Applied Indio review for insurance agencies: submissions, markets and pricing
Applied Indio sends commercial applications to clients online, collects their answers and signatures and emails the packet to the markets you pick. It syncs both ways with Applied Epic.
It fits commercial agencies on Applied products. Pricing is quoted.

- Tool type

- Price

- Common forms, carrier supplementals and your own applications
- Agency system
- Applied Epic, both ways
Our take
Indio is a client application tool, not a market platform. It suits an Epic agency tired of chasing clients for applications and retyping them at renewal.
You still choose the markets and bind with each carrier. Without Applied Epic you lose much of the value.
Pros
- Clients fill and sign applications online
- Renewal packets prefill from last year
- Two-way Applied Epic sync
- Email up to 30 markets at once
- Spreadsheet schedules become online tables
Cons
- No published pricing
- No appetite search
- No quoting or binding
- Best only with Applied products

Corrections
Vendors change their pricing all the time and they don't email us when they do. So if you see a price on here that's gone up, a plan Applied Indio quit selling or a contract term that reads different now, let us know and send the link to the page where Applied Indio has it. Somebody here pulls up that page and checks it before we change anything on ours.
