We're launching this blog to help ABS users discover and master features that can dramatically improve agency efficiency. Through tech support and training sessions, we've learned that many agencies use only a fraction of ABS capabilities - often because they don't know certain features exist or haven't had guidance on how to use them effectively.
Why This Blog Matters
User expectations have evolved significantly since ABS began in 1994. Software distribution has moved from diskettes and CDs to internet downloads. Printed manuals have given way to online resources and quick web searches for answers.
Despite these changes, many users still rely on familiar routines and overlook powerful features that could streamline their operations. This blog bridges that gap by highlighting overlooked capabilities and providing practical guidance for implementation.
What You'll Find Here
Our content focuses exclusively on ABS Agency Builder features and capabilities that can improve your agency's efficiency. Topics are prioritized based on:
- Frequently overlooked features identified through support calls
- High-impact capabilities that significantly improve workflow

We will cover:
- Hidden or underutilized ABS features
