Processing and importing the download files from your insurance carriers is a simple process which has three stages:

  1. Download the files from the carriers to your computer/server.
  2. Import the download files into Newton.
  3. Address any Notes or Errors for downloads which did not silently process.

Download the Files From Your Insurance Carriers

There are a number of download manager programs, depending on which insurance companies the agency uses.

  • IVANS Transfer Manager
  • Team-UP Download
  • Progressive Plus
  • Mercury Downloader

Most files will be downloaded automatically to your computer/server through IVANS Transfer Manager.

For any download manager which does not run automatically, open each of the additional download managers to receive all files available from the company.

Import the Download Files Into Newton

  1. Select Other -> Download
  2. Select Add Files.

  5. If the Download Options are configured to Process files silently when performing immediate process, all policies with a matching number will process immediately without requiring user action. (Recommended)
  6. Review Pending Tab for items that require further attention.
