Choosing a CRM and workflow platform is one of the most significant operational decisions an insurance brokerage will ever make.

Traditional system implementations begin with software demonstrations, feature comparisons and pricing discussions before anyone truly understands how the business operates. At Fortix, we believe there is a better way.

Every successful implementation starts with understanding operational workflows, identifying business challenges and ensuring the technology support your people, not asking them to fit the technology.

This isn’t a software trial. It’s an opportunity to experience what working with Fortix actually feels like.

Over four to six weeks, we’ll work alongside your team to understand how your brokerage operates, configure a tailored Fortix environment and demonstrate how better workflows can improve visibility, efficiency and consistency.

  • Usual Duration: 4–6 weeks (or as agreed up to 6 months)
  • Designed for: Insurance brokerages evaluating operational transformation
  • Outcome: Confidence before making final decision

A Pilot allows us to observe your workflows, explore operational opportunities and demonstrate practical improvements using your own business as the example.

No two insurance brokerages operate the same way. Your people, processes, clients, insurers, reporting requirements and growth ambitions are unique. While technology plays an important role, successful operational transformation begins by understanding how work moves through your business today.

By the end of the Pilot, you’ll have a much clearer understanding of:

  • Where operational bottlenecks exist.
  • Which workflows should be improved first.
  • How Fortix supports your brokerage.
  • Whether the platform is the right long-term fit.
  • What a full implementation could realistically look like.

What you’ll experience

Discovery Sessions

We take the time to understand your brokerage, your people, your existing systems and the operational challenges you want to solve. Together we’ll review how work currently moves through your brokerage.

We’ll identify areas where manual effort, inconsistent processes or limited visibility create unnecessary complexity. This isn’t an audit. It’s a collaborative operational discovery process.

Demonstrations & Configuration

Instead of showing every feature, we use insights from the discovery phase to demonstrate an initial Fortix environment that reflects selected workflows within your business. These may include:

  • Lead management,
  • Client records,
  • Policy administration,
  • Service requests,
  • Task management,
  • Internal collaboration,
  • Automations,
  • Reporting,
  • Dashboards, and
  • Operational visibility.

Every demonstration is tailored to your brokerage rather than following a standard software script.

Experience & Play

Your team explores the platform through guided sessions, practical demonstrations and collaborative discussions about what implementation could look like.

By the end of the Pilot, you’ll have both a working understanding of Fortix and greater confidence in your next decision.

Collaborative Refinement & Guidance

Throughout the Pilot, you’ll work directly with the Fortix team. We’ll answer questions, share recommendations and help you understand both the immediate opportunities and the longer-term roadmap for operational improvement.

No. The Pilot is an evaluation and discovery process designed to help both your team and ours determine the best path forward. However the time and effort invested into the Pilot program will dramatically reduce the implementation time and efforts of the systems in your business.

Not necessarily. Most brokerages do have documentation vary from very simple to sophisticated. We’ll work with you to understand and map the workflows that matter most.

Broker Principals, Operations Managers, Team Leaders, Change Managers, System Leaders and the people responsible for day-to-day operations usually gain the greatest value.

Typically between four and six weeks, depending on the scope and availability of key stakeholders. In some instances we allowed Pilot to continue for up to 6 months so there is plenty of time to gather the information and not to make rushed decisions.

If the Pilot confirms Fortix is the right fit, we’ll develop an implementation roadmap tailored to your brokerage. This may include:

  • CRM implementation
  • Workflow automation
  • AI-enabled operational workflows
  • Third-party integrations
  • Team onboarding
  • Training
  • Continuous optimisation

Because implementation shouldn’t be the end of the journey. It should be the beginning of a better way of working.

We don’t simply implement technology. Our role is to help brokerages build stronger, more scalable businesses.

Software is only one part of operational transformation. The real value comes from understanding how people work, designing better workflows and implementing technology that supports your long-term growth your way.

For more than two decades, Fortix has partnered with businesses to improve operational performance through practical systems, thoughtful process design and trusted guidance.
