Dallas, TX -- December 29, 2009 -- Builders & Tradesmen's Insurance Services, Inc, insurance provider for the construction industry, has selected Quantum Integrated Systems' RealTimeExpress^® comparative rater to provide on-line, multiple-carrier commercial insurance quotes for its registered retail producers.

The RealTimeExpress comparative rater is a Software as a Service (SaaS) application that allows commercial insurance agents to enter information one time and receive quotes from a number of leading national and regional carriers.

The simplified process saves time and reduces the chance for errors that often result from repetitive data entry. The commercial comparative rater has underwriting built into the interview, and allows agents to quickly compare premiums and coverages by a variety of carriers.

Jeffrey Hohlbein, who heads business development for Builders & Tradesmen's Insurance Services, said the selection of RealTimeExpress was not particularly difficult. "This product is the market leader in functionality and service. Quantum Integrated Systems' thorough understanding of the commercial insurance industry is evident in every feature," Hohlbein said.

Builders & Tradesmen's will use RealTimeExpress to process on-line quotes for Business Owners Plans, Commercial Auto, and Workers Compensation insurance policies. Retail producers can select the coverage best for their clients and be connected immediately to a Website to place binding coverage in force without having to re-enter any client data.

Quantum Integrated Systems President Mark Van Horn said RealTimeExpress helps agents spend less time on administrative tasks and more time seeing clients. "In today's economy every minute counts," Van Horn said. "This comparative rater was designed by insurance professionals for insurance professionals, to help them work more efficiently and do more business."
