Real-time comparative raters enable users to access rates from, and submit insurance data to, multiple carriers in real time with a single entry transaction. This single-entry process allows for increased productivity and efficiency and a higher level of client satisfaction. It eliminates the need to bounce between multiple Web sites and spend hours integrating data.

Encompass partners with a number of comparative rating companies based on what region your agency is located.  Manufactured rates are used by a large number of the rating companies.  In 2008 and beyond, a trend towards real-time processing is occuring.  The advantage of real-time comparative rating is that the quote is generated in Interlink and sent back to the rater!
