Frankenmuth Insurance utilizes its Executive/Agency Round Table and Personal Lines Advisory Council meetings to learn how we can be your insurer of choice. Based on your feedback and to improve our ease of doing business, we will be introducing Marshall Swift Boeckh (MSB) – Core Logic as our new Personal Lines Property Replacement Cost Estimating System.

Starting Sept. 8, you will be able to access MSB – Core Logic when you select “Replacement Cost Estimator” on the Limits Screen within iBIS. Then, from the estimator screen, you’ll see some entry fields have been prefilled for you with data that the system has automatically loaded, such as construction year and square footage, to help streamline the entry process for your agency. During this transition, we’ll continue to accept other replacement cost estimators, which are attached in the iBIS system, and continue to work with you to find the proper replacement cost value of insured property.

We’re also pleased to offer training for you and your staff on our new estimating system. To register, please log into Agency Services and select one of the webinar sessions listed on the iBIS home page. Should you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact Agency Support at Extension 3000.

In addition, Frankenmuth Insurance is interested in working with you to write more of your quality Dwelling Fire risks. To attract a broader segment of this market, we will now allow monoline occupied (Owner, Tenant) Dwelling Fire policies to be written with us. We believe this will help you in placing more new business with Frankenmuth Insurance.

As a company, we remain committed to making adjustments that will help us both achieve continued profitability and create opportunities for mutual growth. Should you have any questions on these changes, please feel free to contact your Personal Lines field manager or underwriter. 

Thank you for thinking of Frankenmuth Insurance for all your new business.
