Overview

CaptaIMS is a cloud-based Insurance Management Software platform built by Interactive Ideas, Inc. that provides an affordable Agency Management System (AMS) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) for independent and semi-captive insurance agents and brokers. The name "CaptaIMS" combines "Capta," a Spanish/Latin word meaning to "capture," with "IMS" for Insurance Management Software, reflecting the platform's mission to help agencies capture and manage their insurance data simply and affordably.

Built on the Captasoft framework, which Interactive Ideas has developed over more than 15 years, CaptaIMS offers a modular approach to insurance management. Agencies can select from multiple lines of business including Personal, Commercial, Marine, Life & Health, and Specialty insurance, paying only for the verticals they need. Starting at $30 per user per month, CaptaIMS positions itself as a cost-effective alternative to larger, more complex agency management systems.

The platform includes built-in features such as CRM, policy renewal notifications, e-signature capability, an integrated phone system with VoIP, and a customer portal. CaptaIMS emphasizes data privacy and security, with PCI compliance, database encryption, and daily backups. The company maintains that client data belongs solely to the agency and will never be sold, shared, or accessed by CaptaIMS staff.
