  LOS ANGELES, CA, Jul 13 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
In an effort to streamline the sales process and make independent
insurance agents more successful, Leads360, the industry leader in sales
lead management software, today announced a seamless integration with
Allied Strategy's SEMCAT quoting solution. The new integration enables
independent insurance agents to manage leads and retrieve accurate,
bindable quotes from all of their appointed carriers with one streamlined
platform, thereby closing the gap between generated leads and revenue.

    Coupling Leads360's lead management system with SEMCAT's comparative
quoting engine, the integration allows agents to instantly and securely
send the data received through Leads360's lead management system to the
SEMCAT program to quickly generate insurance quotes with 100 percent
accuracy. A process that would normally take 10-20 minutes per carrier to
quote by hand is now made possible without any re-typing and results in
quotes from each carrier in a fraction of the time.

    Leads360's Web-based lead management software helps sales teams to
streamline their processes and enables timely follow-up and greater sales
results. While the software is flexible enough to accommodate the unique
workflow of sales organizations of all sizes in any industry, it is
specifically designed to address the needs of the insurance industry.
Today, more than 400 insurance companies use Leads360's software to
receive, distribute, contact, follow-up and convert more leads into
customers. The end result is improved sales and increased profitability.

    "As the competition in the insurance industry continues to grow, this
integration will give independent agents the leverage they need to work
more quickly and accurately to close the deal," said Jeff Solomon,
Leads360 founder and senior vice president of product and marketing. "We
are pleased to partner with SEMCAT to help insurance agents achieve
greater sales results."

    SEMCAT's engine enables agents to generate quotes with over 250 carriers
nationally. Independent agents simply import their prospective customer's
information into the system, then SEMCAT automatically populates the
information into the various carriers' quoting Web sites, thus
eliminating redundant typing and saving agents up to 85 percent of their
quoting time. More importantly, SEMCAT's quotes are proven to be 100
percent accurate and can be bound and issued immediately, unlike the
quote estimates presented by many other comparative raters.

    "The integration with Leads360 comes at a great time for our company, as
we have been experiencing rapid agency adoption nationally, serving more
than 4,000 agents in 43 states," said Colby Thomson, CEO of Allied
Strategy. "SEMCAT now offers a complete home and auto quoting solution in
states such as Florida, where there has been relatively weak comparative
rating capabilities. We are pleased to offer our agents this one-two
punch of a powerful lead management software solution coupled with our
comprehensive quoting engine."
