Project CAP's Consumer Website Targets Multicarrier Quoting

Consumer Portal Selects EZLynx Rating Engine for Real Time Pricing

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Project CAP has selected EZLynx to be the key real-time rating technology partner for Project CAP's enhanced TrustedChoice.com website, which is set to launch nationwide in 2013, announced Charles "Chip" Bacciocco, CEO of Project CAP, site developer of the enhanced TrustedChoice.com.

The EZLynx Rating Engine will be used to power the website's 'get a quote' function and allow consumers shopping online to get accurate, real-time quotes for home and auto insurance from multiple insurance companies.

From the day it launches in mid-2013, the enhanced TrustedChoice.com website will give consumers in all 50 states the ability to research insurance topics, and find information on insurance companies and local independent agents. As the 'get a quote' functionality is introduced on a state-by-state basis throughout 2013, the website will also provide accurate real-time quoting from multiple insurance companies.

"Our past experience with our own lead generation service told us very clearly that consumers prefer to research insurance and get price quotes online," said Nag Rao, president of Webcetera. "But then they prefer to buy from a local agent. Direct writers and captive agent companies simply cannot offer consumers the kind of choices our independent agents bring to bear. We are very excited to be part of this industry-changing initiative."

"The enhanced TrustedChoice.com is meant to complement the strengths of the independent agents and give consumers a way to readily access agents, insurance information and pricing on the web," explained Bacciocco of Project CAP. "Independent agents have always offered a highly attractive combination of local service, advocacy, and choice of carriers that distinguishes independent agents from the limited offerings of direct and captive agent channels."

"EZLynx pioneered the concept of real-time quoting from multiple insurance companies and is the leading agency solution vendor for independent agents. We are really happy that their technology will provide additional capabilities to TrustedChoice.com," Bacciocco said. "The new portal will launch in 2013 and transform the way consumers shop for and buy insurance."
