Understanding the difference between Agency Production and Carrier Production is important when reviewing data in ProfitLens. While both provide valuable insights, they come from different sources and should not be expected to match.

Agency Production

Agency Production data is sourced from each agency's management system and reflects the business activity recorded by the agency. This data provides CAA with visibility into an agency's operations and overall performance.

Agency Production reports may include information such as:

• New policies issued
• Premiums collected
• Claims processed
• Sales growth
• Cross-selling activity
• Other agency performance metrics

The accuracy of Agency Production data depends heavily on each agency's data entry practices. Agencies must consistently maintain policy, premium, and claims information within their management systems to ensure reporting is accurate and meaningful.

Carrier Production (CPR)

Carrier Production data is sourced directly from the insurance carrier and serves as the carrier's official record of production activity.

Carrier Production Reports (CPR) include detailed information such as:

• Policies issued
• Premiums written and collected
• Claims processed
• Losses incurred
• Carrier-specific production metrics

This data helps carriers evaluate business performance, monitor trends, and make underwriting, pricing, and risk management decisions.

Why the Numbers May Differ

Agency Production and Carrier Production are collected from separate systems and serve different purposes. Variances between the two are expected.

While Carrier Production reflects the carrier's official production figures, Agency Production reflects the information entered and maintained by the agency. Differences in timing, reporting methods, policy coding, and data entry practices can all contribute to discrepancies between the two data sources.

As the industry saying goes: "junk in, junk out." Inaccurate or incomplete agency data will result in inaccurate reporting and reduced visibility into agency performance.

Key Takeaway: Agency Production provides insight into an agency's operations based on data maintained within the agency management system, while Carrier Production reflects the carrier's official production record. Because these datasets come from different sources and serve different purposes, the totals should not be expected to match.
