Evomada announces that its beta application of a smartphone app for the insurance industry is being released initially to selected insurance agencies throughout Southern California.

The Evomada app will allow auto ID cards and certificates of insurance to be displayed on a smart phone device. A nationwide rollout is expected later this year.

California Assembly Bill 1708 went into effect in January, making it the seventh state to allow motorists to display their auto ID cards on smart phones.

Thomas Anderson, president of Evomada said,

“Evomada fills a void in the marketplace with useful tools that are not currently available for independent insurance agents,” says Thomas Anderson, president of Evomada. “By working together with other agency partners, business clients and customers, Evomada will expand and grow with the user.”

Evomada comes from the Greek work “Evo” meaning evolution and “omada” meaning team, according to Anderson. The concept behind Evomada is that agencies will have more power and functionality by working together than by each individual agency spending thousands of dollars trying to create and promote their mobile app with less useful features.

Most current agency mobile applications are simply an extension of an existing agency website that offers little long term practical applications for the user or the agency staff. Evomada's app differs from other products due to unique proprietary client retention features that allows agencies to partner with their existing clients, which can reduce or eliminate their mobile app support fees.

“Evomada was developed by insurance agents to give them an affordable mobile app that takes less time and expense to set up, promote and maintain than others currently on the market,” says Grant Hestor, chief technology officer for Evomada. “With all the useful features, it would be difficult for a single agency to replicate these features without spending tens of thousands of dollars in additional programming costs.”

Evomada future plans allow for continuing enhancements on future versions to include auto ID functionality, certificates, claims, personal lines rating, and document storage. Larger agencies can opt to have their own agency logo on the app for an additional programming charge.

User groups will also help enhance future releases of Evomada. These features will help transform the way independent agents communicate with their customers and companies in the future.

Evomada has also garnered interest from several carriers who are looking at innovative ways to interact with their agents via their smartphones or tablets. Company news or emergency bulletins could be pushed out to Evomada users immediately.

The app will be released to the iTunes store by early fall as a free download for all agency customers.
