Future Effective Dates

Schedule Insurance Product Changes Months Before They Go Live

Commercial insurance products rarely change immediately. Bureau updates, carrier pricing, underwriting guidelines, regulatory changes, and product enhancements are often announced weeks or months before they become effective. SelectRate allows insurance organizations to prepare, test, approve, and schedule future product changes well in advance while production continues using the current product version. Rather than performing late-night deployments or manual product cutovers, organizations can confidently schedule future product activation using configurable effective dates.
