# Feature overview

> A guided tour of what Insurance Advisor does, grouped by the three types of user: admin, advisor, and customer.

Insurance Advisor covers the whole life of an insurance relationship, from the first
phone call to a settled claim, and it presents each part of that work to the right
person. This page walks you through what the product does, grouped by who does it, so
you can see where your day-to-day work fits.

  Want the one-glance summary instead? The [Datasheet](./datasheet) gathers the
  whole product onto a single scannable page.
</Info>

Everything is organized around clear record types (leads, customers, products,
applications, policies, payments, commissions, claims, and more). The system does the
routine calculation for you: it scores leads, works out premiums and maturity values,
builds premium schedules, raises invoices, books commissions, and flags policies that
are due for renewal or at risk of lapsing.

## What each user type does

As a policyholder you have a portal built just for you, and you only ever see your own
records.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Policies and documents" icon="shield-halved">
    View every policy and download its statement, plus a portfolio summary of all your
    cover. See [Customer self-service](./customer-self-service).

    Download a PDF receipt for every premium you have paid, with its GST breakup.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Nominees" icon="user-plus">
    Review who is nominated on each policy and request a change (shares must total
    100%).
  </Card>

  <Card title="KYC" icon="id-card">
    Submit or update your KYC with your PAN and the last four digits of your Aadhaar.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Service and feedback" icon="headset">
    Raise a service request and send a compliment, complaint, or suggestion.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Your advisor" icon="user-tie">

  </Card>

  <Card title="WhatsApp updates" icon="comment">
    Opt in to get messages when a policy is issued, a payment is received, a service
    request moves, or a premium falls due. Nothing is sent without your consent.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Your agency can also print formal copies of your documents on letterhead, such as a
**Policy Certificate** or a **Premium Receipt**, and share them with you.

## How the pieces connect

<Steps>
  <Step title="A lead becomes a client">
    An advisor captures and qualifies a lead. When the client agrees on a call, an
    admin converts the lead into a customer with a portal login and assigns an advisor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A client becomes a policyholder">
    The advisor runs a Need Analysis and Sales Illustration, then files an
    E-Application. On approval the application becomes a policy with a premium schedule
    and nominees.
  </Step>

  <Step title="A policy generates payments and commission">
    Each premium payment raises an invoice and books the advisor's commission (first
    year on the first payment, renewal thereafter).
  </Step>

  <Step title="The customer self-serves">
    The policyholder logs in to view policies, download documents, manage nominees,
    complete KYC, and raise requests.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Compliance guardrails run throughout: nominee shares must add up to 100%, a minor
  nominee needs an appointee, only the last four digits of a client's Aadhaar are ever
  stored, and an application needs the client's consent before it can be submitted.
</Info>

## Best practices

* **Know your lane.** Advisors work their own book; admins own conversion, the catalog,
  approvals, and settings. If an action is missing for you, it is likely reserved for
  the other role.
* **Follow the flow.** Each stage feeds the next, so working in order (lead, analysis,
  application, policy, payment) keeps every downstream record accurate.
* **Lean on the automation.** Scores, schedules, invoices, and commissions are
  calculated for you. Trust them, and act on the alerts the system raises.
