Tradecraft by CIA Software is one cloud-native system that runs quoting, policies, premium financing, payments, and real double-entry accounting. Built to replace the slow, dated desktop software your agency has been hostage to for fifteen years.
Built to replace
Live product, dark mode, no mockups. Names and figures shown are fictional sample data.
Legacy AMS platforms were built for a desktop era. Agencies pay for the privilege of slow screens, separate accounting, and a premium-finance tool duct-taped to the side. Sound familiar?
Citrix sessions, install CDs, single-machine lock-ins, and an interface that hasn't been touched since flip phones. Your staff fight the tool instead of using it.
Your AMS doesn't finance. So you bolt on a standalone tool, re-key down payments, and reconcile two systems by hand. Every. Single. Month.
Most "agency software" can't keep a balanced ledger. AR, commissions, and carrier statements get exported to a spreadsheet and prayer.
CIA Software was rebuilt from the ground up on the same cloud edge that powers the fastest apps on the internet. Every dollar of money math is server-side, deterministic, and proven against a real general ledger.
Down payments, finance contracts, payment schedules, and finance-charge math live inside the order, not in a separate vendor's portal. Quote it, finance it, collect it, and post it in one flow. No re-keying, no second login, no monthly reconciliation circus.
A true general ledger with AR/AP, receipts, commissions, deposits, and carrier-statement reconciliation. Every financial action posts a balanced journal entry, verified to the cent, or it doesn't post at all.
No installs, no Citrix, no "the server's down." Sub-second screens from anywhere, real multi-user concurrency, and a keyboard-first cockpit your staff can actually fly through a 40-order day on.
Coverage letters, finance contracts, and renewal notices, generated as clean PDFs in any language, driven off the insured's language preference. Compliance paperwork, handled.
Agencies writing non-standard and personal auto live or die on premium financing. Everywhere else, that means a second vendor: even the biggest incumbents admit agents had to "leave their agency management system, rekey data into a separate portal, and then return." Tradecraft treats financing as a first-class citizen, the engine computes the schedule the moment you build the order, posts the down payment and financed principal straight to the GL, and tracks every installment against the contract.
This is GL-backed financial software for a regulated business, not a CRM with a payments tab. The posting engine encodes your chart of accounts as declarative rules, wraps every money movement in a transaction, and refuses to post anything that leaves the ledger out of balance.
155 legacy screens, consolidated into a fast, keyboard-first interface. Here's the operational picture.
Every insured in one view, drivers, vehicles, policies, payments, AR ledger, documents, and a running diary.
Multi-driver, multi-vehicle order entry with live premium totals and a built-in VIN decoder.
Issuance, transactions, and the full policy lifecycle for personal and non-standard auto.
Mid-term changes staged, validated, and posted as clean premium and finance deltas.
Automated renewal worklists with offer generation, dispositions, and multilingual notices.
Take a payment in seconds; FIFO application to AR and a posted receipt every time.
Native finance contracts, schedules, and finance-charge math, no third-party tool.
Double-entry GL, trial balance, repost/validate tools, and period close.
AR/AP and carrier-statement reconciliation for Agency Bill and Direct Bill.
Commission tracking by carrier, basis, and producer, tied to the ledger.
Coverage letters, finance contracts & renewal notices, any language, as PDFs.
Six clearance levels, row-level agency/branch scoping, and an audit stamp on every change.
