Latest Inertia Features

Here are some of the latest features available to help you, your business and your customers.

  • Variable Excess
    As part of our ongoing commitment to you and your customers we have now introduced variable excesses to our Buildings & contents policy. The standard excess remains at £100 (subsidence under buildings £1,000) but now the customer can vary their excess from £50 to £500 to more specifically suit their demands and needs. To reduce the excess to £50 will mean a small premium increase but to increase the excess will mean a premium decrease in line with the excess required by your customer. This is now part of the quotation process and is selectable from a drop-down list of values.
  • Landlords Quotations
    Due to high demand, Landlords Buildings and Contents quotations are now available on Inertia version 3. In order to add this additional quotation feature to your Inertia software, you will need to do an internet update. If you require any help with updating your software then please telephone our Inertia Support Team on 08450 615 200. If you require some guidance on how to generate a Landlords Buildings and Contents Insurance Quotation, please visit our FAQ area.

  • Optional Personal Possessions Cover
    To improve our sales process, changes have been made to the Personal Possessions field on Inertia:
    • The field will be renamed 'Optional Personal Possessions'
    • The default value will be £500.00
    • A drop down list of values will be provided however the field can be 'free keyed' if a specific amount is required. This will also ensure any existing quotations where the value is not in the drop down list are still valid.
    • If no Personal Possessions cover is required by your customer(s), £0 will need to be keyed in or selected from the drop down list.
  • Buildings & Contents Extra
    This is now part of the overall quotation process and allows you to offer your customers buildings and contents cover in excess of our standard limits. By simply ticking the 'Extra' cover boxes you can increase your customers cover to £500,000 for buildings and £60,000 for contents.

  • Home Emergency and Legal Expenses Cover

    Home Emergency provides cover to help make your customers home safe, secure and habitable after a sudden and unexpected event causes damage to their home or contents. Cost of repair by the designated qualified workman for up to £500 is included as well as overnight accommodation up to £100.

    Legal Expenses provides cover for the cost of defending or negotiating your customers legal rights against employment or contract disputes, bodily injury, property protection, tax investigation or legal defenses as well as the possibility of contributing to the cost of lost wages if your customer is on jury service.

    When performing a Buildings and Contents quotation in Inertia, the two tick boxes for Home Emergency and Legal Expenses Cover will already be pre selected. If this additional cover is not needed by your customers, simply de- select the boxes.

  • Multiple Users
    You can now register multiple users on Inertia, which is a feature we added due to high requirement for this facility. Now all of your users (if applicable) can share, access and edit one central customer database.

  • Managing your customer contact
    The new Diary, Task and Appointments system with automatic and customised reminders helps you to ensure the application procedure runs smoothly.
