Lane & Associates Achieves Nearly Triple Premium Growth with ALIS DX
Background
Lane & Associates is an independent surplus lines broker and Managing General Agent (MGA) based in Louisiana. After acquiring the business in 2016, owner Scott Landry recognized the necessity for a modern, cloud-based platform to facilitate growth without the burden of a large in-house IT department.
The Challenge: Replace Legacy Tech with All-In-One Platform
Upon acquisition, Lane & Associates was hindered by outdated and disconnected systems that slowed down processing and limited strategic visibility. Landry pinpointed the need for a comprehensive platform that could:
- Replace legacy, fragmented tools with a modern, fully integrated MGA platform.
- Streamline quoting, policy issuance, accounting, and document management.
- Support significant growth without necessitating additional IT investment.
- Manage carrier connectivity through APIs.
Moreover, the existing technology fell short in delivering robust reporting and key performance indicators (KPIs) essential for informed and rapid decision-making. The company required a solution that could enhance operational efficiency and scale effectively.
The Solution: ALIS DX
Lane & Associates opted for ALIS DX, Dyad’s cloud-based MGA platform, to unify mission-critical workflows within a single system and modernize operations without complicating IT management.
Why ALIS DX Was the Right Fit
ALIS DX provided an integrated foundation capable of supporting immediate scalability while allowing for continuous improvements. It offered Lane & Associates:
- End-to-end MGA capabilities encompassing quoting, policy issuance, accounting, document management, and carrier integration.
- A fully cloud-based architecture, eliminating the need for servers or on-premise IT infrastructure.
- Continuous platform enhancements, including automation and Dyad’s AI-powered Extractor.
- Mobile access for operational visibility and insights from anywhere.
ALIS DX Features That Transformed Operations
- ALIS DX also delivered the operational controls and visibility necessary to manage throughput and performance as the business expanded, including:
Workflow management for analyzing throughput, tracking operations, and identifying bottlenecks. - Comprehensive reporting and KPIs that provide clear financial and operational visibility.
- Integrations such as SkySource outsourcing to enhance efficiency and extend team capacity.
Landry praised the exceptional support from the Dyad team, particularly highlighting the implementation team’s “outstanding service and responsiveness.”
The Results: Nearly 3x Premium Growth & Transformed Operations
“ALIS DX has been catalytic for our business. It accelerated how we work and gave us the visibility to scale profitably—something we simply couldn’t have achieved at the same pace with our previous systems.”
—Scott Landry, Owner, Lane & Associates
