Openwork to launch protection app

The app was developed in conjunction with Assuredweb and was unveiled today at the 2012 Openwork National Conference in Birmingham.

It will allow advisers to access quotes from Openwork’s panel of protection providers, Openwork Select or from its single-tie proposition Zurich Plus.

The app will be available to iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad users.

Paul Shearman, mortgage, protection and general insurance proposition director, said: “Tablet use has been rising across the network and the app will significantly enhance the accessibility of protection quotes for our advisers as part of our on-going ‘ease of doing business’ initiative.”
