À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
Geospatial intelligence is changing the way insurers assess risk, but better decisions start with better data.
In this episode of Making Risk Flow, Jake Harding is joined by Mark Varley, CEO of Addresscloud, and Simon de la Hoyde, Sales Director, to discuss how building-level data, real-time accumulation visibility, and high-quality address intelligence help underwriters quote faster, select risks with greater confidence, and write more profitable business. They also explore why insurers should focus on data quality before AI, how specialized data platforms outperform in-house solutions, and how responsible AI can enhance underwriting without compromising accuracy, transparency, or governance.
