Ohio Casualty Group Implements AMS’s TransactNOW

Fairfield, Ohio-based Ohio Casualty Group (OCG) has announced that real-time billing and claim inquiries are now available to its independent agencies through TransactNOW from AMS Services Inc.

TransactNOW was introduced in March 2003 and is the newest interface offering from AMS Services, Inc. TransactNOW enables AMS management system users to process business transactions with insurance carriers via a real-time, single-entry workflow, without having to leave their agency management systems. Transactions available to OCG independent agencies today are personal and commercial lines billing and claims/loss run inquiries. Since the launch of TransactNOW, more than 1900 agencies have begun using the product.

TransactNOW uses ACORD standards and XML technology to integrate carrier website functionality into agency management system workflow. This means transactions and carriers can be rapidly added, and agents can rapidly deploy. Developed in close cooperation with The AMS Users’ Group, TransactNOW is available to agencies using all AMS management system products.
