View Examples of the Brooke Document Management model coming to the rescue.

One of the most revolutionary aspects of franchising is the Brooke Management System or BMS.
BMS represents a complete rethinking of agency automation and agency management.

• First, BMS is web based so franchisees can have constant access to their work.

• Second, BMS is documents based because information sharing is made easier by converting documents into universal electronic images.

• Third, document distribution and customer notes are integrated with e-mail for delivery anywhere, anytime.

• Fourth, agency automation is only one component of agency management, so BMS is integrated with the processing center for cash and documents management, the facility center for office management, the advertising center for brand management and a staff of professional consultants for assistance with regulatory, personnel and other related matters.

• Fifth, BMS is integrated with AMS SetWrite for insurance policy rating and interfaces with IVANS to download.

Brooke Management Systems to the Rescue

Natural Disasters
When hurricane Katrina hit in 2005, the gulf coast experienced one of the deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. Hurricane Katrina is also the record holder as the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history with $81.2 billion in damage. The wide spread damages left many businesses unable to resume business activities. Brooke Insurance customers found relief in their local agencies being back up and running efficiently within a short period of time. By having all of the policy holder information in the Brooke Management System, the local Brooke agencies were able to service their customers in a time of great need.

Fire
Recently a Brooke Franchise location was burned down by a fire. The contents of the location were destroyed, however, all of the agency's critical customer information and documentation were safe in the Brooke Management System. The location was able to continue to serve their customers effectively from an alternative location while the Brooke Facility team worked on getting a new location set up for resuming business out of a permanent place of business.

Working Off Location
Sometimes circumstances arise where a franchise owner must be off location for a period of time. Whatever the reasons or timeframe, the Brooke Management System can provide you with peace of mind when not physically in the office. The virtual management set up allows for you to access and receive your documents from anywhere since it is set up as a website interface that can be accessed through an Internet connection.
