncollected One global audit and transformation firm reviewed multiple MGA books and found that up to 18% of premium was left uncollected due to inaccurate reporting and missed rating triggers. In another example, an insurer achieved a 2.8% improvement in loss ratios after moving from manual pricing processes to governed, automated pricing. These findings show how premium leakage compounds quietly over time and why automating reconciliation, pricing logic, and change tracking is critical to long-term profitability. Time-to-Market Bottlenecks: Weeks Lost to Manual Launches MGAs relying on Word documents and email-driven product setup often experience weeks, or even months, of delay when launching new programs. In fast-moving markets, that lag can cost entire opportunities. One insurer reduced quote-to-bind time from several weeks to under 72 hours after adopting an automated pricing engine. Another carrier updated catastrophe pricing within 48 hours, something previously impossible in a manual environment. The Industry Verdict Spreadsheets introduce errors: Nearly 90% of spreadsheets contain mistakes Manual work delays everything: From quotes to audits, every manual step adds friction Automation drives margin gains: Carriers using modern platforms report 4–6% better combined ratios The message is clear: MGAs that cling to outdated workflows are leaving money on the table, increasing compliance risk, and falling behind more agile competitors. If these challenges sound familiar, the good news is they’re solvable. Automation doesn’t require ripping out your entire tech stack; it requires the right foundation. Schedule a call with us. Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is premium leakage, and why is it so common among MGAs? Premium leakage occurs when policy changes, endorsements, or rating triggers aren’t captured or billed correctly. It’s common in MGA environments due to high transaction volume, manual processes, and limited visibility into midterm changes. 2. Are spreadsheets really that risky for pricing and underwriting? Yes. Studies show nearly 90% of spreadsheets contain errors. Beyond mistakes, spreadsheets lack governance, auditability, version control, and real-time collaboration, making them unsuitable for scalable underwriting operations. 3. Can automation work alongside our existing policy admin system? Absolutely. Modern workflow and pricing platforms are designed to integrate with existing PAS, accounting, and data sources, reducing disruption while improving accuracy and speed. 4. How quickly can automation show ROI? Many MGAs see value within months through recovered premium, faster quote turnaround, reduced rework, and improved loss ratios, often without increasing headcount. 5. Is automation only for large carriers? No. In fact, mid-sized and growing MGAs often benefit the most, as automation allows them to scale efficiently without adding operational complexity. “The verdict is clear: premium leakage is measurable, preventable, and accelerating. The next question is no longer if MGAs should modernize—but how. In Blog 3, we map these industry-wide challenges directly to a modern solution: INT Origin.”

Premium Leakage in Insurance MGAs: Market Challenges and What’s Causing Them

January 6, 2026

In today’s fast-evolving insurance landscape, MGAs (Managing General Agents) are at a crossroads. On one side, there’s rising pressure to deliver faster, more accurate services to customers and partners. On the other hand, legacy tools and manual processes are holding them back. The result? Premium leakage, a silent but serious drain on revenue that often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. As MGAs scale and handle more complex products, the old ways of working—spreadsheets, Word docs, and disconnected systems—are becoming liabilities. This blog explores the root causes of premium leakage and why addressing them is no longer optional. 1. The Hidden Cost of Spreadsheets and Legacy Tools Despite the explosion of insurtech solutions, a staggering number of MGAs still run mission-critical functions, like quoting and policy administration, on Excel and Word. These tools, while familiar, aren’t built for scale or accuracy. Teams work off different versions of the same rating model. Formulas break. Data gets overwritten. Validations are missing. And the lack of an audit trail turns every mistake into a compliance risk. What starts as a simple spreadsheet soon becomes a bottleneck that slows down operations, introduces pricing inconsistencies, and erodes trust, both internally and with partners. 2. Complex Data, Static Systems, and Missed Opportunities In fast-moving lines of business like commercial auto or property, change is constant. Drivers rotate, vehicles are replaced, and routes evolve, sometimes daily. But when systems are rigid and disconnected, they can’t keep up with these shifts in real time. The impact? Endorsements are missed. Rating triggers don’t fire. Premiums go unadjusted. Underwriters and ops teams are left scrambling, relying on memory or fragmented notes. This isn’t just inefficient; it’s a direct path to underpriced policies and lost revenue. 3. Visibility Gaps and Fragmented Communication In many MGAs, collaboration between brokers, underwriters, and partners still happens over long email threads, versioned documents, and outdated portals. The lack of a centralized view means simple tasks, like tracking quote status or retrieving updated reports, turn into time-consuming hunts. Agents don’t know where their policies stand. Managers struggle to get a real-time view of performance. And operations teams spend hours piecing together information from different systems. This fragmentation doesn’t just delay decisions; it kills momentum. 4. Admin Overload: When Your Talent Is Trapped in Low-Value Work It’s common for underwriters to spend two to three hours a day on tasks like manual data entry, document handling, or chasing approvals. These are hours not spent on risk assessment, customer conversations, or strategic work that drives revenue. Launching new products, onboarding partners, or tweaking pricing models can take weeks, not because of complexity, but because teams are stuck doing things the long way. The cost? Slower growth. Lower morale. Higher risk of error. 5. Mounting Compliance and Audit Risk Insurance is a precision business, but many MGAs are operating without the systems to back that up. Outdated Word templates lead to contract inconsistencies. Bordereaux reports are stitched together manually. And there’s often no reliable audit trail to track who changed what, when, or why. This creates exposure to regulatory penalties, partner disputes, and internal misalignment. In a regulated environment, small mistakes can quickly snowball into large setbacks. So, why does this matter now? Because the market is changing fast. MGAs are no longer small, experimental entities. They’re handling large books of business across geographies and with increasingly complex product portfolios. That growth brings opportunity but also magnifies every inefficiency. Premium leakage isn’t a single leak. It’s dozens of small drips, across hundreds of policies, every day. And unless addressed, those drips can quietly drain your profitability. What the Modern MGA Looks Like Imagine a future where: Quoting, underwriting, and policy servicing are all connected in one streamlined workflow. Rating triggers are applied in real time, not weeks later. Every user, broker, underwriter, and manager sees the same live dashboard. Audit trails are built in, not retrofitted. Underwriters get to spend their day underwriting, not copying and pasting. This isn’t a pipe dream. It’s already possible and within reach for MGAs that are ready to invest in smarter systems and processes. Don’t Wait for Leakage to Show on the Books Most premium leakage doesn’t show up on your P&L until much later. It hides in mispriced policies, missed endorsements, and inefficiencies that slowly drag performance down. But once you fix it, the results are immediate. Faster quote times. Fewer errors. More compliant processes. And above all, recovered revenue, without having to acquire a single new customer. Time to Modernize? Let’s Talk If you’re still relying on tools built for 2005 to compete in 2026, now is the time to rethink your operating model. Frequently Asked Questions What is premium leakage? It’s the revenue loss caused by missed endorsements, pricing errors, or inefficiencies that prevent MGAs from collecting the full premium. How do spreadsheets contribute to it? They’re prone to error, lack version control, and don’t scale. This leads to inconsistent pricing and missed revenue. What’s the biggest opportunity to reduce leakage? Automating workflows, integrating rating triggers, and improving visibility across teams. How long does transformation take? With the right partner, foundational changes can be made in weeks, not years.

The 1-5% revenue leak hidden in insurance commissions.

The 1–5% Revenue Leak Hidden in Insurance Commissions

December 16, 2025

The 1–5% Revenue Leak Insurers Don’t See, Until Automated Commission Reconciliation Exposes It Commissions are the lifeblood of insurance distribution. Brokers, MGAs, and insurers depend on them to keep operations moving, motivate partners, and maintain healthy financial cycles. But behind the scenes, one of the most crucial financial processes in the industry, commission reconciliation, continues to rely on spreadsheets, manual checks, and outdated workflows. The result?Backlogs, errors, incorrect payouts, compliance exposure, and frustrated partners. The Real Problem: A System Built on Spreadsheets Despite years of digital transformation, the insurance ecosystem continues to depend heavily on Excel for reconciliation. What the data reveals 88% of spreadsheets contain errors; even “well-built” ones suffer from formula inconsistencies 94% of finance teams still use Excel for month-end close Many agencies spend 10–15 hours per week processing commissions before month-end Cash reconciliation alone consumes 20–50 hours per month When the industry relies on spreadsheets to process tens of thousands of transactions, error is not a possibility; it is a guarantee. But understanding the scale of spreadsheet dependency is only the beginning. To see why reconciliation fails so often, we must examine how these manual workflows behave under real-world operational pressure. Why Manual Reconciliation Breaks Down Instead of listing every pain point, here’s the operational reality visualized: This fragile chain produces real-world consequences: Backlogs grow: A Medicare agency could reconcile 1,000 records/day, but carriers sent 1,000–20,000 per week Errors multiply: Overpayments range from 10–20%, and industry-wide leakage reaches 1–5% of annual revenue Partners lose trust: Delayed payouts and disputes erode broker relationships Compliance risk rises: Without audit trails, even minor discrepancies create exposure Manual processes are not merely inefficient; they are fundamentally incompatible with the speed, scale, and accuracy required in modern insurance. These weaknesses aren’t theoretical; they appear in measurable operational breakdowns across the industry. And real-world case studies show just how costly manual reconciliation has become. Case Study Signals: Automation Changes Everything Across the industry, organizations adopting automated reconciliation report dramatic improvements. Mito cut reconciliation time from 19 days to 2, cleared backlogs, and saved tens of thousands in erroneous payouts, while Ledge benchmarks show 94% of finance teams still rely on Excel, with cash reconciliation taking 20–50 hours monthly and slowing closes for 50% of teams; meanwhile, Synatic and SANDIS reduced commission processing time by 80–90%, achieved near-100% accuracy, and shortened multi-week runs to just hours. If automation yields such returns, why are so many insurers still stuck with spreadsheets? Because most tools only fix one part of the problem. The real issue lives upstream, and that upstream fragmentation is the true barrier to accuracy. To truly fix reconciliation, we must examine the lifecycle that feeds errors into the system long before commissions are calculated. Still reconciling commissions in spreadsheets?If your finance team is spending hours matching carrier statements, chasing discrepancies, or explaining payout errors, the issue isn’t effort; it’s the system. 👉 See how automated, lifecycle-based reconciliation eliminates errors before they reach finance. The Root Cause: A Fragmented Insurance Lifecycle Reconciliation errors rarely originate in the reconciliation stage. They originate upstream: Policy updates not synced MTAs implemented late Cancelled policies still present in spreadsheets Claims activity not linked to commission logic Premium receipts out of sync with payout cycles No unified ledger connecting policy → payment → commission Fragmentation is precisely why incremental tools, macros, and Excel add-ons fail to deliver lasting improvement.The industry does not need a faster spreadsheet; it needs a unified operating foundation. INT. Origin—A Unified Insurance Operating System Most “automation tools” simply patch the final step. INT. Origin transforms the entire chain, a modern, end-to-end insurance operating system, and eliminates it from the ground up. It is not a reconciliation tool. It is a full-stack insurance operations platform that embeds automated commissions into the policy lifecycle itself, ensuring accuracy before reconciliation even begins. This is why INT. Origin achieves outcomes that simple automation scripts cannot. When all capabilities come together, the impact becomes undeniable. What INT. Origin Solves 1. Commission errors disappear because spreadsheets disappear INT. Origin replaces spreadsheets with a rule-driven commission engine embedded directly into the policy lifecycle. It supports: Multi-tier and slab-based commissions Overrides, bonuses, and special agreements Broker, sub-broker, and introducer hierarchies Product-specific, region-specific, and tax-aware rates All commissions are calculated from live policy, premium, and endorsement data, not copied files, eliminating formula drift, version conflicts, and manual recalculations. 2. Reconciliation happens continuously, not at month-end Instead of waiting weeks to reconcile carrier statements, Origin reconciles as data arrives. Premiums are auto-matched Discrepancies are flagged instantly Ledgers update in real time Payout instructions are generated automatically What used to take days or weeks now takes minutes, without backlog buildup. 3. Revenue leakage is stopped at the source Most leakage happens because commissions are calculated without a unified financial view. Origin maintains a single, immutable policy-to-commission ledger: Every premium, refund, and adjustment is logged Commission events trigger only on valid policy states Cancelled or reversed policies cannot generate payouts This integrated ledger is what prevents the silent 1–5% loss that spreadsheet reconciliation never catches. Extended Capabilities 4. Visibility reduces disputes (not more emails) Instead of chasing finance teams, stakeholders see commission data directly through role-based portals. Brokers, introducers, MGAs, auditors, and ops teams each get exactly what they need. The result: 30–50% fewer disputes and faster partner settlements. 5. Compliance is automatic, not reactive Audit trails, historical adjustments, permissions, bordereaux, and regulator-ready reports are generated by default because every commission action is already system-recorded. Mapping the Industry’s Pain Points to Origin’s Capabilities Industry Pain Point Evidence Origin Capability Manual spreadsheet errors 88% error rate; 94% reliance on Excel Automated rule-driven commission engine Slow reconciliation 10–15 hrs/week; 19 days for 19k records Real-time reconciliation Complex structures Multi-tier, overrides, bonuses Configurable commission builder Revenue leakage 1–5% loss; 10–20% overpayment Integrated policy ledger Lack of transparency Partner disputes Role-based portals Compliance risk No audit trails Full audit log & reporting Disconnected systems CRM, policy, claims isolated Unified platform Why INT. Origin Is Different Many platforms claim automation.
