Increasing efficiency of insurance claims

Insurance companies worldwide are increasing their use of aerial imagery as a technology to drive efficiencies within the industry. Viewing the earth from above gives insurance companies the quick and efficient means to monitor and assess insured assets and surrounding environments. With our vast collection capabilities and ability to respond immediately, we can provide fast response to insurance companies and help monitor claims.

Risk modeling

Identifying the risk profile of a neighbourhood to set pricing levels is greatly enhanced by using historical and current views of aerial imagery to predict insurance risk impacts. Aerial image models quickly allow the insurance companies to extract environment and terrain risk, such as excessive damage from tree crowns, fire risks from brush or water damage from flood plains.

Damage assessment

Catastrophic impacts from and floods affect insurance and reinsurance companies. Responsiveness to claims can make the human tragedy less painful, and our imagery is a fast means of identifying the area of most need. Assessment to property and infrastructure such as roof damage, rebuilding claims, storm water damage and coastal flooding can occur without onsite claims or impact to local response teams.

Insurance fraud detection

Millions of dollars per year are lost to fraudulent insurance claims especially in the world of agriculture. Our high-resolution images provide insurance companies with valuable assessments of crop plantings, irrigation patterns and even how a specified crop was planted. Our vast coverage and historical imagery of regions throughout Canada provides evidence of whether misappropriation of insurance assets occurred, which is often evidence in litigation to support or deny claims.
