But today, proving value matters more than promising it. That is why we are excited to share a major milestone for Appulate. In the first quarter of this year, our clients (insurance professionals like you) have uploaded and extracted data from submissions more than 35,000 times using FORMS AI. Why does that matter? Every submission processed through FORMS AI represents time that underwriters, processors, and operations teams did not have to spend manually transcribing information from ACORD forms, loss runs, supplemental applications, Excel sheets, and other documents. Based on user feedback, the average submission package can take approximately 30 minutes to manually review and transcribe into downstream systems. That means FORMS AI has already helped eliminate: 17,500+ labor hours and over $1 MILLION in operational effort and processing costs. This milestone is not just about time saving, it reflects something bigger happening across the industry. Insurance organizations are under increasing pressure to do more with the same teams. Hiring and training remain expensive, speed to quote has become a competitive advantage, and at the same time, underwriting management is demanding greater accuracy, consistency, and auditability in how data is handled. Technology providers can no longer simply claim innovation. They must demonstrate measurable outcomes. At Appulate, we believe AI should solve real operational problems, not create new workflows or complexity. FORMS AI was designed to fit directly into existing insurance processes while reducing repetitive data entry and accelerating submission intake. And we are just getting started. Thank you to all of our clients and partners who continue to trust Appulate and help shape the future of intelligent submission processing! The results are real. The adoption is growing. And the value is measurable.
