IVANS Download

IVANS Download is a data exchange network that allows insurance agencies to download policy and commission data directly into their agency management systems.

SFM offers downloads of:

  • Policy information
  • Commission data
  • Claims data
  • eDocs*

*Please note: If you receive downloads of eDocs, you will no longer receive documents via SFM Agency Manager (SAM). Downloading eDocs is an add-on feature in some agency management systems. You may need to check to make sure you have this capability before registering for eDocs downloads.

How do I configure my agency management system to receive downloads from SFM?

You will need to enter the following information in your agency management system:

  • SFM’s NAIC codes:
    • 11347 – SFM Mutual Insurance Company
    • 27049 – SFM Select Insurance Company
    • 15702 – SFM Safe Insurance Company
  • Line of Business: Commercial Workers Comp

If you need help with configuration, contact your agency management system vendor or IVANS Connections at connections@ivansinsurance.com.
