Heffernan Insurance's InsureMyEquipment.com Site Offers Easy - and Quick - Access from Smartphones
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Heffernan Insurance Brokers, one of the largest independent brokerage firms in the United States, just put a giant bow atop its gift to all the procrastinators in the video production industry who rent equipment.
InsureMyEquipment.com, the online site that allows production technicians to buy insurance on-the-spot, has made it even easier to obtain the all-important certificate of insurance - required by rental stores before any equipment can go out the door. Now operators of still cameras, video cameras, lights and sound machines can use any browser from their smartphones to buy insurance for rental equipment.
InsureMyEquipment.com is designed to be fast and easy. Clients are only required to enter information once, return customers do not have to re-enter data, saving valuable time when technicians need a quick quote. A new dashboard allows users to see current policies and quotes, as well as offering access to previous policies. Finally, any mistakes made when entering data can be easily corrected. Of course, security of information is assured.
"People tend to wait until the last minute to get the paperwork they need and InsureMyEquipment.com is a legitimate and fast way for them to obtain it," says Jeff Jackson, floor manager at rental equipment store Birns & Sawyer, Inc. in Hollywood. "Our customers have been so happy with the speed, price and ease of it."
The online site, which also offers insurance to operators who own their own equipment, has proven invaluable to the production industry. Since the site was launched in 2009, Heffernan has generated more than 750 equipment policies representing approximately $3 million in premiums. This volume provides the leverage that gives clients comprehensive coverage at very competitive premiums.
