McGowan Excess & Casualty, known for disciplined risk selection and responsive service to its broker partners, has selected FurtherAI to power the next phase of its underwriting operations.

McGowan Excess & Casualty is now putting FurtherAI's agentic workspace to work on the part of the job that slows everyone down: getting a submission from inbox to quote. The goal is to give underwriters back the hours they spend on data entry so they can spend more of the day on what actually moves a deal — risk analysis and pricing.

Smarter triage at the point of clearance

With FurtherAI's agentic workspace, McGowan is automating submission intake and triage — extracting data from ACORD forms, loss runs, statements of value (SOVs), and supplemental applications directly into its rating workbooks. 

By compressing the time between submission and quote, underwriters can focus on risk analysis and pricing decisions rather than data entry, helping McGowan respond faster to brokers without compromising underwriting discipline.

The platform also ingests and applies carrier guidelines at the point of clearance, surfacing appetite fit, underlying limit adequacy, and missing information earlier in the workflow. Submissions that move forward are cleaner, and declinations happen sooner.

"FurtherAI has been a great tool. It allowed us to map our current process and autofill our workbooks, process various carrier guidelines, and really get through a ton of information and uncover additional information that you need to underwrite." — Steve Wentz, McGowan Excess & Casualty
