Payment calculation is determined on the entire client base, or on scheme, or product or policy level for special circumstances or exceptions.
By default 20 address areas are setup, yet can be changed as required. Various additonal criteria like sum insured, group, gender, age, marital status, type of vehicle, claims experience, etc. are available as well. PROFIDA® supports also your own referral limits.
Premium Increase

Filtering by product, sections, group scheme, broker, date ranges, payment frequencies and other variables allow a fine tuning of policies affected by the premium increase.
A full history of all increases is kept within PROFIDA.
Amendments and Endorsements
Policies can be amended mid-term. PROFIDA® automatically calculates pro-rata premiums in the event of new business, amended or expired cover. Endorsements are centrally stored and conveniently selected from a list.
Policy Schedule
The policy schedule designer enables the production of schedules specific to each product and scheme displaying logos and signatures. Schedules are issued in Afrikaans and/or English.
You have the option to have the amendments automatically printed on the newly issued schedule. Full history is always kept in respect of any endorsements and amendments.
Policy schedules and related correspondence (welcome letter, statutory notice) can be triggered to be automatically printed or emailed based on events like 'new business captured'.

The Claims Administration Facility is seamlessly integrated with the Workflow and Document Management Functionality. Claims statistics can be generated with a wide set of group and filter options.
Workflow and Diary Management
Interactions, notes and tasks are kept on the client, policy, or claim records. Tasks are automatically assigned to the current user, and can be re-assigned to another staff-member. Tasks can be prioritised according to business processes and claims activity parameters.
Tasks can be triggered to be automatically created based on events like 'new claim' (--> send out claim form) or 'change quotation status to accepted' (--> print/email: policy schedule)
Correspondence can be triggered to be automatically printed or emailed based on events like 'new business captured' (--> print/email: welcome letter) or 'policy cancelled' (--> print/email: confirmation letter)
Emails, including attachments, can be sent from and received within PROFIDA, making it the only financial software package worldwide with the ability to act as an email program. This keeps the correspondence with clients and insurers all in one place.
Client service level reports, in the form of tasks, to-do lists and calendars, are available to any user - allowing you to maximize your client service levels.
Document Management
Any supporting documentation (scanned or created) is linked to the client, policy or claim record, and is available to the user on-line, real-time. Attached documents are automatically included in the backup of PROFIDA®.
