The Challenge

Disconnected Phone Tools Create Hidden Costs for Agencies

Many agencies rely on standalone phone systems, personal cell phones, or a mix of communication tools that were never designed to work together. Over time, that creates inefficiencies, inconsistent records, and unnecessary costs.

When calls happen outside your core system, teams often deal with:

  • Switching between multiple apps and logins throughout the day
  • Manually logging call notes or client activity
  • Missed visibility into past conversations and follow-ups
  • Extra storage fees or rising third-party phone costs
  • Inconsistent call handling across staff or departments
  • Limited documentation for disputes, audits, or accountability
  • Personal devices being used for business communication
  • More vendors, more integrations, and more complexity to manage

For agencies trying to grow, disconnected communication creates drag.

The Solution

Insurance-Focused Phone System Built into AMS+

AMS+ combines business phone capabilities with your agency management system (AMS) so communication stays connected to your operations — not separated from them.

  • Faster Conversations: Reach clients and prospects instantly with click-to-call directly from their record. No dialing numbers manually or searching across systems.
  • Smarter Call Routing: Use forwarding, ring groups, interactive voice response (IVR) menus, and call queues to direct calls to the right person or team, whether they’re in-office or remote.
  • Better Documentation: Automatically log calls, store recordings, and maintain a cleaner history of client communication inside AMS+.
  • Professional Client Communication: Use voicemail drops, business numbers, branded messaging, and organized follow-up to create a stronger client experience.
  • Lower Tech Complexity: Replace disconnected tools and extra subscriptions with communication built into the platform you already use. Learn how one agency saves $6,000+ a year on VoIP subscription costs alone with AMS+.
  • Stay Reachable Anywhere: Support hybrid, remote, and field-based advisors with communication tools that keep your team responsive without relying on personal devices or disconnected workflows.

FAQs About Phone System in AMS+

  • Insurance-specific VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a cloud-based phone system built within an AMS that includes features tailored for insurance agencies. These features include:

    • Click-to-call dialer
    • Built-in call recordings
    • Automated phone directory and routing (IVR) 
    • Compliance-friendly playable recordings
    • Customizable call queues

    Standard phone systems often don’t integrate with client/policy databases or capture compliance-specific recordings automatically. Using an insurance-specific phone tool, like the one in AMS+, it all works seamlessly.

  • By using the built-in VoIP feature in AMS+, agents can dial directly from client/lead records, with the system automatically attaching the call log and recording to the correct profile. This:

    • Eliminates duplicate data entry
    • Reduces duplicative manual entry
    • Supports higher conversion and better client servicing
    • Ensures compliance with federal regulations

    Additionally, features like click-to-call, call queues, voicemail drops, and the automated IVR directory help scale outreach and reduce administrative overhead. 

  • Yes. The VoIP tools within AMS+ support pre-recorded compliance messages, automatically records calls, stores recordings in the contact’s profile, and connects them to policy or lead records. This supports audit-readiness, traceability, and regulatory compliance. Since AMS+ is built with insurance workflows in mind, it addresses the unique requirements of health, benefits, and senior market agencies rather than generic office phone systems.

  • Absolutely. The AMS+ VoIP tools catersto both sides:

    • For sales teams, it supports rapid outreach with call queues and click-to-call
    • For service and claims teams, it logs call details, attaches documents, and streamlines compliance 

    Because it lives within the same AMS, both teams share a unified communication record rather than disparate systems.

  • To begin, schedule a demo. During implementation, you’ll:

    • Map your agents, extensions, and phone numbers
    • Enable click-to-call dialing, configure ring groups, and  set upcall queues all within AMS+
    • Define compliance recordings (IVR, greeting messages) and call-recording storage rules

    Once configured, your agency can leverage the VoIP tools in AMS+ within weeks and start measuring call volumes, response times, and connection-to-close rates.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"We switched to the phone system in AMS+ and saved $6,000, but those savings will only compound. Our previous VoIP solution would bill us for storage and increase the bill whenever we increased our storage. Over time, that price would've skyrocketed." — Ben M.
