Groupama Insurances will trade only on a full cycle EDI basis for all new private motor business from 1 June, it announced today.
It says this signals "a clear commitment to offer brokers and intermediaries a faster and more effective service".
Non full cycle products are in the process of being phased out from the house software systems, and will not be available after the end of May.
All new private car business will be placed using the new system unless there are specialist arrangements or alternative e-commerce solutions in place, the company said.
Groupama spokesman Llyoyd Hanks said: "Over the past eighteen months we have invested heavily in the development of EDI to ensure a smooth transition for supporting intermediaries and have been working hard with software houses to ensure that our products meet expectations."
He added: "In what is a highly competitive, customer-driven marketplace the industry cannot afford to stand still. It is essential that we respond to market needs and help our intermediaries to reap the benefits of technology."
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
