SLIP AMS

What is SLIP AMS?

SLIP AMS allows an authorized broker to electronically submit their policy information to The Surplus Line Association of California (the SLA) by generating a batch file from their internal Agency Management System (AMS) and submitting it using web services provided by SLIP.

What are the benefits?

Efficient, automated filing directly from your AMS to the SLA.
The most accurate way to file, with a low average tag rate of 3%.
Check the status of your submitted transactions directly in your AMS.
Available support from the SLA IT team.

What is different about the new SLIP AMS?

In October of 2021, the SLA launched a new version of the SLIP AMS. Here are some benefits of the new SLIP AMS:

This new API uses up-to-date technologies, patterns, and practices (such as REST, JSON, and JWT) that will make it exceedingly easy to work with regardless of your existing environment.
New functionality, including the ability request the statuses of individual transactions within a submission.
Lightweight, simple, and clear documentation, including a new sample client utility that is easy to use and test with.
Easier integration made possible by leveraging a wider variety of standard tools and libraries available for any platform and language.

The SLA intends to sunset the legacy XML-based SLIP AMS, but will not do so until a transition plan is built for the current consuming brokerages.

If you have any questions, are interested in working with us to test this new API, or want to understand how you might be able to use it in the future, please contact us at support@slacal.com.
