Columbus, OH (Nov. 7, 2019) \u2013 Betterview, which is quickly becoming the platform essential to every transaction around buildings and properties, and Nationwide today announced a three-year commercial agreement enabling the insurance carrier to utilize Betterview\u2019s predictive roof analytics and risk management platform for commercial property renewals. The partnership demonstrates a deepened relationship between Betterview and Nationwide, after the insurer made its initial investment in the artificial intelligence-powered startup in May 2018.<\/p>\n
Betterview\u2019s predictive analytics for buildings and properties uses proprietary computer vision, machine learning and data science to help predict the likelihood of a claim on residential and commercial roofs.<\/p>\n
\u201cNationwide recognized the potential of Betterview\u2019s insights around roof imagery and the data stream that flows from their machine learning platform, which is why we made our initial investment last year,\u201d said Eric Smith, senior vice president of Commercial Lines at Nationwide. \u201cThis three-year agreement will enable us to add Betterview\u2019s predictive analytics into our underwriting operations. Going forward, we\u2019ll be able to leverage our underwriting expertise and talent where it is needed most \u2013 on higher-value, more complex accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nationwide\u2019s relationship with Betterview began in May 2018 with its initial venture capital investment<\/a>. The insurance and financial services company later followed up on that investment by participating in Betterview\u2019s Series A investment round<\/a> along with Manchester Story, Compound, EMC Insurance and Maiden Re.<\/p>\n Since the release of its risk management platform and predictive analytics last year, Betterview has worked with many P&C insurance company customers, from top ten to small regional carriers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are proud that Nationwide not only saw the value of our predictive analytics to help the P&C insurance industry as a whole but also in applying it to their business to improve their underwriting operations,\u201d said David Lyman, CEO & Co-Founder, Betterview.<\/p>\n \u201cOver the last few months, we have allocated many resources to scale our data science and engineering teams to launch an instant roof risk score and generate insights about each building that is located inside a parcel boundary,\u201d added David Tobias, Betterview COO & Co-Founder. \u201cWe are looking forward to working alongside Nationwide to implement our data and analytics into other areas so we can help them provide next-generation experiences to their customers.\u201d<\/p>\n Along with this announcement, Betterview has published a case study about Nationwide\u2019s experience with Betterview.
