Technology company Polaris has announced an increase in the level of motor business written using its EDI system.
In its half-yearly figures, the company announced that over 1.25m new business cases were written using EDI. This represents 81% of all new business, it said.
In addition, for seven of these insurers, over 90% of their business was written via this route.
Half of the twenty-two insurers also reported writing household EDI business, with total volumes for the half-year of just under 90,000.
A Polaris statement read: "The marked difference in volumes between motor and household EDI is not altogether surprising.
"EDI has been the established mechanism for intermediary-written motor business for some time now, and has been very successful in terms of reducing expense ratios.
"The use of EDI for household on brokers' systems is at a relatively early stage of development and growth is anticipated over the next few years."
