Shelter Insurance

Empowering Agents with Smarter Knowledge

Shelter Insurance, a trusted name in insurance and financial services, set out to modernize their contact center by providing faster, more consistent, and more confident support to customers.

With customer service representatives (CSRs) operating across multiple bands and brands, it became essential to standardize knowledge and make it easily accessible.

Shelter turned to Polly.Help to unify their internal knowledge, reduce training time, and empower CSRs with smarter, guided answers.
