Our Vision:
To significantly increase profits and efficiency in the insurance and finance industry through the use
of technology.
|
Harry Snyder started FinancePro in 1998 with the initial goal
of developing the premier software system for running an insurance premium finance company.
Initially, the plan was to create
a Windows-based management system for premium finance companies.
But after looking at the available products in 1998, Harry decided to
leap frog the competition and take full advantage of the efficiencies of the Internet
by developing a complete web-based system from the ground up.
FinancePro has succeeded in its initial goal and currently has the only product to manage
a premium finance company that runs exclusively on and takes full advantage of the Internet.
We have the most efficient and cost effective system available
today to run a premium finance company. Finance companies, agents, general agents, auditors,
and lenders all praise our easy to use system.
We have in depth knowledge of the Insurance and
Premium Finance Industry. Our team not
only knows how to write excellent software, but we also have extensive
insurance experience at the agency and premium finance level.
We have in depth technical knowledge of Internet software for
insurance and other industries. Our team of professional developers have worked on some of the most
popular and technically complex Internet sites including ESPN.com,
ABCNews.com, MSN.com, and AccountingNet.com.
We continuously strive to make our software more efficient, feature rich,
and easy to use in order to improve the profitability of premium finance companies.
We provide complete support and technical and business consulting services
for your premium finance company. We host the web-based software for
you at our location, so you don't have to deal with web servers, database servers, maintenance,
backups, and security.
We encourage potential customers to look at our competition and talk to their customers
and ex-customers before trying out our software.
