Recognizing this need, Bold Penguin has partnered with HawkSoft to create solutions tailored specifically for their needs. This collaboration is designed to improve efficiency and enhance the quoting process.
Innovative Integration of Platforms

This combination facilitates a seamless quoting experience, where agents can attempt multiple product quotes with different carriers all at once. By drastically reducing manual data entry, agents can focus more on providing their clients with the best coverage options rather than getting bogged down with administrative tasks.

Jim Struntz, the COO of Bold Penguin, highlights the firm's commitment to making life easier for insurance professionals: "Bold Penguin was founded by insurance agents, for insurance agents, so we have a deep appreciation for how complex the commercial quote and bind process can be. Partnering with HawkSoft represents an exciting step in removing a few of the hurdles our mutual agency partners face as they serve small business owners across their communities." This sentiment encapsulates the purpose of this collaboration — to enhance the experience of agents and their clients.
Shared Values and Mission
HawkSoft’s CMO, Rushang Shah, shares a similar vision, stating, "We share an origin story with Bold Penguin – HawkSoft was co-founded by an insurance agent and we've always placed the voice of the independent agent at the center of our conversations around innovation." This understanding is crucial for developing tools that truly meet the needs of agents working in today's fast-paced market.
