BriteCore’s email provider is changing to to Mailgun. We currently send emails using several leading providers. We will consolidate all BriteSuite services to use Mailgun, a market leader, to make use of better economies of scale, to simplify support, and position BriteCore to provide future email enhancements.

Clients using Stripe as a payment vendor will be able to automatically decline payments that are marked Non-Sufficient Funds (NSFs). Automating NSFs reduces the time spent manually processing NSFs and mitigates human error within the process.

BriteCore’s Design team is redesigning the Schedule Sweep screen for agents. While the Schedule Sweep screen’s appearance will change, its functionality will remain the same.

A new text message feature is being released in BriteApps.

Currently, you can delete exported return premiums from the Accounts Receivable screen in BriteCore. However, the ability to delete return premiums is going away.

With the Delay cancellation per policy feature, users can delay the policy cancellation date to provide additional time to pay an outstanding balance without extending the effective date of cancellation. A balance must be billed before the user can delay the cancellation date, and the selected cancellation date must be both greater than the original cancellation date and greater than today’s date. When a user delays cancellation, the policy will cancel on the new cancellation date (unless payment is issued) but will use the original cancellation date as the effective cancellation date.

Introducing the LexisNexis Financial Institution Report System (FIRSt) integration. Carriers using BriteCore’s BriteSuite services can now integrate LexisNexis FIRSt for Personal Auto policies.

With this feature, you will be able to make manual commission adjustments on all commissionable policies per agent or agency for the most recent month, until the Commissions Payment Queue is cleared or processed. You will be able to make multiple adjustments, positive or negative, per agent or agency at one time. If manual commission adjustments are made, you will be able to regenerate an Agent Commission Report from the Pending Commissions Payments screen, and the Agent Commission Report will reflect the manual adjustment change.

BriteCore provides agents with additional features, enhanced usability, and a modern look with the new Accounts Receivable screen in the Agent portal. The new Agent portal Accounts Receivable screen is consistent with recent Accounts Receivable screen changes in the Provider Administrator portal.

With this feature, you will be able to configure a unique installment fee for each payment method within each billing schedule.

The Payments screens of the Policyholder portal (web version) have been redesigned to give the app a more modern look and feel and enhance the user experience.

Accessible from the new Loss Run tab in the Reports menu, the Loss Run report is created by an agent for a single policy. A Loss Run report is a frequent request from a policyholder. This first stage of Loss Run reports will allow the agent to create a Loss Run for one of their policies without having to contact the carrier.

Policy Retention will be a new standard report that allows a carrier to see how well they retain existing policies over a time range.

With the Historical Submitted Application Report, you can get details of all submitted applications that occurred over a date range, regardless of the current status of the policy or if the policy was accepted/rejected by underwriting.

Rate Capping will allow a carrier to cap a renewal rate change at each renewal until reaching the approved rate level using either a maximum percentage increase/decrease or a set dollar amount.

In Classic Rules, you will be able to create underwriting rules with the trigger in the Property section and the effect in the Policy Wide section of the quote.

Several legacy hardcoded reports that directly access a client’s database will be rewritten to use dataframes instead of SQL statements, which will optimize infrastructure changes and reduce the potential for errors when balancing between reports.

The Invoice Due Date Selection feature will allow you to select a specific due date for individual policies and linked policies.

Non-pay notices will issue only on non-holiday business days. Cancellations for non-payment of premium will also automatically process on non-holiday business days.
