How IVANS integration works

IVANS connects to insurance agency platforms through one of three technical patterns: (1) native data feed built into the platform; (2) certified partner-marketplace connector installed by admins; or (3) webhook/API integration built via the vendor's REST API and file/data exchange.

The choice of pattern determines the depth of data sync, reconciliation and record mapping available. Native feeds ship in weeks; marketplace connectors deploy in days; API builds require engineering.

Common setup steps
  1. Verify vendor integration depth (native / certified / marketplace)
  2. Install connector from the vendor's integration directory or marketplace
  3. Complete OAuth 2.0 handshake or API key exchange
  4. Map clients, policies and commission records to the platform schema
  5. Configure reconciliation and sync frequency for each data feed
  6. Test the sync with 5-10 real policies
  7. Roll out to production in a phased pilot

Limitations to verify before signing

IVANS carrier download is a one-way, carrier-to-agency feed: it updates the AMS with what the carrier has on file but is not a two-way editor that writes agency changes back to the carrier. On some management systems the connection is a paid add-on rather than a bundled feature — NowCerts, for example, lists IVANS downloads as an extra on its lower tiers — so the sticker price of an AMS does not always include downloads.

Frequently asked questions

IVANS moves policy data — new business, endorsements, renewals, cancellations — from carriers into the agency management system automatically, so staff do not re-key it from carrier portals.

Carrier download is primarily one-way, carrier to AMS. The AMS holds the authoritative record; IVANS keeps it current against carrier data.

AMS360, Applied Epic, HawkSoft, Newton and NowCerts all support IVANS carrier downloads in their documentation.

On some systems downloads are bundled; on others they are a paid add-on. NowCerts, for instance, lists IVANS downloads as an extra on lower tiers.

How we score depth. Native means the integration is built into the platform out of the box, with automated data sync. Certified means the vendor is in the IVANS partner certification program. Marketplace means an app/marketplace listing or webhooks-level connector. Sources: vendor integration directories, partner-marketplace catalogs and vendor product documentation as of June 2026. If a depth score looks wrong, tell us and we will verify.
