API-Based Capability to Modernize Group Insurance Quoting Process

ATLANTA, GA – October 26 2023 – Centro Benefits Research (Centro), a fully-owned subsidiary of OneDigital, a leading insurance, financial services and human resources consulting firm, today announced the launch of a broker-carrier RFP and Quoting API integration with MetLife for all ancillary employee benefits products. This API connection will enable Centro and MetLife to seamlessly exchange RFP and quote proposal data directly between the Centro platform and the MetLife Group operating platform and, as a result, significantly improve the speed, accuracy, operational efficiency, and cost of this manually intense process.

In an era where digital transformation has become an indicator of progress, Centro is creating a unique value by pairing our domain knowledge and experience with powerful software to deliver an all-in-one modern platform that eliminates most of the manual steps across the value chain for the carriers and brokers we serve. Working with MetLife to launch the RFP and Quoting API integration is a big step towards modernization of these processes.

Centro's RFP and Quoting API Integration with MetLife transforms the labor-intensive RFP and Quoting process for employers with fewer than 100 employees and enables seamless, real-time data exchange. This results in faster turnaround times, greater accuracy, and downstream error reduction, leading to an enhanced overall user experience for brokers and employers.
