Small businesses need PEO brokerages that can meet their ever-growing needs, especially in the blue-collar industry, in this era of technology. This can be difficult for companies with employees in multiple states, as many PEO brokerages only service clients in one state.

O.C.M.I. Workers Comp & Professional Services, LLC is an insurance company based in Hollywood, Florida, that offers PEO brokerage services to any company of any size in any state. With a simple text message and onboarding platform, O.C.M.I. Workers Comp & Professional Services, LLC’s software is easy to use. In addition to its excellent scalability, the company offers exemplary PEO services and deserves its recognition as the best scalable PEO brokerage for small businesses.

While many professional employer organizations (PEOs) have old or no technology-driven platforms, O.C.M.I. Workers Comp has proprietary underwriting platforms that facilitate companies getting covered and approved quickly. They have an extensive and robust internal blue-collar underwriting process which, in turn, provides carriers the data they require to open the door while approving hard-to-place clients, especially in the construction market. With time, the insurance company has collected expansive amounts of data, thus providing more positive insights into their underwriting procedures.

To boost efficiency in their operations, O.C.M.I. was granted approved codes, allowing them to offer instant approvals to an extended list of high-risk clients. According to Oscar Montenegro, the company’s chief vision officer and CEO, it’s vital to work with a PEO brokerage with these underwriting features that can directly support your needs at every level.

Furthermore, O.C.M.I.’s services are highly competitive and affordable. Since its inception, the insurance company has constantly strived to excel and engineer better and faster ways of collecting data online and reducing paperwork in the best way possible.

The CVO shared, “Most companies avoid change and stay in the dinosaur age. Nonetheless, our specialty is being able to understand each client one at a time. You have to understand what each trade involves, i.e., you have to know construction, what carpenters do, what working above two storeys is, what roofers do, etc.”

Because of O.C.M.I.’s history in construction, they have acquired partnerships that allow their clients to get workers’ compensation through the available programs, a specialty they are proud of.

Oscar reveals that the company’s processes were quite challenging. To tackle this, the CEO says, “We have built our own CRM called Janice that basically crawls the internet and immediately gathers any information required, like the tax ID, any violations, any proof of coverage, and what carrier they had. This technology can minimize the process and the length it takes for our clients to get approved.”

Currently, the company has been able to successfully understand what carriers are looking for and what the client needs that the carriers will use to approve them. “Similarly, we have gotten away from all of the heavy paperwork, all of the delays, people having to print it out, fill it out, send it in, and we automated everything on our end. And that’s what we’re into automation,” Oscar added.

When asked about the future, the CVO responded, “We hope to be the top PEO brokerage in the country and become a totally integrative HR, workers’ comp, and payroll platform for any company of any size.”
