Overview

The Insurance Quoting and Comparison Research feature in AdviserLogic’s Digital Advice tools helps you generate, compare, and analyse insurance quotes to support compliant, informed recommendations. It integrates Omnium’s insurance data and quoting engine so you can assess multiple policies, compare features and premiums, and tailor cover to your client’s needs. This research output can be used within Digital Advice Scenarios and Statements of Advice (SoA) to strengthen product recommendations with quantitative and qualitative insights.

Additionally, the tool helps avoid common data issues when properly configured, ensuring smoother workflows and accurate outputs.

Data entry

The left panel data must be entered correctly in order to populate the right quotes panel with the correct Insurance quotes.

In the case that the data is incorrect, or that the dataset you are using cannot generate any compatible insurance fund, an error will show next to the provider explaining why this dataset failed, so it can be corrected by editing the client data in the left panel.
