LUBBOCK, Texas, Jan. 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARMtech Insurance Services, Inc. (ARMtech), an operating subsidiary of Endurance Specialty Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:ENH), is pleased to announce that ARMtech Mobile Applications has been expanded to offer crop insurance quoting and claims submissions.
As a leading provider of U.S. government sponsored Multi-Peril Crop Insurance and other private crop insurance products, ARMtech was one of the first to introduce mobile capabilities allowing insureds to view their policy information and agents to view their customer data from their smartphones and other mobile devices. The enhanced quoting and claims functionality expands on existing features which include the ability to track commodity prices, search for available insurance products, view actuarial changes, review policyholder and policy information and read agricultural-related news. The ARMtech Mobile Application is available for download through iTunes and the Android Market.
Ted Etheredge, President of ARMtech, commented, "We at ARMtech are very excited to introduce mobile quoting and claims directly to farmers. By enabling farmers to directly access quotes themselves, crop insurance agents can focus their time with farmers on developing risk management strategies."
He added, "The introduction of the mobile claims feature now allows insureds and agents to quickly and easily open a claim right from their phone and document pertinent information in real time for more efficient and prompt claims turnaround."
