AMS360 Virtual Assistant: Streamline Your Insurance Agency

I've watched insurance agents spend 30 hours a week wrestling with AMS360 data entry instead of closing sales. Fourteen years hiring offshore—since REMAX in 2012—and it's the same story: smart agents, drowning in admin. A skilled AMS360 virtual assistant fixes that. Your agent does what they're paid for. Your VA handles the paperwork. Simple.

What is an AMS360 Virtual Assistant?

An AMS360 VA is someone who knows the platform cold and can run your back-office. AMS360 is the agency management system most insurance shops use—client data, claims, policies, renewals, reports. If you're still wrestling that yourself, you're leaving money on the table. A good VA takes that off your hands.

Why the AMS360 Platform Matters

AMS360 isn't optional anymore. Insurance is consolidating, margins are tightening, and agents who don't automate lose. The platform does the heavy lifting if someone's actually managing it. That someone doesn't have to be you. A VA trained in AMS360 can cut your administrative overhead by a third and let you focus on the business that moves the needle—client relationships, cross-sells, retention.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities of an AMS360 Virtual Assistant

What does the VA actually do? It depends on your agency, but here's what most of our placements handle:

• Client Management: Keep client records current, handle basic inquiries, schedule appointments, ensure nothing falls through cracks.
• Policy Management: Process renewals, cancellations, and amendments. Make sure AMS360 reflects reality.
• Claims Assistance: Log claims, track status, keep clients and carriers in sync. Usually the thing agents hate most.
• Data Entry: Clean, accurate data in AMS360. Errors cost you compliance headaches and lost commission.
• Report Generation: Pull the numbers you actually need to see—client lifetime value, policy performance, revenue by book.
• Customer Support: First-pass on client emails and calls. Filter, resolve, escalate what needs you.

How to Hire an AMS360 Virtual Assistant

This is where most agencies mess up. They hire the first person who speaks English and says they know AMS360. Two weeks later, the data's in worse shape than when they started. Here's how to actually do it:

• Be Specific: Don't just say "help with admin." Tell them exactly what you need: claims entry, policy renewals, client onboarding. The better you brief them, the better the match.
• Check Their Track Record: Have they actually used AMS360? Have them show you. Ask for references from insurance agencies they've worked with. Call them.
• Test Communication: Insurance is detail-heavy. If the candidate can't explain what they've done clearly, they'll create problems faster than they'll solve them.
• Start Small: Hire them for 10 hours a week on a specific task. See how they work. If it's good, expand.

You can hire solo and cross your fingers, or you can work with ShoreAgents. We've placed 500+ VAs since 2019, all trained in AMS360 and properly vetted. We do the reference checks. We handle the onboarding. You get someone who actually works.

Cost Considerations

This is the bit everyone wants to know. Here's what it actually costs:

• Hourly Rates: Filipino VAs with insurance experience typically run $7–$12 an hour. Australian bookkeepers run $70+. You do the maths.
• Full-time vs. Part-time: Most agencies start with 15–20 hours a week. That's usually $700–$960 monthly for a decent VA. Scale up when the workload justifies it.
• No Hidden Fees: You pay hourly (or monthly if you want to), plus statutory stuff like 13th month pay and NBI clearance if they're employed in Clark. That's it.

A 20-hour-a-week VA costs you about $160 a week. If they save you 20 hours of your time, and you bill at even $100 an hour, you're making your money back week one. And that's conservative.

Why the Philippines and ShoreAgents?

I hire offshore because it works. Thirteen years at REMAX, then ShoreAgents since 2019 in Clark. Here's why Filipino VAs are the play for insurance:

• English is Native: Not second-language English. Actual fluency. Most of our candidates studied in English schools, worked in multilingual environments. No translation delays.
• Trained Workforce: Philippines has been exporting offshore talent for 20 years. There's a pipeline of people who understand insurance, AMS360, and Western business.
• Cost Realistic: You get experienced, educated professionals at rates that actually make financial sense. Not sweatshop wages, not US rates. Fair value.
• Cultural Fit: Filipinos understand service. They get that client-first mindset. And they're reliable—if you treat them right, they stick around.

ShoreAgents sits in Clark Freeport, where we run everything locally. No mystery platforms. No middleman markup. You get someone trained, vetted, and ready to go. We've had agencies add a second VA within 6 months because the first one's so productive it justifies the headcount.

Getting Started

If your agency's drowning in AMS360 admin, here's the simple fix: hire someone to handle it. That person doesn't live in your office. Doesn't have to be local. Just has to know AMS360 and understand insurance.

Head to our Get Started page and tell us what you need. Claims processing, client management, renewals, the lot—we've got trained VAs ready to go. Most agencies pair up with someone within a fortnight.
