DarkHorse AMS is the insurance agency management system built by working agency owners, inside a live agency, to run an agency — clients & policies, a comparative rater, commissions, COIs, a client portal and more. Deployed on your own server, branded as your agency, and run for you.
Most agency software is designed by people who’ve never written a policy, chased a certificate, or reconciled a commission statement. DarkHorse AMS is the opposite.
It’s the system behind a real, working independent agency. Every screen gets used by producers and service staff before it ever reaches you.
Nothing here exists because a product manager wanted a checkbox. It exists because an agency hit a wall and needed it fixed.
Questions, requests and demos go to someone who knows what a bad renewal week looks like — not a sales rep reading a script.
The big-vendor AMS wasn’t built for you. This one was.
Every screen on this page is a real screenshot of DarkHorse AMS running — nothing staged.

No duct-taping five subscriptions together. It's all one system — and it's all yours.
Quote personal auto & home across your carriers in one shot, premiums side by side.
Clients, policies, documents, leads and pipeline — the whole book in one searchable place.
Statements parsed automatically, splits calculated, a producer report that always ties out.
Issue ACORD 25 certificates in seconds — or let clients self-issue from their portal.
IVANS and nightly document harvest file dec pages straight onto the right client.
Your customers log in to view policies, grab ID cards, and request certificates themselves.
A full email client built in, in your agency's colors — desktop and mobile.
Birthday & holiday touches, renewal check-backs and thank-yous, sent for you.
Import a quote from a photo, look up a business, parse a document — built in.
Before renewal, clients tell you what changed from one link. The policy is re-quoted and waiting in their file before you call.
Send any document out to sign, with as many signature boxes as it needs. The signed PDF files itself on the client.
A fill-and-save ACORD library (125, 126, 130, 140 and more) pre-filled from the client record.
Request loss runs with a letter your client e-signs, and see claims from your carrier downloads on each client.
Automatic email follow-up for new leads, quoted leads and renewals, written in your own words.
A team channel, direct messages and to-do lists for every agent, inside the same system.
See the sender's client file next to the email, save messages and attachments to any client in one click, and turn new senders into leads.
Nightly, your install signs into your carrier portals, matches their book to yours, updates statuses and terms, and adds the policies you were missing.
Email a branded quote with a bind link. The client e-signs and leaves payment details, and everything files itself on their record.
Push leads, clients and documents in from any tool, or let Claude do it through our MCP extension. Included, no extra fee.
Producer production, carrier premium against the goals you set, renewal check-backs and a health view of every carrier connection — all from the same data.
Mark a client as Spanish-speaking and their emails and quote forms go out in Spanish, with the same agency branding.
Every install includes an API key and a Claude Desktop (MCP) extension at no extra charge. Connect the tools you already use — most of it without a developer.
Point your contact or quote form at your AMS — directly, or through Zapier, Make or n8n — and every submission lands in New Leads with its source, ready to assign and work.
Install the DarkHorse AMS extension in Claude Desktop and say "send these to DarkHorse as leads", or move a whole book over from HawkSoft with its policies, notes and dec pages.
Three plain HTTPS endpoints — leads, clients and documents — behind a send-only key that can't read your data. Re-sending is safe: nothing is duplicated.
You focus on the agency. We handle the software.
A short setup form — your brand, your carriers, your logo. We even move your existing book over.
On your own server, branded as your agency, with your quoter and integrations wired in. You get logins.
One monthly fee, everything included, updates pushed automatically, real support behind it.
Every DarkHorse AMS install ships with the full core platform. A few power features are optional add-ons — no surprise line items.
Most of this industry hides its price behind a sales call. We don't — it's right here, and it's not going to change once you're on the phone with us.
Flat. Everything in "What's included," standard.
Doesn't include your own Quotamation API contract, or — if you turn on the commercial rater — your Bold Penguin appointment. Those are between you and them.

DarkHorse AMS is an insurance agency management system (AMS) for independent agencies. It includes the insurance CRM, a comparative rater, commission tracking, COI generation, carrier downloads and a client portal — deployed on your own server and branded as your agency.
It's an AMS. It includes everything an insurance CRM does — clients, pipeline, tasks, email, retention — plus policy-, carrier- and commission-aware tools a generic CRM doesn't have.
$250 per month, flat, with no per-agent pricing. One-time fees apply only for data migration or email setup, and they're quoted upfront. Your own Quotamation API contract and any Bold Penguin appointment are separate.
On a server deployed for your agency. You own your data.
Yes. You don't need an export: in most cases we pull your data straight from your current system with your login, and we tell you what comes across. We have imported customers, policies and open leads from an AgencyZoom export.
Yes, and it's included. Every install has a free send-only API (leads, clients and documents) and a Claude Desktop (MCP) extension, so you can push data in from your website, Zapier, scripts or Claude. See the API & connector guide.
Yes — it's built for independent property & casualty agencies writing personal and commercial lines.
Working independent agency owners. The platform runs every day at Signature Insurance, a Kentucky independent agency.
Tell us a little about your agency and we'll give you a live tour of DarkHorse AMS — and talk through exactly how a switch would work for you. You’ll be talking one-on-one with the developer who built it, a working agency owner, not a sales rep.
Pick a time — a 45-minute one-on-one over Zoom.
