New fixes and enhancements in SinglePoint

Pro-rate/short rate calculator

We’ve added a new Tools menu to the SinglePoint dashboard that allows agents to calculate pro-rate and short rate cancelations in SinglePoint. From the Tools menu, select Prorate/Short Rate, enter dates, premium, and calculate. Coming soon to this menu: VIN Lookup!

Enhanced Auto and Home quote printouts

Agents recommended that we make changes to the quote printouts … so we did.   The Quote printouts in SinglePoint now display a larger, bolder heading, creating a more legible quote.  These little refinements really make a difference. Check them out! 

Better handling of VIN ‘outliers’

SinglePoint’s VIN-to-trim matching algorithm is a huge time saver. A simple RMV lookup on a vehicle can fill in VIN, trim, mileage, and the correct symbols with ease.  

But we have heard from you about vehicles that don’t always neatly fit the mold. We have been working hard to find the best balance of form and functionality.

Our newest refinements will make the following types of vehicles significantly easier to rate:

  • All commercial vehicles that can be private passenger (Nissan NV2500, Ford Transit, etc.)
  • “Incomplete” Ford vehicles (with VINs starting with “1FD”)
  • Pre -1991 Ford F-series vehicles
  • Pre-1985 vehicles with shorter VINs
  • Brand new vehicles
  • Any vehicles omitted from ISO tables

SinglePoint will first validate that you have entered the VIN correctly. It will then automatically match it with any available trims in our system. If it is not successful, you can enter year/make/model/trim and calculate symbols by cost new.
