IVANS Transfer Manager and Company Specific Download Managers
IVANS is a third-party company that manages the electronic connection between insurance agencies and the carriers from whom they download policy information. Some carriers such as Progressive, Auto-Owners, and Mercury have their own Al3 download software used instead of IVANS Transfer Manager. The link below will discuss the setup of these methods to receive your download files.
Download Processing
Daily Process for Policy Downloads
Processing the download files from your insurance carrier is a simple process. The files will be imported to your system via a program called Transfer Manager (IVANS files) or proprietary software from the insuring company. Once the files have been retrieved the following will walk you through the steps to process those files.

Monthly Process for Direct Bill Invoicing
The Agency Systems Direct Bill Commission Download automates the direct bill payment process. The insurance carrier provides a special AL3 file which has details of commission payments; Agency Systems processes this file, automatically matches payments to existing invoices and policies, and greatly facilitates the process of manually matching those payments which were not automatically matched. After all payments are ready to process, the download creates the cash transaction, all the payments, policies and invoices as needed.
Commission Builder is feature bundled in the Direct Bill Commission Download Package. With Commission Builder you can directly input from paper commission statements for those carriers that do not provide electronic downloads.
