Quandri and FirstChoice Partner to Scale Independent Agencies via AI-Driven Insurance Automation
By Lauren Towner · 7 July 2026

Quick Summary
Quandri has partnered with FirstChoice, a MarshBerry company, to provide insurance automation tools to over 750 independent agencies. This collaboration enables brokers to automate high-volume renewal workflows, increasing proactive client outreach by 6.5x and allowing teams to manage up to 10x more policies without increasing headcount.
How Does Insurance Automation Solve the Talent Shortage?
Insurance automation serves as a critical bridge for agencies facing a shrinking talent pool and rising administrative burdens. By deploying Quandri’s insurance-native AI, firms can automate repetitive tasks like policy analysis and renewal remarketing, which traditionally consume hours of manual labor. This shift allows account managers to work at scale, focusing on high-value client interactions rather than data entry.
- 6.5x increase in proactive client outreach reported by early adopters.
- Capacity to manage 10x more policies without adding new staff.
- Automated renewal workflow analysis surfaces immediate remarketing options.
What Results Has Quandri Delivered for FirstChoice Members?
The integration of insurance automation into the FirstChoice network, which represents $2.67 billion in P&C revenue, provides a standardized operating model for 750 agencies. For members like Ausband Chapman Insurance, the technology acts as a digital personal assistant for every account manager, ensuring consistency in service delivery. The platform surfaces actionable insights from renewing policies, enabling personalized communication that was previously impossible at high volumes.
FF NEWS TAKE:
This partnership significantly moves the needle by bringing insurance automation to a massive, consolidated network of independent agents. By leveraging the MarshBerry ecosystem, Quandri is tackling the industry's biggest bottleneck: the scalability of the traditional service model. As talent becomes scarcer, the ability to automate the renewal cycle isn't just a luxury - it's a survival requirement for agencies looking to maintain margins in a competitive P&C market.
