Distribution Management

Insurance Distribution Management Software Providers (2026)

An honest look at the insurance distribution management landscape. We lead with Turris because it's ours, but we'll tell you where every competitor does well and where they come up short.

Last updated: February 2026

A note on how this page was made

The research, data gathering, and initial drafting of this page were done with the help of AI. Some details may be out of date, incomplete, or not publicly available, and we welcome corrections from any company listed here.

We feel strongly about limiting AI's role in commentary and subject matter expertise, especially in highly regulated industries like insurance. This is especially true when giving advice on compliance workflows where getting things wrong has real consequences. But for an objective vendor comparison like this one, where the work is mostly research, structuring public data, and presenting facts side by side, we felt comfortable using AI more heavily than we typically would.

What Should Modern Distribution Management Software Do?

Before you start comparing vendors, it helps to know what you should be looking for. Here's what we think the bar should look like in 2026.

Producer Onboarding & Contracting

Self-service portals with NIPR auto-population, e-signatures, document collection, background checks, and contracting automation. Emailing data back and forth to onboard agents is a sign the tool is falling short. Bulk import and customizable workflows should be standard.

License & Appointment Management

Real-time license verification across all 50 states, LOA tracking, proactive renewal alerts, automated appointment filing, JIT appointments, and termination management. Your compliance team should be spending their time on judgment calls, not data entry.

Compliance Monitoring & Audit

Configurable compliance rules, automated regulatory change tracking, expiration monitoring, CE credit tracking, and a full audit trail. Your compliance process shouldn't depend on someone remembering to check a spreadsheet on a certain day.

Reporting & Analytics

Dashboards you can actually customize, producer performance metrics, compliance risk scoring, exportable reports, and executive-level visibility. You need to be able to see distribution health in real time, not wait for someone to pull a report.

Data Ingestion: API and Agentic

Just an API is no longer enough. The platform needs to support both API-based integrations for modern systems and agentic data ingestion for legacy environments where no API exists. Most carriers and MGAs are migrating off decades-old systems, spreadsheets, or BPO providers.

API-First Architecture

If it's in the web app, it should be in the API. Webhooks, CRM integration, AMS connectivity, and the ability to build workflows on top. If a vendor locks you into their UI with no programmatic access, that's a problem you'll feel at scale.

More Than Distribution

Commission management, surplus lines compliance, premium finance, corporate registrations, continuing education. These should be available as modules in the same platform. Buying five different point solutions from five different vendors and trying to make them talk to each other is a recipe for ops headaches and wasted budget.

Intelligence, Not Just Automation

There's a difference between moving data faster and actually catching things humans miss. Regulatory changes, compliance gaps, anomalous patterns, risk signals. A good platform should surface the problems you didn't know to look for.

Compliance Expertise Behind the Software

Ask who the compliance person is. Not the product manager or AE who "understands compliance" but the actual lawyer or compliance expert on staff, and how much time they've spent operating in the insurance space. A platform built by engineers alone will automate the wrong things. Multi-state regulatory nuance, carrier appointment workflows, the real consequences of getting compliance wrong: this stuff matters, and the vendor should be able to tell you exactly who on their team owns it.

The Bottom Line

If a platform only handles one piece of the problem (license tracking but not commission management, or onboarding but not analytics), you'll end up managing multiple vendors, multiple logins, and multiple invoices. Look for a platform that consolidates these workflows, lets you adopt modules at your own pace, and has people behind the software who have actually worked in insurance operations for decades.

Turris (Our Platform)

SaaS · AI-Native
Target
Carriers, MGAs, Agencies
Architecture
API-first · AI agents

Positioning: We built Turris because we ran MGAs and wished this tool existed. AI-native distribution management and compliance, designed by people who've actually operated insurance back offices. Think Rippling, but for insurance ops.

What Sets Us Apart

  • The only modern platform built from an AI-native perspective with no competing business models. This is our core business.
  • Over 50 enterprise customers, over 2,300 agencies on our platform, and have processed over 24 million licenses records in just under two years of existence.
  • We can migrate your data from any source, even systems with no API. We've pulled data out of legacy portals, spreadsheets, and manual processes that other vendors won't touch.
  • The only platform that can onboard producers in minutes and have them ready to sell. Average decrease in wait time to first bind is over 90%.
  • Distribution management, internal licensing, surplus lines, finance workflows, and corporate registrations all live in one platform. Adopt one module or all of them.
  • Saves carrieres tens of thousands of dollars in appointment costs by using just-in-time appointments tied with Turris automations
  • Everything in the web app is in the API. Webhooks, CRM integration, full programmatic access.
  • Our team has actually run insurance operations. The features exist because we needed them ourselves.
  • Strategic partners with the BIG I's technology accelerator, so you know we understand producers.
  • Enterprise flexibility for fronting carriers and large carriers with multiple business units and able to handle any and every complex distribution flow.

Honest Limitations

  • We're newer to market. We don't have a big G2 or Capterra presence yet, but we're happy to connect you with current customers directly.
  • Commission management, 1099 automation, and producer analytics are on the roadmap but not shipped yet.
  • No mobile app.

Pricing

Free platform access for agencies. Flexible minimums for startups and MGAs. Volume discounts for large enterprise carriers and when you bundle multiple modules. On average, we're over 40% less expensive than incumbent alternatives. We price on outcome or transaction versus an arbitrary subscription or seat model.

ACCEL Compliance

Services + Software · Agency/Broker focused · Surplus lines specialist
+
Founded
2014
HQ
West Hartford, CT
Model
Software + Managed Services
Employees
27
Target
Agencies, Brokers, TPAs

Key context: ACCEL Compliance is a hybrid: a managed compliance services firm that built its own software (GreenLight®) around its service operations. Their compliance analysts use the same tools they offer clients, which means the software is shaped by real daily workflows rather than product roadmaps. They also operate ACCEL Law Group, giving them a legal angle most competitors don't have. Less manual than a pure BPO, but still services-led.

What They Do Well

  • In-house compliance team with 100+ years combined insurance regulatory experience
  • GreenLight platform built and refined by the people who actually use it daily
  • Connected to ACCEL Law Group for regulatory legal support
  • API integrations with AMS/CRM/PAS systems at no additional cost

Limitations

  • No appointment management capabilities
  • Agency/broker focused — not built for carrier-side distribution management
  • No AI or automation beyond workflow automation
  • No mobile app

Pricing

Subscription access combined with activity-based fees. Not publicly available. Custom quotes based on usage intensity.

Best Fit

Mid-size agencies and brokers who want software-supported compliance management with expert humans behind it — especially if surplus lines is a significant part of the business. Less suited for carriers or organizations that need appointment automation and full distribution management.

Agenzee

Early-stage · Agency-focused · License monitoring
+
Founded
2022
HQ
United States
Model
SaaS
Target
Small agencies & MGAs

Key context: Focused specifically on agency-level compliance monitoring, with a well-regarded mobile app. Narrower in scope than full distribution management platforms, but a solid option if compliance tracking is your primary gap.

What They Do Well

  • Simple, focused license monitoring
  • Likely affordable for small shops
  • Native mobile app with Apple Watch support (unique in this space)

Limitations

  • No surplus lines, corp registrations, or internal licensing
  • No appointment management or carrier submission workflows
  • No enterprise customers that we could identify
  • More agency-focused - not purpose built for carriers or MGAs managing large producer networks

Pricing

Not publicly available. Likely a low price point given the target market.

Best Fit

Very small agencies that only need basic license monitoring and don't expect to outgrow it.

AgentSync

Strong Brand · Salesforce-native · Expensive and tech that's starting to be outdated
+
Founded
2018
Model
SaaS (on Salesforce)
Target
Carriers, MGAs, Agencies
Customers
300+ (claimed)
G2 Rating
~4.5/5

Key context: The most well-funded pure-play in this space, built entirely on Salesforce. That's great if you're a Salesforce shop, but it means platform lock-in and added licensing cost. Worth noting: they've had recent executive departures (including a co-founder) and new PE owners.

What They Do Well

  • Strong brand and funding ($164M+)
  • If you run Salesforce, the native integration is genuinely useful
  • 300+ customers, real G2 reviews (~4.5/5)
  • Users report real time savings on licensing workflows

Limitations

  • You need Salesforce. That's $75-300/user/month on top of the AgentSync contract.
  • API and appointment automation limitations
  • Executive turnover and new ownership in recent quarters
  • No surplus lines, corp registrations, or registered agent
  • Users report NIPR sync delays and slow onboarding
  • Limited adjuster licensing support

Pricing

No public pricing, but understood to be one of the most expensive options next to Sircon

Best Fit

Salesforce-heavy organizations that want native CRM integration and need a vendor with established brand recognition for procurement. Scope is limited to distribution management and producer compliance.

+
Founded
2025
HQ
San Francisco, CA
Model
SaaS
Target
Carriers, MGAs
Reviews
None found (G2/Capterra)

Key context: Producer Flow is owned by Agentero, which operates an agency network. If you're a carrier or MGA, that means your producer data lives on a tool owned by a company that is competing with those other producers. Make sure your other agencies and agency networks are ok with this.

What They Do Well

  • Modern, clean interface purpose-built for distribution workflows
  • No Salesforce dependency - runs on its own stack
  • Understands agency pain points in dealing with carriers
  • Newer technology stack without legacy baggage

Limitations

  • Agentero ownership creates potential headache if they can see data on your other producers.
  • No surplus lines, commission management, or corp registrations. Point solution only. If you need more, you'll need another vendor.
  • No free agency product
  • We couldn't find an experienced compliance expert on their team, which raises questions about the regulatory depth behind the product
  • Multiple business models (SaaS is secondary to agency network) so there may be concerns about the longevity of the smaller business model

Pricing

Not publicly available. Sales conversation required. Claimed to be 30% less than other options.

Best Fit

Organizations that only need basic producer onboarding and license monitoring and aren't concerned about Agentero having access to producer data from all agency partners.

Founded

HQ
Morrisville, NC
Model

Target
Large carriers & distributors
Core
CE & regulatory training

Key context: RegEd is really a compliance education and CE management company. They have producer licensing capabilities, but distribution management isn't their core product. They also cover securities (FINRA/SEC), which is unusual in this space.

What They Do Well

  • Deep CE and compliance training expertise
  • Large content library for regulatory training
  • One of the few platforms covering both insurance and securities compliance
  • Long-standing relationships with large carriers

Limitations

  • Distribution management is a secondary focus, not their core product
  • No surplus lines, corp registrations, or SOS filings
  • Older technology stack with limited API capabilities
  • No AI-native processing

Pricing

Not publicly available. Enterprise sales only.

Best Fit

Organizations where CE management and regulatory training are the primary need, especially if you also have securities compliance requirements. Less suited if distribution management is what you're actually trying to solve.

BPO / Managed Services
Employees
3,000+ (offshore)
Target
Carriers, MGAs, Agencies

Key context: Resource Pro isn't software. They're a BPO firm. They give you outsourced teams who do insurance operations work manually. This is a fundamentally different comparison: platform vs. service provider.

What They Do Well

  • You don't have to adopt any technology
  • Experienced insurance operations teams, 20+ year track record
  • Good at handling messy, exception-heavy processes
  • Useful for peak period supplementation

Limitations

  • Cost scales linearly: more work means more people means more money
  • No self-service, no real-time visibility into what's happening
  • No API or system integration
  • Turnaround measured in days, not hours
  • Your data and institutional knowledge live with a third party

Pricing

FTE-based or per-deliverable. Custom quotes.

Best Fit

Organizations with zero internal ops capacity that need someone else to do the work entirely, with no near-term plan to bring operations in-house or adopt technology.

Merged into Auctivo (2024)

Key context: Rhoads was acquired in mid-2025 and folded into the Auctivo GRC platform. They have nearly 50 years of regulatory expertise, but the merger introduces real questions about product direction, support continuity, and where investment goes next.

What They Do Well

  • Nearly 50 years of insurance licensing expertise
  • Hybrid model: technology plus managed services
  • Some corporate registrations capabilities
  • Deep domain knowledge from decades in the space

Limitations

  • Post-merger uncertainty. Product roadmap, support structure, and team are all in flux.
  • Legacy technology platform
  • Limited modern API capabilities
  • Historically serves very large carriers only
  • Hard to get clear information post-merger

Pricing

Not publicly available. Enterprise/custom quotes.

Best Fit

Existing Rhoads customers who want continuity, or large carriers that need a hybrid tech + managed services approach and are comfortable with merger-related transition risk.

Saratoga Springs, NY
Model

Parent
Haven Capital / Altaline Capital
Target
Agencies, Brokers, TPAs

Key context: Saratoga was formed in late 2025 when PE firms Haven Capital Partners and Altaline Capital combined 3H Compliance Group (3HCG) and National Licensing Compliance Group (NLCG) into a single entity. They have their own software platform (Creative Compliance Hub) and a full managed services operation. The PE backing signals an intent to invest in technology and AI, but the platform today is services-led with software support.

What They Do Well

  • 20+ years of insurance compliance expertise with 100+ years combined on the team
  • Strong entity management: formation, dissolution, SOS filings, registered agent services
  • Creative Compliance Hub gives clients dashboards, NIPR integration, and custom reports
  • Accuracy guarantee — they pay for their mistakes

Limitations

  • No appointment management capabilities
  • Agency/broker focused — not built for carrier-side distribution management
  • No REST API or integrations with CRM/PAS systems
  • New PE ownership means the product roadmap is in transition
  • No AI or advanced automation yet (announced as a goal, not delivered)

Pricing

Not publicly available. Managed services engagement with custom quotes.

Best Fit

Agencies and brokers looking for a managed compliance partner with real depth in entity management, surplus lines, and corporate registrations. Especially strong if you need someone to handle the operational complexity of multi-state licensing at scale. Less suited if you need a self-service platform, appointment automation, or carrier-side tools.

Sircon (Vertafore)

Legacy incumbent · Vertafore/Roper · Hundreds of carriers
+
Founded
1994
Parent
Vertafore
Model
SaaS (legacy)
Target
Large carriers
Scale
100K+ NPNs proven

Key context: Sircon is the incumbent. Most large carriers run it today. It works, but it's widely criticized for poor support, dated UX, and slow innovation. It's owned by Vertafore, which is owned by Roper Technologies. A lot of the organizations we talk to are specifically looking to leave Sircon.

What They Do Well

  • Deepest regulatory data relationships in the market
  • Proven at massive scale (100K+ NPNs)
  • Decades of compliance rules logic built up
  • Compliance teams know how to use it
  • Has internal licensing capabilities
  • Vertafore ecosystem integration

Limitations

  • Customer support is consistently rated poorly
  • The UX is outdated
  • Implementation takes months to years
  • Still on SOAP APIs, not modern REST
  • Rigid and hard to customize
  • Pricing is opaque and expensive
  • No corp registrations, registered agent services, or AI
  • Owned by a conglomerate that doesn't invest in it the way a focused company would

Pricing

Not publicly disclosed. Enterprise sales only.

Generally perceived as expensive, with significant implementation costs on top of licensing fees.

Best Fit

Very large carriers (50K+ NPNs) deeply invested in the Vertafore ecosystem who don't want to migrate, or where compliance team familiarity with Sircon outweighs the desire for better tools.

Bengaluru, India (SF office)
Model
SaaS
Target
Carriers, FMOs, IMOs
Employees
500+

Key context: Vymo started as a sales engagement platform and added compliance/onboarding (OnboardIQ) as a module. Their real strength is AI-driven sales productivity: next-best-action recommendations, activity tracking, producer performance analytics. Distribution management is the add-on, not the core product.

What They Do Well

  • AI Co-Pilot for compliance Q&A and recruiting
  • Strong producer analytics and performance management
  • Mobile-first with GPS activity tracking
  • NIPR PDB integration for onboarding and licensing
  • Background checks and DocuSign built in
  • 60+ financial institution customers globally
  • JIT appointments and automated filing

Limitations

  • Sales engagement is the real product. Compliance is the add-on.
  • No surplus lines, corp registrations, or registered agent
  • No internal entity licensing
  • No CE content or education management
  • User reviews flag UI/UX concerns
  • Limited public API documentation
  • Headquartered in India with a US office. Time zone and support availability can be a factor.
  • No free agency product

Pricing

Starting at $50/month (entry tier); enterprise pricing is custom

Modular: OnboardIQ and EngageIQ available separately or bundled

Best Fit

Large carriers and distribution organizations (FMOs, IMOs) that want sales productivity tools alongside basic compliance. If your primary need is deep regulatory compliance and distribution management, Vymo's compliance module may feel like a secondary feature, because it is.

The Bigger Picture: Platform vs. Point Solutions

Most insurance organizations we talk to are running 4-6 different tools (or BPOs) for distribution management, internal licensing, surplus lines, corporate registrations, and compliance monitoring. Each one has its own data silo, its own login, and its own invoice.

We're building one platform for all of it. Start with the module you need most and expand from there. Everything shares the same data, the same API, and the same architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Turris different from other distribution management tools?

Three things. First, we're AI-native, meaning we can actually automate a lot of what other tools cannot, but still do so with expert human-in-the-loop. Second, we cover distribution management, internal licensing, surplus lines, and corporate registrations in one platform, so you're not stitching together three vendors. Third, we can migrate your data from any system, even ones with no API. We've pulled data out of legacy portals that other vendors told customers were impossible.

Can I migrate to Turris from my current system?

Yes. We can pull your data from Sircon, AgentSync, spreadsheets, or manual systems with no API. Most migrations finish in weeks. We've done this enough times that the process is well understood.

Does Turris require Salesforce or any other platform?

No. Turris runs on its own stack with no external platform dependencies. Full REST API and web application. You don't need to buy another license to use ours.

Is it important that my vendor has a true compliance expert on staff?

Yes, and it's one of the most overlooked things in vendor evaluation. Insurance licensing and compliance isn't something you can learn from a product management bootcamp. The difference between a vendor that employs actual compliance professionals — people who've filed licenses, managed appointments, navigated state-specific regulatory quirks — and one that just built software around a spec is enormous. When an edge case comes up (and they always do), you want someone on the other end who's seen it before, not someone reading the same NAIC bulletin you are. At Turris, compliance expertise is embedded in how we build, not just how we sell. We think that matters, especially when regulators are involved.

Why doesn't Turris have more public reviews?

We're earlier stage and have been focused on building the product and earning customers. Our G2 and Capterra presence is growing. In the meantime, we'll connect you directly with current customers who can speak to their experience.

Is AgentSync worth the price?

AgentSync has strong brand recognition, $164M+ in funding, and a real customer base with solid G2 reviews. If you're already a Salesforce shop, the native integration can be genuinely useful. That said, you're paying for Salesforce licensing on top of what's already understood to be one of the most expensive options in the space. They also have new PE ownership, recent executive turnover, and limitations around API access and appointment automation. If budget is a factor or you don't run Salesforce, there are more cost-effective options that don't require platform lock-in.

Is Producer Flow really owned by an agency network?

Yes. Producer Flow is a product of Agentero, which operates an agency network. You can verify this publicly, though you won't find it mentioned in their marketing. If you're a carrier or MGA, it's worth thinking about whether you want your producer data on a platform owned by a company that also operates as a distribution channel.

Is Agenzee a viable option for my agency?

For very small agencies that only need basic license monitoring, it could work. They have a nice mobile app (Apple Watch support, which is unique) and AI document recognition. But they appear to be unfunded, there are no enterprise proof points we could find, and they lack appointment management, surplus lines, and integrations. If you plan to grow, you'll probably outgrow Agenzee.

What's the difference between RegEd and a distribution management platform?

RegEd is really a compliance education and CE management company that also does some producer licensing. Their training content library is extensive and they uniquely cover both insurance and securities (FINRA/SEC). But if your actual need is producer onboarding, appointment automation, and distribution management, you're looking at a secondary feature in their platform, not their core focus.

Why would I choose a software platform over a BPO like Resource Pro?

Resource Pro gives you outsourced people who do the work manually. The tradeoff: costs scale linearly (more work = more people), you have no real-time visibility, and your institutional knowledge lives with a third party. BPO makes sense if you have zero ops capacity and no plans to change that. A platform gives you control.

How does ACCEL Compliance compare to Resource Pro?

Both are services-led, but ACCEL built its own software (GreenLight) that their compliance analysts use every day. That means you get a real platform with dashboards, reporting, and API integrations — not just outsourced people working in spreadsheets. They're also strong on surplus lines with their BlueBack library and tax calculator. The tradeoff: they're a small team (27 people), agency/broker focused, and don't do appointment management. If you need a compliance services partner with actual software behind it and surplus lines is a big part of your business, ACCEL is worth a look. If you need carrier-side distribution management or appointment automation, they're not the right fit.

What's happening with Rhoads and the Auctivo merger?

Rhoads was acquired by Equality Asset Management in mid-2025 and is being folded into the Auctivo GRC platform. They have nearly 50 years of licensing expertise, but the merger means the product roadmap, support structure, and team are all in transition. If you're an existing customer, it's worth getting clarity on the integration plan. If you're evaluating new platforms, mergers like this typically mean slower innovation and support disruptions in the near term.

What is Saratoga Compliance Solutions and how do they compare?

Saratoga was formed in late 2025 when PE firms combined 3H Compliance Group (3HCG) and National Licensing Compliance Group (NLCG) into one entity. They bring 20+ years of compliance services experience, their own software (Creative Compliance Hub), and strong entity management and corporate registration capabilities. They're a solid option if you're an agency or broker looking for a managed services partner who also gives you a dashboard and reporting. The PE backing suggests more investment in technology is coming, but right now the platform is services-first. If you need appointment automation, carrier-side distribution management, or API integrations, they're not the right fit.

Is Sircon still the right choice for large carriers?

Sircon has the deepest feature set and the largest carrier install base, built over 30+ years. If you're already running it and deeply invested in the Vertafore ecosystem, migrating has real cost. That said, most of the organizations we talk to are evaluating alternatives specifically because of Sircon's dated UX, poor customer support, legacy APIs, and months-long implementations. We can migrate your data from Sircon using agentic migration (no API dependency) and it typically takes days, not months.

How does Vymo compare to a pure distribution management platform?

Vymo is a sales engagement platform that added compliance as a module. Their strengths are in producer performance analytics, next-best-action AI, and mobile activity tracking. The OnboardIQ module does handle NIPR integration, JIT appointments, and licensing, but compliance is the add-on, not the core product. If you want sales productivity tools with some compliance built in, Vymo makes sense. If distribution management and deep regulatory compliance are what you're solving for, you'll want something purpose-built.
