NextAgency or NextCommission — Which Is Right For Your Agency?

NextAgency is our comprehensive agency management system for agencies selling benefits, senior, and life policies. It delivers customer relationship management, marketing, and business analytics tools. NextAgency features automated workflows, personalized timelines, and seamlessly integrates with various software platforms. Its reports cover cases, policies, tasks, and more. 

NextCommission is our commission tracking and sub-agent management tool which enables these agencies to get what they’ve earned and better understand their commissions. NextCommission enables agencies to easily upload commission statements, track compensation (commissions, overrides, fees and bonuses), manage sub-agents and generate their commission statements.

NextCommission comes as a fully-integrated add-on to NextAgency or as a standalone platform: NextCommission Solo. NextAgency with the NextCommission add-on is for agencies wanting a single package. NextCommission Solo enables agencies who want the benefits of this commission management tool, but are using another agency management system for their agency.

“I’ve spoken to 20+ commission automation companies. None comes close for clear, transparent communication and willingness to work with you. If you’re an insurance principal or an owner who either acquired an agency or is looking to improve their commission practices, this is wonderful.”
