Commercial Property SOV Automation

From messy SOV to
underwriting-ready schedule.

SimplAI cleans, validates and standardizes every location — then flags only what needs an underwriter's judgment.

SimplAI SOV Agent: from broker schedule to underwriting-ready data.

The Operational Problem

SOV intake is where property submissions
lose days and accuracy

Submissions wait on transcription

Every schedule arrives in a different shape. Assistants retype addresses, values and COPE fields before an underwriter can even look at the risk.

Bad data reaches rating and cat models

Duplicated locations, unusable geocodes and total mismatches slip through, so exposure is priced on numbers nobody validated.

Capacity is spent on the wrong work

Skilled underwriting time goes into spreadsheet clean-up instead of quoting, and quote turnaround decides which broker wins the business.

Built around where you sit

Standardize SOV intake across every team

One validated intake pipeline — tuned to what each role needs from it. Pick a seat to see where it pays off.

Portfolio-grade SOV data, every submission

Standardise schedules across brokers and programs so portfolio aggregation, cat modelling and rating all read the same values.

The Path a Schedule Takes

From a broker's spreadsheet to a schedule
your rating engine accepts

Five stages, one of which is deliberately human. The agent does the transcription and the arithmetic; underwriters keep the judgement calls that move exposure.

Automation stops where underwriting judgement starts

The failure mode teams fear is not slow processing — it is a confident, wrong number reaching a rating engine. The SOV agent is built to surface doubt rather than resolve it quietly. Review thresholds are yours to set: which fields always require sign-off, which confidence level triggers escalation, and which exceptions block release of the schedule.

Escalate, don't estimate

A missing year built on a coastal risk is an exception, not an average. Values the agent cannot evidence are reported as unknown with the reason.

Every field traces to a source

Each output value links to the originating cell, page region or broker note, so a reviewer can confirm in one click rather than re-opening the workbook.

Exceptions are written for underwriters

Severity, the exposure at stake, and a proposed resolution — in schedule language, not model diagnostics.

Reviewer decisions are recorded

Accepted, amended or rejected, with who decided and when, so the file stands up to peer review, audit and capacity-provider questions.

Outcomes by Role

What changes for each person who touches the schedule

Property Underwriter

Reads a schedule, not a spreadsheet

Opens the file with values reconciled, duplicates resolved and the open questions already listed in severity order.

Underwriting Assistant / Ops

Stops rekeying and starts routing

Transcription disappears from the queue; the remaining work is chasing brokers on named, specific gaps.

Head of Portfolio / Cat

Consistent geocoding and COPE across submissions

Schedules arrive coded the same way regardless of broker, so aggregation and modelling inputs stop drifting.

Insurance Technology Lead

A defined ingestion contract

Typed schema, confidence scores, exception payloads and audit records your core systems can consume without bespoke parsing.

30-Day Proof of Value

Prove it on your SOVs in 30 days.

No long transformation programme. No core replacement. A bounded proof with agreed measures — run on your submissions, your template and your codes.

  1. Agreed sample of sanitized schedules

    20–50 recent submissions that reflect your real broker mix, shared under your own data agreement.

  2. Target fields and output template

    Your schedule template, construction and occupancy code lists, and the fields that must never be auto-accepted.

  3. Acceptance criteria and baseline measurement

    Completeness, turnaround and exception catch rate defined and baselined before the agent runs.

  4. Results review and rollout decision

    Measured results against the agreed criteria, the integration path, and a written go / no-go.

FAQ

Questions underwriting teams ask first

Multi-tab XLSX workbooks, scanned or native PDF schedules, portal CSV exports and broker cover notes — as received, without asking brokers to switch to a template.

Schedules from a handful of locations to portfolio-scale files with thousands of rows spread across multiple tabs.

The value is reported as unknown with the reason and raised as a written exception with a proposed resolution — never a silent guess or an averaged number.

Against the fields the agent is configured to extract, baselined on your own schedules during the 30-day proof of value using agreed acceptance criteria.

No. The agent removes transcription and arithmetic; underwriters keep the judgment calls that move exposure, with review thresholds you set.

Output is delivered in your carrier or program schedule template plus a typed API or file-drop payload, routable into policy administration, rating, cat modelling and data lake targets.

A bounded 30-day proof of value on 20–50 of your own sanitized schedules, with agreed target fields, output template and acceptance criteria — no core replacement.
