Document search, collaboration and Microsoft 365 for insurance brokers

Every word, findable. Every file, workable. Right inside Microsoft 365.

Intelligence inside every document. Open, edit, sign and share inside Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint with Microsoft 365 integration. JAVLN Officetech turns the document library into a live collaboration surface.

Why search, collaboration and Microsoft 365 matter for brokers

Brokers handle thousands of documents across hundreds of clients, with 87% of broker client files flowing through Outlook and Office applications.

The question is: where exactly is the policy wording that decides this case?

JAVLN Officetech answers that question in seconds, then keeps the team working on the same file at the same time, inside the apps they already use.

How search and collaboration work in JAVLN Officetech

  • Full text search across every document. Search through document body text, email subjects, comments and metadata using simple keywords, not just file names. Filter by file type, date range, author, cabinet location and saved preferences.
  • Unified search interface. One search bar scans across policy documents, client correspondence, renewal notices, tasks and email threads simultaneously, with cached results for instant re-running.
  • Intelligent client lookup. Find client details instantly using any part of their name or ID, across every client record field.
  • Edit in place. Open Word, Excel, PowerPoint or PDF documents and work on them inside Officetech. One file. One version. One source of truth.
  • Check-in and check-out. Managed document checkout locks a file while you work on it. Colleagues see who has it. Everyone works on the right version.
  • Built-in PDF tools. Annotate, split, merge and fill PDFs inside Officetech without needing a separate PDF editor.
  • Share and collaborate. Invite colleagues, underwriters or clients to view or co-edit specific files. Permissions are precise. Every access event, edit, share and download is logged.
