The problem we solve

Traditional insurance binds you and disappears.

Most agencies operate the same four-step way. CID was built to change that entirely.

Traditional agency

Quote. Bind. Email PDFs. Disappear.

  • Policies buried in email chains nobody can find
  • COIs require phone calls and days of waiting
  • Coverage questions go unanswered until it is too late
  • Claims feel disconnected from the original relationship
  • Renewal is a surprise, not a conversation
  • No record. No continuity. No service layer.
CID Connect

Policy. Service. Answers. All in one place.

  • Policy vault visible the moment you open the app
  • COIs requested and tracked from your phone in minutes
  • Ask “Am I covered?” before the job — plain English answer
  • Claims initiated immediately with photos, from anywhere
  • Renewal visible at 60 days — no surprises
  • One account. From quote to renewal. Always there.
Why CID Connect

Built for the relationship after the bind.

Four commitments that run through everything Connect does.

🔐

Clarity

Policy, carrier, and limits visible instantly. No email digging, no confusion about what you have.

Speed

Request and track certificates without phone tag. Landlord needs it by 5pm? Two minutes.

💬

Confidence

Ask coverage questions before the job, the event, or the lease. Get a real answer from your actual policy.

🔗

Continuity

Quote, bind, documents, and service all connected to one account — from day one through renewal.

Platform

The app your policy lives in.

Three core modules that turn insurance from a static PDF into a working relationship.

Policy Vault

Open the app and know you’re covered.

Carrier, policy number, limits, and coverage dates — visible in two taps. Every event in your policy timeline in order: bind, COIs sent, claims filed.

  • Active policy card with carrier, limits, and dates always on screen
  • Renewal banner at 60 days — no surprise lapses
  • Quick actions: COI, coverage chat, documents, claims — one tap each
  • Full timeline: every bind event, COI, and claim in chronological order

COI Hub

Certificates without the phone tag.

Request a COI from the job site and track it from Received to Sent. Every holder is saved — reissuing to your GC or landlord next month takes one tap.

  • Real-time pipeline: Received → Generating → Sent
  • Certificate holder book: every landlord, GC, vendor saved automatically
  • Reissue to any saved holder in one tap — no retyping
  • Upload wording requirements: waiver of subrogation, primary non-contributory

Am I Covered?

Ask before it’s a claim.

Coverage questions built for your trade — answered in plain English from your actual policy. The real scenarios your business actually faces.

  • Bars: liquor liability, assault, events, food service
  • Roofers: torch work, post-install leaks, sub falls
  • Plumbers: water damage, gas line, mold claims
  • HVAC: refrigerant, electrical, CO exposure
  • Fitness: member injury, trainer liability, franchise COIs

About CID

Commercial insurance, modernized.

Commercial Insurance Direct brings trade-specific commercial insurance and a modern insured experience together in one place.

Quote, bind, request certificates, ask coverage questions, and manage your policy from CID Connect — built for bars, roofers, plumbers, HVAC, fitness, and the commercial businesses we serve next.

What we’re building toward

Our goal isn’t to be another insurance website. It’s to be the service layer commercial insureds actually use — the place they go for certificates, coverage answers, policy history, and renewals long after bind.

We’re building CID so the full lifecycle lives in one system: from first quote through bind, document delivery, ongoing service, and renewal. No restarting in email every time a landlord, GC, or bank asks for proof.

CID is commercial insurance, modernized for businesses that don’t have time to wait.

🏗

Trade-specific, not generic

Every segment gets its own intake, coverage scenarios, and COI workflow — built for how that trade actually operates.

🔗

Full lifecycle, one system

Quote through renewal in one place. No restarting in email every time a landlord or GC asks for proof.

📊

Built to grow

The same infrastructure that powers Bar Insurance Direct today scales to dozens of commercial verticals — without rebuilding anything.

Platform value

What makes this different to build on.

The infrastructure underneath Connect compounds in value as segments and policyholders scale.

🏗

Segment-native architecture

Each vertical gets trade-specific intake, underwriting logic, and coverage scenarios — not a generic form with a different logo.

🔄

RSS engine

Reliable. Scalable. Sellable. Universal intake, ACORD automation, carrier mapping, and segment replication from one infrastructure.

📊

Post-bind data layer

Every COI request, coverage question, and claim interaction creates structured engagement data traditional agencies never see.

🔒

Switching friction

Certificate holder books, policy timelines, and claim history are embedded in the customer’s workflow — not a PDF in a drawer.

🚀

Unlimited scalability

RSS architecture allows Connect to expand across dozens of commercial verticals from one infrastructure — hospitality, healthcare, transportation, and beyond.

💡

Platform valuation

Agencies are valued on revenue and book size. Platforms are valued on engagement, automation, retention, and embedded workflows. Connect is built for the latter.
