Nine reasons MGAs are turning to electronic insurance filing
Explore ways electronic filing can help reduce manual work and manage growing filing demands
Published: October 14, 2026
As managing general agents (MGAs) grow, so does the volume and complexity of managing insurance filings. More carriers, more states, and more submissions can mean more time spent entering information, tracking filing status, and keeping records organized.
Tyler Insurance Filings can help MGAs manage that growth by reducing manual work and providing tools to manage filing activity more efficiently.
1. Submit filings to multiple states at once
Submit a filing to more than one state at the same time instead of completing separate submissions for each state. This can reduce repetitive data entry and make multi-state submissions easier to manage.
2. Track filing activity across states
Use reports to review filing activity and see the states where submissions were completed. Having this information readily available can make it easier to maintain visibility into filing activity without relying on separate spreadsheets or manually compiled records.
3. Consolidate filings for all your carriers in one place
Oversee and submit filings for multiple carriers and risk retention groups in one unified account. Manage company data and reporting in one place, while user permissions provide control over who can file on behalf of each company.
4. Monitor filing status
Keep track of filings that have been accepted, rejected, or pended. Online access to filing status can make it easier to identify submissions that require additional attention.
5. Keep the right people informed
Specify which users should receive email notifications when filings are accepted, rejected, or pended. This helps ensure that the appropriate team members receive filing updates without requiring everyone to monitor every submission.
6. Reduce manual processes
Centralize filing activities online instead of managing submissions through separate manual processes. Reducing repetitive tasks can free up time for other work as filing volume increases.
7. Manage growing filing volumes
As an MGA takes on additional carriers or expands into more states, filing volume can increase quickly. An online filing system provides tools to help organize and manage that activity as business needs change.
8. Simplify cancellations and reinstatements
When an accepted filing needs to be cancelled or reinstated, these actions can be completed with a single click. This helps reduce the steps required to manage common filing changes.
9. Connect directly to an API for high-volume filing
MGAs with high filing volumes can connect their systems directly to an API to submit filings without interacting with the online portal. This can help integrate filing submissions into existing workflows and reduce the need for manual entry.
Whether filing volume is manageable through the online portal or requires API integration, electronic insurance filing can give MGAs tools to help manage submissions as their business grows.
