Custom Software for Insurance Agencies and RIAs in Kansas

Custom Software, Automation, and AI for Insurance and Financial Firms

Built for independent agency principals, RIA founders, financial advisors, and broker-dealer ops leaders tired of Salesforce orgs they can't customize, AMS systems that don't fit, and Tamarac dashboards stuck in default mode.

Preisser Tech is a Hays, Kansas custom software firm founded by Tyler Preisser that is positioned to serve independent insurance agencies, RIAs (registered investment advisors), financial advisors, and broker-dealers across Kansas. The firm builds custom CRMs, branded client portals, KPI dashboards, and marketing automation that integrate with AMS360, Applied Epic, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Tamarac — without forcing the migration to a generic platform. Tyler's cross-industry execution — proven through HG Oil Holdings (75% AI invoicing time reduction) and Cassidy HVAC (60%+ reactivation, 5x organic reach) — translates directly to renewals automation, AOR transitions, and household-level client experience for financial firms.

What we build for insurance and financial firms

Software for principals who outgrew the default Salesforce org

Most independent insurance agencies in Kansas run AMS360 or Applied Epic with a layer of HubSpot or a half-implemented Salesforce org for marketing. RIAs run Salesforce Financial Services Cloud or Wealthbox, plus Tamarac, Orion, or Black Diamond for portfolio reporting, plus a separate client portal that nobody uses. The seams are where retention leaks — renewal reminders missed, AOR transitions handled by hand, household-level reporting impossible without a custom export.

Preisser Tech builds the custom layer that connects those tools — branded client portals, custom CRMs for the way your agency actually books business, dashboards that show the principal what's actually happening, and marketing automation that respects compliance.

We're not a Salesforce implementation partner. We're a custom software firm that integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, AMS360, Applied Epic, and Tamarac when that's the right answer — and builds custom when it isn't.

Why principals call us

The real pain points in independent agencies and RIAs

Across the agencies and RIAs we talk to, the same problems show up:

  • Renewals being managed in spreadsheets because AMS360 reminders don't fit the agency's workflow
  • AOR (Agent of Record) transitions handled by email — slow, error-prone, and bad client experience
  • Client portals that nobody logs into because they're generic vendor portals with no branding
  • Producers wasting time on quote follow-up that should be automated
  • Marketing automation either non-existent or running through HubSpot in a way the compliance officer doesn't trust
  • RIA principals with no live view of net new assets, household growth, or advisor production
  • Tamarac, Orion, or Black Diamond reports being exported and re-formatted by an associate every quarter
  • Onboarding paperwork — binders, applications, IPS, ADV delivery — still printed, signed, and scanned
Five services applied to insurance and financial firms

How each Preisser Tech service shows up in your firm

Every engagement is some mix of these five capabilities. Compliance-aware design is built in from scoping — no marketing automation goes live without your CCO's review.

Custom Agency and RIA Websites

Premium custom websites for independent agencies, RIAs, and broker-dealer affiliated advisors — credibility-grade design, fast performance, AI-search-optimized content, integrated quote forms or scheduling, ADV/CRS document delivery, and clean compliance footers and disclosures.

Custom Web Apps and Client Portals

Branded client portals that go beyond what Tamarac, Orion, or AMS360 ship by default — household-level views, document vaults, secure messaging, e-signature, scheduled reviews, and producer-side admin tools. Built on top of your existing book of record so your CRM remains the source of truth.

Insurance and Financial Business Automation

Renewal reminder automation, AOR transition workflows, quote follow-up sequences, lost-client win-back, household-level review scheduling, document generation (proposals, IPS, fact-finder packets), and AI-assisted onboarding. The Cassidy HVAC reactivation engine (60%+ reactivation) is a direct analog to lost-client and lapsed-policy reactivation.

AI Agents for Insurance and RIA Admin

Custom AI agents that read policy documents, summarize coverage for clients, draft renewal communications, extract data from carrier declarations pages, prep meeting notes, and handle FAQ-level client inquiries — always with human-in-the-loop escalation and compliance-aware scope boundaries.

Principal and Advisor Dashboards

Real-time dashboards for principals — net new assets (RIAs), household growth, advisor production, premium written by line and carrier (agencies), retention rate, AOR pipeline, marketing source ROI, and compliance task aging. Pulled live from Salesforce, AMS360, Tamarac, or whichever systems are the books of record.

Why we are positioned to serve insurance and financial firms

Cross-industry capability and a regional advantage

Preisser Tech does not yet have a named insurance or RIA case study to publish. We're transparent about that. What we have is repeatable cross-industry execution and a regional advantage.

The technical patterns we deployed at Cassidy HVAC (5x organic reach, 60%+ customer reactivation) and HG Oil Holdings (95% inventory time reduction, 75% invoicing time reduction) translate directly to insurance and financial firms — AI document extraction works on dec pages and carrier statements just as well as oilfield invoices, and the reactivation engine that won back dormant HVAC customers maps directly to lost-client and lapsed-policy win-back for agencies and advisors.

Tyler is based in Hays, Kansas — close to a strong concentration of independent insurance agencies and regional financial advisors across the Great Plains — and brings the same playbook: small first scope, measurable ROI, then expand. Compliance is treated as a hard constraint from day one, not a checkbox at the end.

Why a Kansas firm

Why principals hire Preisser Tech over a coastal consultancy

National wealthtech and insurtech consultancies sell enterprise platforms designed for billion-dollar RIAs and top-100 brokerages. Their pricing, timelines, and assumptions don't fit a 5-advisor RIA in Wichita or a 12-producer independent agency in Hays. The result is over-paying for under-fit software, or running on Excel and prayer.

Preisser Tech is run by Tyler Preisser personally, with engagements sized for independent agencies, regional RIAs, and broker-dealer affiliated advisors across Kansas and the Great Plains. Tyler codes every project himself — there's no implementation team, no offshore handoff, and no five-year platform contract. Compliance constraints are built in from scoping, and engagements move at the pace your CCO can review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you understand insurance and financial compliance?

Yes — at the level required to scope and build with appropriate constraints. We design with SEC, FINRA, and state DOI considerations baked in. We don't act as your compliance officer, but we work directly with your CCO from scoping forward. Marketing automation, client communication templates, and AI-generated content always go through compliance review before launch.

Can you integrate with AMS360 or Applied Epic?

Yes, against their published APIs and vendor-supported integration channels. We can pull policy, customer, renewal, and producer data, and push back tasks, notes, and client interactions. Same pattern for EZLynx, NowCerts, and HawkSoft. We don't reverse-engineer AMS data flows — we work through vendor-approved integration interfaces.

Can you build custom client portals for an RIA?

Yes — this is one of the most common asks from RIA founders. Generic Tamarac, Orion, or Black Diamond portals get used by 10-30% of clients on average. A branded, custom-built portal layered on top of those data feeds typically lifts engagement significantly. We integrate with the portfolio system as the book of record and build the experience clients actually want.

Do you have an insurance or RIA case study?

Not yet — we're transparent about that. Our named work is in HVAC (Cassidy HVAC: 5x reach, 60%+ reactivation) and oil and gas (HG Oil Holdings: 95% inventory time reduction, 75% invoicing time reduction). The same technical patterns — AI document extraction, reactivation automation, custom dashboards — translate directly to renewals, AOR transitions, and household-level client experience.

What does an insurance or RIA software project cost?

Focused builds (a custom client portal, a renewals automation, a principal dashboard) typically run in the low to mid five figures. Multi-system builds with deep custodian or carrier integration scope from there. We always provide a fixed-price proposal after a free discovery call that includes your CCO if appropriate.

How long does an insurance or RIA project take?

Most focused projects deliver in 6-12 weeks. Compliance review and vendor API approvals can extend timelines slightly. Larger multi-system builds (custom CRM + portal + dashboard + automation) typically run 12-20 weeks. We move faster than national consultancies because Tyler codes the work directly.

Can AI safely handle financial and insurance workflows?

For administrative and document-heavy workflows — yes, with compliance-aware guardrails. AI is well-suited to declarations page extraction, policy summarization, meeting note prep, FAQ answering, and renewal correspondence drafting. We do not build AI that gives investment advice or makes coverage recommendations, and human-in-the-loop review is standard on anything client-facing.

Will my producers and advisors have to learn a new system?

Generally no. We build around the systems your team already uses. Producers and advisors stay in AMS360, Salesforce, Tamarac, or wherever they work today. Custom front-ends are introduced only where there's a clear ROI and team buy-in.

Can you integrate with Salesforce or HubSpot?

Yes — both deeply. Salesforce (including Financial Services Cloud) and HubSpot are well-documented platforms with mature APIs. We build custom flows, custom objects, and external integrations against them every project. If your firm has a Salesforce org that's underused, we often start by making the existing investment finally work before adding anything new.

Do you serve agencies and RIAs outside Kansas?

Yes. We're based in Hays, Kansas and concentrate on Kansas and the Great Plains, but regularly take on remote engagements with independent agencies, RIAs, and broker-dealer affiliated advisors across the United States. All work runs directly with Tyler Preisser via video calls and shared project tools.
