Maximum Processing and First Advantage ADR Form Alliance

BRADENTON, Fla., March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Maximum Processing, developers of The Stingray System, a fully functional Web based property and casualty insurance administration solution, today announced a new alliance with First Advantage ADR, a leading national provider of driving record data.  The alliance will result in the integration of The Stingray System with First Advantage ADR's ZapApp and Carrier MVR applications to provide Maximum Processing clients with more comprehensive underwriting resources.

"In order to continue improving straight-through processing capabilities and to facilitate accurate underwriting decisions, carriers require real-time information, such as motor vehicle reports," says Sean Pitcher, president and Chief Executive Officer of Maximum Processing.  "The Stingray System has addressed this problem by integrating with the systems of various vendors - and now, First Advantage ADR - to provide critical underwriting information as part of our Web based administration solution," explains Pitcher.

First Advantage ADR's ZapApp offers a way to standardize electronic applications for underwriting purposes from agents to carriers with one of the most widely used underwriting tools in the industry today. ZapApp is used extensively by carriers in over 3,500 agent outlets in multiple lines, including auto, home and commercial auto, to produce, print and transfer data for over $100 million in property and casualty premiums.

With Carrier MVR, when an insurance agent orders a motor vehicle report (MVR) for underwriting purposes, the MVR is electronically and expeditiously delivered to both the agent and the underwriting carrier, speeding up the process and eliminating the need for the carrier to order another report.  First Advantage ADR Director of Sales Robert Scholtz notes, "Carrier MVR represents a fundamental shift in processes and an impressive gain in efficiency for our clients. Insurance carriers are readily allocating resources to adopt this product because of the considerable hard and soft gains they can realize immediately upon implementation."

"Maximum Processing is committed to continually improving the functionality of The Stingray System, providing carriers with the best of both worlds, the latest features and the ability to provide their underwriters and agents with straight-through processing," continued Pitcher. "This alliance with First Advantage ADR strengthens our ever-growing commitment to Stingray's users."
