Onboarding & NPN

Agent onboarding and NPN matching, done in minutes

Import a whole roster from CSV, invite agents with a magic link they can accept in one click, and match every carrier production row to the correct National Producer Number, with a clear triage queue for anything that doesn’t line up.

Onboarding is the first thing an agent judges an agency by, and the last thing an operations team wants to do by hand. A roster of new producers means dozens of records to key in and invitations to chase. The part that trips everyone up is making sure each agent’s carrier production actually attaches to the right person.

AgencyGrid compresses that into two moves: bring the roster in, and let agents onboard themselves. Behind the scenes, the identifier that ties it all together is the NPN, the National Producer Number, which AgencyGrid uses to bind carrier statements to the correct agent from the very first file.

Onboard a whole roster in two steps

Instead of creating agents one at a time, you import the roster as a CSV: names, NPNs, contact details, and where each agent sits in your agency hierarchy. AgencyGrid creates the records and places each producer under their manager, the first step of downline management, in a single pass.

From there, onboarding is self-serve. Each agent receives a magic-link invitation, with no password to set and no credentials to reset later, and clicking it drops them straight into their own dashboard, already placed in the org and ready to see their production.

  • CSV roster import for names, NPNs, and hierarchy placement
  • Magic-link invitations agents accept in one click
  • New agents land in their branch, ready to produce

Match production to the right NPN

The National Producer Number is the one identifier that follows an agent across every carrier, which makes it the anchor for attribution. When a carrier statement loads, AgencyGrid matches each commission and policy row to an agent by NPN, so production credit, overrides, and reporting all attach to the right person automatically.

Because matching is keyed on the NPN rather than a name a carrier might spell three different ways, attribution holds up across carriers and over time as agents write with new companies.

Triage for rows that don’t match

Real carrier files are messy: a missing NPN, a typo, a producer who was appointed before their record existed in the agency. Rather than silently dropping those rows or guessing, AgencyGrid routes every unmatched row into a triage queue where an operator can resolve it.

From triage, you can map a row to the correct agent, create the missing producer, or hold it until the roster catches up. Once resolved, the fix applies so the same carrier row matches cleanly the next time it appears.

  • Unmatched rows queued, never silently dropped
  • Map to an existing agent or create the missing one
  • Resolutions stick so future files match cleanly

FAQ

Common questions

How fast can I onboard a group of agents?

You can import an entire roster from a CSV in one pass, covering names, NPNs, contact details, and hierarchy placement, then invite everyone with a magic link they accept in a single click. There is no per-agent data entry or password setup.

What is an NPN and why does AgencyGrid match on it?

The NPN, or National Producer Number, is the unique identifier assigned to a licensed producer that stays with them across every carrier. AgencyGrid matches commission and policy rows to agents by NPN because it is far more reliable than a name a carrier might spell inconsistently.

What happens when a carrier row doesn’t match any agent?

It goes into a triage queue instead of being dropped or guessed. An operator can map the row to the correct agent, create a missing producer, or hold it until the roster is updated. The resolution is remembered so the same row matches automatically next time.

Do agents need to create passwords to log in?

No. Onboarding uses magic-link sign-in, so an agent clicks the invitation and lands directly in their dashboard. There are no passwords to set during onboarding or reset afterward.
