The story

Founded 2003 as a comparative rater for independent P&C insurance agents — the original product answered 'can I get three carrier quotes in under 15 minutes?' Over 20 years EZLynx expanded into a full all-in-one AMS covering rating, policy management, agency websites, accounting, and digital payments. Acquired by Applied Systems in 2021, consolidating the SMB independent-agency segment under Applied's umbrella alongside Applied Epic. Now shifting toward AI-embedded workflows via EVA, aiming to remain the default AMS for startup and growth-focused independent agencies.
